    13．After the examination，the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally．On the way home from hospital，no one said a word．One day，would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it？
       That September，I entered middle school．Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read．To keep up with other children，I took great trouble to finish the task．With my nose a couple of inches from the page，I was tired easily．What's worse，after I had read several pages on my own，the words slipped off the page into inky pools．
       However，then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now．Instead，Mom volunteered to read out loud．Mom worked part-time，cleaned the house，cooked and spent time with Grandma．In spite of being so busy，she showed up in my room like clockwork．She put on her reading glasses．Mom always thought those glasses made her look old．To me，she looked like a teacher．
    In my room，Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock．Being forced to focus on listening，I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids．When the teacher asked a question，I raised my hand with confidence．Teachers praised me for having a good memory．Reading removed my fear for my failing sight，reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed．Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each page，my mind lit up with every new book．
    True to what the doctor said，the worst came，but thanks to Mom，my sense of hearing now allows me to"see"．This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child．
    24．Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital？C
    A．They all wanted to have a good rest．
    B．The author didn't do well in the exam．
    C．What the doctor said made them worried．
    D．They focused on the scenery along the road．
    25．How did the author manage to get high marks？B
    A．By being confident．
    B．By listening carefully．
    C．By getting help from his classmates．
    D．By reading as many books as possible．
    26．We can learn from the text thatD．
    A．the author's sight recovered finally
    B．reading made the author more sensitive
    C．the author's mother didn't work to look after him
    D．reading made the author not worry about his sight
    27．Which of the following could be the title of the text？C
    A．My eyesight trouble           
    B．An unforgettable experience
    C．With ears wide open           
    D．About Mother's love．

    18．Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience，fear may top the list．
    （36）F．Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter-like following our dreams，and developing important relationships．I have some ideas，though，of how to be free from fear．
    ●Experience fear．
    I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people．I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat．However，each time I spoke，I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad．Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind．（37）D．
    ●Create space．
    The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear．This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear，or trying to talk ourselves out of it．（38）A．In fact，a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the"fight or flight（逃避）"response in the body．
    ●Control the breath and feel the fear．
    Once we acknowledge the presence of fear，the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler．We try to make the breath just a little bit longer，and feel how fear manifests（展现） in the body．（39）G．
    With practice，we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one．（40）B．For instance，before I get up to speak in front of a group of people，I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully．

    A．Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists．
    B．We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do．
    C．Fear，if left uncontrolled，can even destroy our life．
    D．So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear．
    E．When we can see a positive outcome in our mind，fear no longer holds us back．
    F．But fear is more than just physically unpleasant．
    G．As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear，we can see fear objectively．

    5．The Future of Technology
    William，a businessman，arrives in a foreign airport．He doesn't show his passport．Instead，a machine in the wall reads the computer chip（芯片）in his arm．Th is contains information about him：his name，age，and I．D number．He exits the airport，and a car door opens when it"sees"him．The car takes him to his hotel．His room"knows"he has entered the building and it"reads"his body．He is cold，so the room becomes warmer．William then watches a business presentation on a video wall．When he takes a bath，the presentation"follows him and continues on the bathroom wall．Finally，the room plays music to help him sleep．It turns off the m usic when it"sees"him sleeping．
    William doesn't exist，and none of this is real．But it might be soon．"In five to ten years，computing and communications are going to be free and everywhere，in your walls，in your car，on your body，'says Victor Zue，leader of Project Oxygen．
    Project Oxygen has one big idea：to create better relationships between machines and people．The dream is that computer will learn to understand what people want．
    So，what changes will there be at work？Firstly，the building will know where everyone is，all the time．You want to talk to someone？Type the person's name on the nearest computer．It will show you a map of the building and exactly where this person is．You then call this person，who picks up the nearest telephone，also shown on the computer．If he or she is busy with a client（客户）or in a meeting，the computer will tell you．
         Is all this really possible？Visit the Siebel Center，Illinois and see for yourself：computers in the doors and walls，cameras everywhere，the technology of the future，but here today．

    2．Learning About Different Cultures
    Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days．Culture can bring us together，but it can also be a cause of division．How does our own culture affect the way we view others？What steps can we take to minimize problems？
    Once my friend，who is of Greek origin，went to Sweden on business．He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden．This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30percent，as well as make the finished product look better．After presenting this program to the managers and directors，he waited for their feedback．At first it was quiet．Then，the general manager said，"Hmm，this looks good．"in a flat voice．"Hmm，I agree，"said another．My friend was in shock．Later on，when he told this to me，he said，"My mother used expressions such as‘Fabulous!'and‘Marvelous!'．These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program，and all they could say was"Hmm．Good．I don't understand it!"
    What was the problem？Culture．What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another．The Swedes were thrilled，and they thought it was a fantastic computer program．They just had a different way of showing it．
    Another example：I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me，especially if it was something important．It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way．Now，my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking．"I want them to respect me，"she says．Who is right？Both．That's the beauty of culture．There is no such thing as right or wrong，good or bad culture．
    Of course，one has to take into consideration people living nearby．It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live．On the other hand，when people move into our country，we can make an effort to get to know their culture．Ask them about their country； ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes．It can be quite interesting，actually．This doesn't mean we have to like it，or live our lives in their way．But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people．
    When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way，it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security．You know what to do in different situations．For example：at the time of birth and death．Let's give place to culture．Try to know and understand other people's culture，and also try to analyze our own．Let's choose our own way of life．Above all else---let's live in peace with all men!


    Title：Learning About Different Cultures
    Introduction●Culture can not only bring people together but also （71）divide/separate them．

    （72）Examples    		●A friend of Greek origin was （73）shocked/surprised when he received ordinary feedback from some Swedish people．
    ●In some countries，looking at somebody when he/she is speaking is a way of showing （74）respect/politeness，while in Nigeria，it is the （75）opposite．

    Facts    		●People of different cultures have a different way of expressing themselves．
    ●All Cultures are right and good．That is where the （76）beauty of culture lies．


    Solutions    		●A person should be （77）considerate/thoughtful/nice/kind to the people around and learn about the local culture．
    ●People should also learn about the culture of those who have newly arrived．
    ●Learning about others'culture can be of （78）interest and can help reduce （79）disagreements/misunderstanding（s） between people．
    Summary●Understanding others'culture can help people live （80）peacefully．

    3．Dear Cutie-Pie，
    Recently，your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google．Half way through entering the question，Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world．At the top of the list was"How to keep him interested．"
    It surprised me a lot．I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual，when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich，and the ways to make him feel smart and superior．
    And I got angry．
    Little One，it is not，has never been，and never will be your job to"keep him interested．"
    Little One，your only task is to know deeply in your soul-in that unshakeable place that isn't upset by rejection and loss-that you are worthy of interest．
    If you can trust your worth in this way，you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world：you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you．
    Little One，I want to tell you about the boy who doesn't need to be kept interested，because he knows you are interesting．
    I don't care if he can't play a bit of golf with me-as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you．I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet-as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you．I don't care if he is strong-as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart．I couldn't care less how he votes-as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart．I don't care about the color of his skin．I don't care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion．
    Little One，if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common，we will have the most important thing in common：You．
    Because in the end，Little One，the only thing you should have to do to"keep him interested"is to be you．
    Your eternally interested guy，
    Daddy
    56．What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet？B
    A．Girls'knowing nothing about trusting themselves．
    B．Girls'giving priority to finding ways to please boys．
    C．Girls'bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time．
    D．Girls'being upset by being rejected constantly．
    57．Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is toB．
    A．keep the boy interested
    B．know she deserves a boy's interest
    C．attract a boy willing to invest all in her
    D．find a boy who can please her
    58．According to the passage，what does the underlined word"revel"mean？D
    A．feel depressed
    B．become puzzled
    C．look around
    D．enjoy himself
    59．What's the main purpose of this letter？A
    A．To advise his daughter to trust her worth．
    B．To inform his daughter how to keep others interested．
