    Ibrahim became disabled after contracting polio (小儿麻痹症) when he was three years old. At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates.  
    Despite his disability, and his parents’ doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered (缠着) my parents until they finally let me go to school.”
    Ibrahim’s parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasn’t easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education.
    However, after only a year in school, Ibrahim’s education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition.
    In 2007, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架), corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖). Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school. 
    “I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.”
    Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55.
    小题1:Why did Ibrahim’s parents prefer Ibrahim to stay at home? 
    A．There was a lot of housework for him to do.
    B．They had no money to pay for his tuition.
    C．There were not enough schools in the country.
    D．They were afraid the students would make fun of him.
    小题2:How did Ibrahim go to school before his parents separated? 
    A．He went to school on his wheelchair.
    B．He went to school on his parents’ bicycle.
    C．He walked to school with the support of his hands.
    D．He walked to school using a pair of crutches.
    小题3: Ibrahim’s education was interrupted because of his _____.
    A．parents’ doubtsB．lack of tuitionC．physical disabilityD．terrible mood
    小题4:The best title for the passage might be _____.
    A．A long way to goB．Determined to learn
    C．The only disabled student D．I did not like that

    He had told me   38  that he was dealing with some difficult  39  problems. He was a caregiver for his sister who was ill. This day he came in, sat down and just sobbed(抽泣). I   40  while he told me how he had been up all night in the hospital with his sister and that was why he couldn’t take my exam that morning. I told him not to   41  it at all. He was clearly in no shape for an exam. I told him to go home and    42  . I reassured(使放心) him that I would do everything I could to help him get through the class.
    I just sat there while he sobbed. “I think she might die,” he gasped(喘着气说). “What am I going to do?” It was clear to me that he had never   43  this fear out loud to anyone. I just sat there, fully focused on him and his  44 , and tried to offer some soft words of   45  .
    After quite some time, he   46  himself. I reassured him again that it didn’t matter to me when he took his exam and that I would help him through. Then he left.
    Afterwards, I felt like his    47  was a blessing(为人带来幸福的事). Being able to help him while I was in pain myself was the most valuable gift.

Finally the   13 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three.

It was a feeling –the feeling I knew from that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

    WASHINGTON – Barack Obama swept to victory as the first black president in the US history Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. "Change has come," he told a huge group of cheering supporters.
    In his first speech as victor, Obama catalogued the challenges ahead. "The greatest of a lifetime," he said, "two wars, a planet in danger, the worst financial crisis in a century."
    He added, "There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face."
    The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states -- Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more.
    In his speech, Obama invoked (引用) the words of Lincoln and echoed John F. Kennedy.
    "So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in (努力投入) and work harder," he said.
    He and his running mate, Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths（宣誓）of office as president and vice president on Jan. 20, 2009.
    Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession (不景气), and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan.
    Obama has said his first order of presidential business will be to tackle the economy. He has also pledged to withdraw most US combat troops from Iraq within 16 months.
    小题1:What is special about Barack Obama, the newly-elected president of the United States?
    A．He has a black father and a white mother.
    B．He is the first black president in the US history.
    C．He defeated Republican Sen. John McCain easily.
    D．He will move into the White Palace on Jan. 20, 2009.
    小题2:What Obama emphasized in his first speech were ________.

    小题3:The first issue Obama will focus his attention on may probably be to ________.
    A．withdraw most US combat troops from IraqB．care for environmental protection
    C．declare two wars in Iraq and AfghanistanD．deal with the problems of economy

    Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts(账，账户); they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.
    小题1:A bank run happens when _______.
    A．too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time　　
    B．a bank is closed for one or more days
    　    		C．there is enough money to pay all its depositors at one time
    D．tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank
    小题2:The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.
    A．explain why they could not pay out all accounts
    B．pay out accounts as requested
    C．make the depositors believe that the bank was stand
    D．pay out money as slowly as possible
    小题3: According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected           mainly by the _______.
    A．ease with which they could get their money
    B．confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed
    C．confidence shown by other depositors of the bank
    D．failure of several other banks to open
