    Janice Fialka showed a new documentary (纪录片) about her cognitively (认知地) disabled son at schools and seminars across the country.Everyone seemed to enjoy it，but one comment from a teacher proved her family’s investment to Fialka was a success.
    “In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said，‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4­year old with Down Syndrome (先天愚型)，’”Fialka said.“She said，‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him.Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”
    The story of Micah Fialka­Feldman，a 22­year­old Oakland University student，is meant to show parents，educators and the disabled anything is possible.
    Fialka­Feldman wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true”．A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college，but because family and friends believed in him he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes.
    The title of the film Through the Same Door came from a day when Fialka­Feldman，who was enrolled in a first grade special education program，told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school.It led him to becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
    Though he can’t read or write on his own，Fialka­Feldman reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software，tutors，and the embrace (接受) of his community.
    At Berkley High School，Fialka­Feldman won the Social Studies Department Award for civic (公民的) involvement.In 2004 he received the Michigan “Yes，I Can” award for self­advocacy (自强)．
    He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance，took a 10­day trip through Israel with friends last year，and enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program，which is geared (使适合于) to help the disabled go from high school to college.
    Fialka said he’s the happiest kid in the world.Everyone should be so happy.
    小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Disabled Man Living His Dream
    B．Nothing Is Impossible
    C．Don’t Look Down Upon the Disabled
    D．Through the Same Door
    小题2:What the early childhood teacher said suggests that________.
    A．disabled people should be realistic about their dreams
    B．she used to believe we should not expect much from disabled people
    C．she hadn’t given the 4­year old with Down Syndrome enough attention
    D．the documentary about Fialka­Feldman encouraged the disabled
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true about Fialka­Feldman?
    A．He was the first cognitively disabled student in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
    B．He went to school by public transportation and was helped to pick up classes.
    C．He benefited from computer software and other people.
    D．He received the “Yes，I Can” award for civic involvement and self­advocacy

    b．His documentary was shown and welcomed.
    c．He was enrolled in a first grade special education program.
    d．He finished high school with a certificate of attendance.

    I never thought I would have a life­changing experience at Wal­Mart.
    Although my thoughts were only on speed，the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted，and I glanced toward the cashier.
    There stood a man in his seventies，wearing glasses and a nice smile.I thought，well，he’s an old guy!
    For the next few minutes I watched him.He greeted every customer before scanning the items.Sure，his words were the usual，“How’s it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
    I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a while，you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say，“I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply，“Have a great day！”
    But that wasn’t the end.
    He gave them the change，walked around the counter，and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I sure want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them.“You have a great day.Bye­bye.”
    The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected.They would gather their things and walk out，smiling.
    Of course，he did the same to me and I got to know his name，Marty.
    Who was that guy？It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
    I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
    小题1:The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because ________.
    A．the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others
    B．there were some big purchases
    C．the cashier did more than scanning the items
    D．the writer was not patient enough
    小题2:According to the writer，when common people ask you “How’s it going？” ________.
    A．they don’t really care what you may answer
    B．they are just practicing their conversation ability
    C．they are inquiring about your private information
    D．they don’t expect to hear any negative answers
    小题3:What was most customers’ reaction to Marty’s behaviors?
    A．They thought it priceless.
    B．They were in some way moved.
    C．They thought it awful and odd.
    D．They felt somewhat offended.
    小题4:What does the writer intend to express through the text?
    A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises.
    B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way.
    C．Being different is a good way of doing business.
    D．A little positive action can make a big difference.

    Jay Wilson was my English teacher at Lake Forest High School. It was him          realized my potential in writing, and his          made me a writer eventually.
    He was kind to me, but I had no          that he took particular notice of me. There were other         kids in the class, and soon I fell back into my usual         and thought that I was just a little over average in most things. Near the end of the term, we began to read the play--Macbeth. Believe me, this is not an easy play for high school students to understand,        I spent a lot of time reading it. After working till the night before it was due, I wrote a paper about the          — the first paper I typed on a typewriter — and turned it          the next day.
    I got a good          on it, and below the grade Mr. Wilson wrote, “Sure          you become a writer.” That was it. Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had          in any way that writing was a         option for me. We’d never had any writers in our family line, and we didn’t know any writers personally, even         , so writing for a living didn’t seem something          to me. But then, just like that, Jay Wilson tapped my hidden           and let me see a wider world.
    Over the next 10 years, I often          about Mr. Wilson’s six words. Whenever I felt discouraged, it was those six words that came back to me and gave me         . When a few instructors in college gently and not-so-gently tried to tell me I had no talent, I held Mr. Wilson’s          before me to protect myself. I didn’t         what anyone else thought. Mr. Wilson, head of the whole English department at Lake Forest High,          I could be a writer. So I put my head down and struggled forward.  396

    A ship was damaged during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors decided that they should pray to God.
    However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide（分割开）the land between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.
    The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s side of land remained barren.
    After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was damaged and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.
    Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
    Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship stopped at his side of the island.
    The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven, “Why are you leaving your partner on the island?”
    “My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them.” The first man answered. “ His prayers were all unanswered so he doesn’t deserve anything.”
    “You are mistaken!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”
    小题1:Why didn’t the two men stay together on the island?
    A．Because they both wanted to live a quiet life
    B．Because they couldn’t get along well with each other
    C．Because they wanted to test the power of their prayers
    D．Because they wanted to keep their own life secret from others
    小题2:The underlined word “barren” is closest in meaning to ______.
    A．noisy B．emptyC．dangerousD．calm
    小题3:Which of the following words can best describe the first man?
    A．Hard-workingB．LuckyC．SelfishD．Dishonest
    小题4:What does the author try to express through the story?
    A．God helps those who help themselves
    B．A life without a friend is a life without a sun
    C．A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds

    Yousuf Karsh，the Canadian portrait artist who photographed many of the most influential figures of the 20th century，died in a Boston hospital on July l3 th，2002．He was 93．
    Working from a studio in Ottawa，Karsh produced famous portraits of such subjects as Winston Churchill，John F．Kennedy，Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein．Actually he has become almost as famous as his legendary subjects．In the latest edition of Who’s Who，which listed the most notable people of the last century，Karsh was the only Canadian of the 100 famous people listed——51 0f whom Karsh had photographed．
    As a master portraitist，often working in black and white．Karsh was famous for talking to his subjects as he was getting the shot’s composition just right，asking them questions and putting them at ease．In preparation，he read as much as he could about the sitters，but avoided having the idea beforehand of how he would photograph them．He sought, as he wrote in Karsh Portfolio in 1967，to capture the “essential element which has made them great，” explaining，“All I know is that within every mall a secret is hidden，and as a photographer, it is my task to reveal it if I can．”
    Karsh was born in America in 1908，and his uncle，George Nakash，brought him to John Garo，all outstanding photographer，to teach him in 1928．Four years later，Karsh set up his own studio in Ottawa．
    In December of 1941，his memorable portrait of Winston Churchill brought Karsh into international fame．Canada’s Prime Minister Mackenzie King arranged for him to photograph Churchill following Churchill’s speech in the House of Commons．Not told，Churchill lit up a cigar, “Why was I not told of this?’’ Karsh asked him to remove the cigar and，when he didn’t，stepped forward and gently removed it with the comment，“Forgive me，Sir．”Churchill glowered (怒目而视) as the shot was taken，then permitted Karsh to take still another,；jokingly commenting，“You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed．” The Churchill portrait has since appeared in publications all over the world．
    Karsh traveled to London in 1943 with his portable studio —— an 8-by-10 view camera and many studio lamps to photograph such notables as George Bernard Shaw and the royal family．All these portraits fully illustrate Karsh’s ability．
    小题1:What did Karsh seek to do most in working?
    A．Capture the essence and greatness of the character．
    B．Present the true and vivid expression of the subject．
    C．Make the photograph more colorful and expressive．

    小题3:The last three paragraphs are mainly developed by __________ ．
    A．following time orderB．providing examples
