At 13 years of age, my parents and I visited a doctor. The doctor shone a bright light into my eyes and looked into them.
―She did receive 1 from his father ,‖ he said with coldness. ―You need to be prepared. There is no 2 for this disease. ‖
My father carried the Retinitis (视网膜炎) gene causing the retina to become worse, which, in most cases, results in 3 . Although my brother‘s retinas seemed to be fine, I‘d inherited (遗传) the gene.
After fifteen years, my father began to lose his eyesight and so did I. He was 55 years old, 4 I was only 28. Two years later, we had both lost our sight 5 . However, my father had given me not only the Retinitis gene, but also the example of 6 _. We were all living in Bolivia in 1964 when he against the family‘s 7 decided to move to America. He worked 8 to satisfy the requirements 9 by the US Immigration Department to enter the country and got American 10 .
Once in the States, he overcame great loneliness, helplessness and 11 . And he managed to 12 enough money for the basics – to rent a small apartment, buy 13 furniture from stores and put down a payment on a car. Nine months later, he sent airline tickets for my mom, my brother and me.
Decades later, as an American citizen, I 14 back at what he‘d shown me. He 15 . me the determination to move forward when facing 16 . He set an example proving that modesty is the key to success. He showed the commitment to family and the importance of keeping dreams.
His journey taught me 17 lessons for my own path in the darkness. I did the same as I 18 into the unfamiliarity of a sightless world. With great 19 for my father‘s example, I learned how he had used the power of faith and determination; the same power I use to 20 my own role as a wife, mom, Sunday school teacher, Spanish court translator, inspirational speaker and writer. 1.

She called her 7 offices and asked what kind of medicines would be needed to help out in a poor area. She 8 toothbrushes, bandages, etc....until she had suitcases full of things to take to Cairo with her. Atira was going with a group on her next trip to Egypt so she asked some of the other 9 in the tour group to help by bringing used children's clothing, pencils, and children's books with them to be given to this 10 nun Sister E.
On their arrival in Cairo, she didn‘t know what to do with the mountain of 11 for the Nun. She asked the hotel manager to 12 the nun and was told that the nun was out of the country and would not be back until Atira had returned to 13 . The Hotel Manager said he would store the goods and 14 them to the Sister E for Atira.
But that is not the miracle part. The miracle is how one person can 15 the lives of others and how our 16 lead to miracles.

A total solar eclipse (日食) which will pass over some of Earth‘s most densely populated regions on July 22, 2009, may become the 1 viewed eclipse ever. People across central India and in parts of Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Myanmar will briefly 2 themselves in daytime 3 before the solar eclipse reaches China.
Most of the best viewing 4 are in China, where some 30 million people will be able to 5 the solar eclipse in the coastal cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou alone, according to eclipse scientist Jay Pasachoff of Williams College in
Massachusetts. The eclipse will then 6 east, passing 7 Japan‘s Ryukyu before reaching its maximum duration (持续时间) point over the Pacific Ocean, where the sun will be completely 8 by the moon for 6 minutes and 39 seconds.
Thousands of 9 tourists and 10 millions of Chinese are 11 in areas along the eclipse 12 , where hotels are 13 higher rates, according to Chinese media reports. The July 2009 total solar eclipse is expected to have the longest duration of all eclipses in the 21st century, experts say.
Pasachoff will see only about five and half minutes of the total eclipse from a 14 in eastern China. Pasachoff and his team will observe the solar eclipse from a remote hotel at an 15 of about 900 meters on Tianhuangping, a mountain outside the Chinese city of Hangzhou. The location sits above 16 that could obstruct (遮住) a full view of the eclipse.
He chose the site years 17 so he could witness the event from the Asian mainland. Teams of 18 from around the world have already joined him at Tianhuangping. Pasachoff will witness his 49th solar eclipse and 29th total eclipse since he began observing the 19 on October 2, 1959. ―We brought about half a ton of equipment and picked up an equal 20 borrowed here from our Chinese colleagues, so there is a lot to get ready,‖ he added. 1.

Passage 20
My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to 1 normally - but would 2 run very well. The first
three years of his life were spent in 3 , casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a 4 when you saw him walk.
The children in our 5 ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right 6 and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run 7 the other children. So he didn't know.
In seventh grade he 8 to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he 9 with the team. He worked harder and ran 10 than any of the others -
perhaps he sensed that the 11 that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. 12 the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103-degree 13 . I was 14 , so I went to look for him after school. I found him 15 all alone. I asked him 16 he felt. \"Okay,\" he said. He had two more miles to go. The 17 ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight 18 and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number 19 on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. He just 20 it. 1.

Passage 21
A Northern Ireland team is leading a research to develop a thinking computer which can sense a user‘s mood. 1 at Queen‘s University in Belfast hope to complete the 10 million euro project for an 2 computer within four years.
The 3 is to enable computers to think and behave more like 4 . The Europe-wide project is being led by the university‘s School of Psychology and 5 160 researchers from 27 institutions. The university‘s researchers developed the 6 and signed the 7 with the European Commission. The academics said the work will build 8 attempts to create ―multi-modal interfaces(多模式界面)‖ which allow 9 to sense and respond to the moods of the user.
Programme leader Professor Roddy Cowie said 10 it sounds like science fiction, computers which respond to human emotion will 11 in the future. –At the moment, our use of computers is 12 by the fact that we need a keyboard and a screen to 13 them,‖ he said. ―It would make a big difference if we could 14 with them and a transmitter(传感器).―But emotion is part of normal speech, and experience has shown that most users are 15 uncomfortable with speech interfaces that 16 it– too uncomfortable to use them very much. lf we can make computers more intuitive (蔷于直觉的) and expressive, and also 17 challenging to use, there is great potential to let people make fuller use of 18 technology.‖
The emotion-sensitive computer would have its own ―personality‖ and establish a 19 relationship with the user. ―It‘s a fair bet that in 30 years‘ time, emotion-sensitive interfaces will be as much part of life as window and mouse interfaces are now,‖ said Professor Cowie.

Passage 22
I hurried into the local department store to buy some last-minute Christmas gifts. I found myself in the 1 department. I saw a little boy about five holding a lovely doll. He obviously 2 the doll very much, but his aunt told him that he didn‘t have 3 money to buy it. The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere, and that she had to go to get some other things. She then 4 the boy.
The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the boy 5 the doll was for. He said, ―It is the doll my 6 wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it.‖ I told him that maybe Santa was going to bring it. He said, ―No, Santa 7 go where my sister is. I have to give the doll to my 8 to take it to her.‖ I asked him where his sister was. He said, ―She has gone to be with 9 . My Daddy says that Momma is going to have to go to be with her.‖
My heart nearly 10 beating. Then the boy looked at me again and said, ―I told my Daddy to tell Momma not to go yet. I told him to tell her to 11 till I got back from the store. I want my Momma to take this with her so she will never 12 me. I love my Momma so much and I wish she did not have to leave me. 13 Daddy says she needs to be with my sister.‖
14 he was not looking I reached into my purse and pulled out a handful of 15 . I asked the little boy to 16 the money one more time. I secretly put the money into his and we began to count it. And of course there was 17 for the doll. He softly said, ―Thank you, Jesus, for giving me enough money.‖

Passage 23
It was only a few weeks after my surgery, and I went to Dr Belt‘s office for a checkup. My 1 was still very tender. My breasts had been cut off. As usual, I was taken to an 2 room to have my blood drawn, again – a 3 process for me, since I‘m so frightened of needles.
I 4 down on the examining table. Ramona entered the room. Her warm smile was 5 , and stood out in contrast to my 6 . I first saw her in her office a few weeks 7 . She wasn‘t my 8 that day, but I remember her because she was laughing. She laughed in deep, round and rich tones. I remember wondering what could be so 9 behind that medical door. So I decided she wasn‘t 10 enough about the whole thing and that I would try to find a nurse who was. But I was 11 .
This day was different. Ramona had taken my 12 before. She knew about my fear of 13 . As we opened the shirt and dropped the camisole (女士背心), the catheter (导管) on my breast was exposed and the 14 scar on my chest could be seen. She said, ―How is your scar 15 ?‖
I said, ―I think pretty well. I wash around it gently each day.‖
She gently reached 16 and ran her 17 across the scar, examining the smoothness of the healing skin. I began to 18 gently and quietly. She brought her warm eyes to mine and said, ―You haven‘t touched it yet, have you?‖ And I said, ―No.‖
So this wonderful, warm woman laid her hand on my pale chest and she gently held it there. For a long time, I continued to cry quietly. In 19 tones she said, ―This is part of your body. This is you. It‘s okay to touch it.‖ But I couldn‘t. So she touched it for me. The scar. The healing wound. And beneath it, she touched my 20 . Then Ramona said, ―I‘ll hold your hand while you touch it. So she placed her hand next to mine, and we both were quiet. That was the gift that Ramona gave me. 1. A. wound B. injury C. spar D. scar 2. A. operation B. emergency C. examination D. aid 3.

Passage 24
With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel and hospitality industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn't necessarily mean vacationing in a 1 house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is definitely an 2 .
The 3 of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories; hotels and resorts that 4 ecologically significant habitats, \"green\" hotels that reduce, recycle, 5 waste, and conserve water, 6 hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or obtain part or all of their 7 from renewable energy, hotels that encourage community 8 such as guests participating in trail clearing, and hotels that offer some form of 9 education to their guests.
As such, eco-hotels are a 10 group. Stylish urban hotels like The Willard InterContinental Washington focus on energy conservation, 11 The Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington state 12 a wildly popular ―green\" vacation package where guests can ―take a hike, clear a trail\" and enjoy a vacation\" and in return receive a special \"green\" 13 . Gyreum is a hostel in Sligo, Ireland that is oriented towards the sunrises and sunsets of the summer and winter solstices, uses sheep wool insulation, is powered by the sun and wind, and has a living roof as well as an 14 garden.
No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they're all part of the \"greening\" of the 15 industry.
Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt 16 . Going green is yet another way to 17 themselves from the multitude of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose 18 . But for many hotels including Maho Bay, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, and smaller eco-boutique hotels like The Ambrose in Santa Monica, California, it's also part of their philosophy. With the concept of \"going green\" firmly 19 in consumers' minds, eco-hotels take it to the next level, and whether or not money is the 20 factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn't matter so much as that it's good for the planet.

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a 1 at the next house. 2 , he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.
She thought he looked 3 so brought him a large glass of 4 . He drank it slowly, and then asked, \"How much do I owe you?\"
\"You don't owe me anything,\" she replied. \"Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a 5 .\"
He said..... \"Then I thank you from my heart.\" As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his 6 in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Years‘ later that young woman became 7 ill. The local 8 were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in 9 to study her 10 disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the 11 . When he heard the name of the 12 she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went 13 the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He 14 her at once. He went back to the consultation room 15 to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the 16 .
After a long struggle, the battle was 17 . Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for 18 . He looked at it, then 19 something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was 20 it would take the rest of her life to

Passage 28
Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. 1 a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the 2 in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The 3 student is considered to be 4 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 5 , not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 6 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is 7 for learning the material assigned.
When research is 8 , the professor expects the students to take it actively and to complete it with 9 guidance. It is the 10 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 11 a university library works; they expect students, 12 graduate students(研究生),
13
to be able to exhaust the reference 13 in the library.
Professors will help students who need it, but 14 that their students should not be 15 dependent on them.

I 3 coffee in takeout cups and 4 waited for customers who‘d point through the glass case and say, ―No, not that one, the one two rows over.‖
Every afternoon around four o‘clock, a group of school children would 5 into the shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass 6 . I didn‘t mind if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.
I came to know them 7 well. The girls would talk about school. The boys were more quiet, choosing not to 8 their secrets, but still, they‘d wait every day in the store 9 their bus came. When it snowed, the kids and I would wait anxiously for a very 10 bus. They‘d call their 11 to let them know they were okay. I 12 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days. I enjoyed my pals, but it never 13 to me that I played an important role in their 14 --- until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man entered the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o‘clock. I 15 it was true, and he introduced himself 16

―I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. It means a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping a(n) 17 on them.‖
I told him it wasn‘t a big 18 , that I enjoyed the kids. ―No, you don‘t understand. When they‘re with the doughnuts lady, I know they are 19 . It is a big deal.‖

What was happening there on Walnut Street was that someone was 4 , just like in the old days. For 12 hours every day, rain, snow or 5 , this guy would sit in front of his junk shop and wave to all who 6 --- to people in cars and trucks, on tractors and bikes, even to pedestrians--- as if he was 7 and cared about them.
Clarence Chapman, Tamaroa‘s first 8 waver, is a 64-year-old forced out of farming by economics and out of a job by asthma that still starts him coughing when he laughs too 9 . Explains Clarence: ―I decided that the world had 10 how to be friendly-like. So I began to wave. I‘m 11 saying ‗Howdy, How are you? Nice day.‘‖
Later Clarence was 12 by his son, Sam, fresh out of college with a major in philosophy. ―The demand for philosophers was somewhat 13 then, as now,‖
15
Sam says. So he joined his father‘s junk business. A low-pressure job, it provided 14 time for at least one Chapman to wave at every passing personal. At mealtimes, they take 15 going indoors so they don‘t 16 an auto.
Today, many passers-by wave back. A few shout 17 to the men they‘ve never seen before. Many stop to 18 .

Math is very difficult for me, so I don‘t know why I thought I could take classes in pre-calculus in my junior year.
I like Mr. Trout, his values and what he believed in 1 a teacher. He wanted us to really 2 what we were doing. I respected that, but all the numbers were still so 3 to me. I studied endless hours, and it 4 at first, until the algebra was over.
That was 5 I learned how to ask for help.
I really hated having to ask for help on something as silly as 6 problem. I realized that the only 7 I would survive pre-calculus would be to 8 a tutor.
Oh, how I 9 having to tell my parents that I needed a tutor. I felt so 10 . Mr. Hicks came to my house the next week. I 11 how I was going to bring myself to ask this man questions. But he 12 took his pen and paper out, asked me what chapter we were 13 , and began to teach.
It was amazing. I began to understand math. I did example 14 with him, worked them out several times until understood the process. I didn‘t feel 15 asking questions because it was helping.
Ask for help was not what I thought it would be. 16 it was a very good thing. I
16
actually felt smarter for it, and it was really satisfying 17 . I fact, I plan on asking for help as 18 as possible. But I have found that I can still be 19 and ask for help

Passage 32
I love to roller skate, although I really couldn‘t skate well until a few years ago. I began skating at my neighborhood skating rink every Monday night. A group of young people would 1 at the rink(滑冰场). It seemed that 2 else in the group could skate well and most of them could 3 skate backwards. But not me.

Feeling a little 12 , I stared skating a little too fast. I made the turns a little too 13 . Suddenly I realized that I was out of 14 , and I slammed into the rink wall. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.
But along with the 15 pain of my accident, I felt the pain of embarrassment. Before opening my eyes, I already 16 that my friends were laughing at me. When I came to my 17 , though, my friends were helping me get up to my skates again. And not one of them was laughing at me. A few of them even 18 me, ―Keep going! You‘re doing well,‖ they said.
That day I learned a very important lesson. Falling is part of any leaning 19 .
