A
Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.
Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn’t take care of a special needs students. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace （节奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.
The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06--- being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.
But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.” “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results.” She often said.

【小题3】D
【小题4】C
解析这是一篇关于一位听障青年（ a hearing-impaired young man）自强不息的励志故事,其中包括了母亲的呕心沥血，永不言弃的决心。本文呼吁家庭和社会应对残疾人有关爱之心，同时也在无形当中起到了鼓励青少年永不言败，自强不息。
【小题1】此题考查文章的细节。根据文章的第一段的第二句话可得出答案。
【小题2】此题属于推理判断题。C选项具有一定的迷惑性，父母亲并不是因为校长的话而把儿子送往学校的，所以他不是母亲作出此决定的原因。C与D明显错误。无论把儿子送往“private classes”还是“ a regular school”都是想让儿子过上正常的生活。
【小题3】此题也属于推理判断题。做对本题的关键是要看清题目中的“in his study”,否则就容易误选。在根据第二段的最后一句话“But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.”可推断出答案。

While I was having dinner with a well-known author and lecturer, our conversation drifted to money. “I have enough money,” he told me casually. “I don’t need any more money.”
“Of course you can say that,” I thought to myself. “You get fifteen thousand dollars for a lecture.”
Then I caught my thought process, and pondered(仔细考虑)more deeply on his statement. Is he satisfied because he has a lot of money, or does he have a lot of money because he chooses to be satisfied?
I know people with more money than this man, and they still don’t have enough. And I know people with very little money, and they always have enough. So is enoughness something that happens to us when we reach a certain level, or is it an experience we can choose and celebrate at any time?
My friends Adrian and Carey live in a humble cottage in the rainforest. They have quite a modest income, no telephone, and they walk around naked most of the time. I think they are the happiest people I know. They wake up with the sun, love each other very much, and welcome guests with a full and open heart. They appreciate every moment of their lives, have no distraction games going, and are not waiting for the big break around the corner. When I am with them, the predominant（主要的）feeling I have is, “It’s all right here—why would anyone want anything more?”
Ram Dass used to say, “There are three kinds of people in the world: those who say, ‘Too much!’; those who say, ‘Not enough!’; and those who say, “Ah, just right!’”; Since “too much” of one thing implies “not enough” of another, there are really only two approaches to life: lack or contentment.
From the first paragraph, we can infer that the lecturer ___________.
A. was living a happy life B. was careless about his money
C. was satisfied with his life D. was rich enough to live a happy life
We learn from the underlined part that ____________.
A. it’s money that is of importance B. it’s not money but the attitude that matters
C. we don’t have to have much money D. we won’t have enough money in life
What does the author think of Adrian and Carey’s life?
A. They have no guests. B. They have all they want.
C. They live a very hard life. D. They live a very happy life.
According to the last paragraph, people have two different attitudes towards life: ____________.
A. not enough or too much B. lack or too much
C. lack or contentment D. just right or enough
Which of the following best suits the passage?
A. Nothing is better than a contented mind.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Practice makes perfect.
D. Better late than never.
