    I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely(模糊地) 　1　 the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see things again, 　2　 a disaster can do strange things to people. It happened to me the other day that I might not have come to love 　3　 as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not sure that I would believe in it so 　4　. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I 　5　 mean that the loss of 　6　 made me enjoy more of 　7　 I have now.

My parents and my teachers saw 　11　 in me－a potential(潜力) to live, you might call it－which I didn’t see, and they make me fight it out with blindness.
    The hardest 　12　 I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was what I had to do at least. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would become a chair rocker for the 　13　 of my life. When I say I believe in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase 　14　. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: A belief that I could deal with anything alone; that somewhere in the 　15　 there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

     “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
    We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked around aimlessly.
    A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
    But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits(容许) it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
    I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
    I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
    In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.      
    All the lights were off except father’s.
    Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking me underneath the covers (掖被子) while I am sleeping.
    This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
    The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none!
    小题1:Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
    a. I opened the door and entered the house.
    b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
    c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
    d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
    e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
    A．b-e-d-c-aB．b-e-c-d-aC．b-e-a-c-dD．b-e-c-a-d
    小题2:What made the writer think of his childhood?
    A．The sight of the street lights.
    B．The sight of the empty street.
    C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
    D．The sight of light in his own house.
    小题3:What can we infer about the reason why the father often shouts at his son?
    A．The father is getting older and older.
    B．The son has more fashionable opinions than his father.
    C．They usually disagree with each other.

    Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(缝纫)or reading.
    After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
    One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(可见的). Her window was clean!
    Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
    That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings(缺点)? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判)someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

    Dreams can happen in any of the four stages of sleep. The most memorable and clearest dreams happen in the last stage of sleep (also known as REM sleep). The sleep cycle repeats about four to five times every night. So you can see how a person has several different dreams in one night. Most people only remember dreams that happen closer to the morning when they are about to wake up. That you can’t remember those dreams does not mean they never happened.
    The stages in the sleep cycle are organized by the changes in different brain activities.

    Stage 1: You are entering into light sleep. In this stage, your eyes move rapidly. We call this NREM. The body gets relaxed and your body temperature lowers. Your heart rate lowers, too. The body is preparing to enter into deep sleep.
    Stage 2: Also characterized by NREM. In this stage, the body temperature and heart rate drop again. You are completely asleep.
    Stage 3: Still in the NREM stage, this is a deeper sleep still.
    Stage 4: In this stage of sleep, your eyes move back or forward. We call it REM sleep. This stage happens at about 90-100 minutes after the beginning of sleep. Your blood pressure rises, heart rate speeds up. The majority of your dreams happen in this stage.
    These stages repeat themselves throughout a night’s sleep.
    小题1: Dreams can happen in ___________.
    A. Stage 1 and 2           B. Stage 3 and 4            C. every stage
    小题2:Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. These stages will happen once or twice one night.
    B. Most people only remember the dreams that happen when they are about to wake up.
    C. If one can’t remember his dreams, he never dreams at all.
    小题3:What will happen in Stage 2?
    A. Eyes move rapidly.   B. People enter into light sleep.    C. Heart rate drops.
    小题4:The first REM sleep happens about ___________ after the starting of sleep.
    A. 1 to 2 hours                     B. 2 to 3 hours                     C. 10 minutes
    小题5:The passage is mainly about ___________.
