阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)
[1]Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence.However,you can receive better grades if you want.Yes,even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work.Here’s how:
[2]Plan your time carefully.Make a list of your weekly tasks.Then make a schedule of your time.Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments.Of course,studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
[3]Make good use of your time in class.Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later.Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
[4]Skim before you read.Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully.As you preview the material,you get some idea of the content and how it is organized.Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions.Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve you comprehension as well.
[5]_____,Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused.If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day,skim and read that material,too.If you review your notes and textbook regularly,the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer.Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.
[6]Develop a good attitude towards tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.The word won’t end if you don’t pass a test,so don’t worry excessively about a single test.

It was a warm March evening,and I’d just taken a seat on the bus that would take me home.It was nearly 6:00 PM,but the bus was not yet full and the driver gave no  26  that he intended to start the bus.
A middle-aged woman took a seat opposite me . She was crying.Not speaking to anyone in particular,she   27 told her story.
She had come to the city to visit her daughter.On the way to the terminal(终点站),a thief had _28_ one of her bags.It had contained half of the money she’d brought with her.The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she _29_ still had some money left.The bus conductor,driver,and other passengers listened to her tale.
At this time, an old man _30_got on the bus.He sat in the seat directly in front of the woman.After a few minutes, all seats were __31__.The driver started the engine.The bus conductor collected tickets and began asking us where we were  _32__.When he came to the old man’s seat,he became __33__  and asked the old man whether he had any money.The old man _34__ that he did not.He explained that he _35_ all his money this morning when he’d accidentally got on the wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.
Upon hearing this,the bus conductor _36_ the old man to get off the bus.The old man was almost in tears as he begged the bus conductor to let him take that bus  _37_ he could get home before dark.The bus driver approached the old man,and repeated the conductor’s _38__ to get off the bus.
“Stop troubling him! Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”she interrupted.“He doesn’t have any money!”the driver shouted.“Well, that’s no  _39_ to throw him off the bus,”she insisted.Then she said,“How much is his fare?”The bus conductor mumbled the amount.“Fine.”said the woman.She _40_ inside her blouse, took out her __41__ money,and handed the fare to the bus conductor.“Here’s his fare and mine.Just stop giving him a hard time.”
All eyes turned _42__ the woman,who,just minutes before,had been crying over the money she’d lost.“It’s only money,” she shrugged.
By the time the bus pulled out of the terminal,she had given the old man some bread and a dollar.She rode the rest of the way home _43__ a Mona Lisa smile of peace and grace,and the money she’d lost _44_was forgotten.
On the road of life,the politeness and smiles of _45__ can lighten our loads and lift our spirits.How much sweeter the journey when we make it a little smoother and richer for others !

I got my first driver’s license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte,North Carolina.Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman.Henry and I were living in Baltimore,Maryland.Two weeks before my 20th birthday,Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon.When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license,ready to renew,the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21.“Mr. Henry Smith,your husband,will have to sign for you,” he said.
I argued,pointing to a very large belly(肚子) of mine,“I am married.I am having a baby.Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?”He answered coldly.“It’s the law,madam.”
Henry encouraged me to calm down,just go ahead and get the license and be done with it.“No,”I said.I refused to have him sign for me.So I left without a Maryland license.
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle office and renewed my NC license by mail--using my name Susan Brown.And thus it was for the next twelve years.Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license.By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland,and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam.Since then I just go in and renew every four years--sign the name Susan Brown,have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.
小题1:Susan got her first driver’s license_______.

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn"t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don"t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn"t see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn"t been able to do that, I would have collapsed (崩溃) and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance(确信) that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate(错综复杂的) pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. "I can"t use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia"s Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

My work is done.” Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. For 20 years, its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a century’s prosperity. One of America’s bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed.
But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed. Though the ends be needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company.
Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy, and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor, and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr. on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel. When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity from the Eastman Kodak Company.
In an era of easy digital photography, when we can take a picture of anything at any time, we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people. Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted pictures in studios and formal settings. But most people couldn’t afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasn’t just people whose features were savable; it was events, the sacred and precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanity’s moment.
And it wasn’t just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that familes cherish.  Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings, picnics and parties, be preserved and saved. It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form. Lovers could take one another’s pictures, children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school, the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording, and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made. And for centuries to come, those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny. Family history will be not only names on paper, but smiles on faces.
The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job, but also allowed the company’s founder to engage in some of the most generous philanthropy in America’s history. Not just in Kodak’s home city of Rochester, New York, but in Tuskegee and London, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He bankrolled two historically black colleges, fixed the teeth of Europe’s poor, and quietly did good wherever he could. While doing good, Kodak did very well. Over all the years, all the Kodakers over all the years are essential parts of that monumental legacy. They prospered a great company, but they – with that company – blessed the world.
That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company.
Like its founder, we should remember how it lived, not how it died.
History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company.
But history will never forget Kodak.

B.happened to be on the spot when President Kennedy was shot dead.
C.set up his company in the capital of the US before setting up its branches all over the world.
D.was not only interested in commercial profits, but also in the improvement of other people’s lives.

A.no photos has ever been taken of people or events
B.photos were very expensive and mostly taken indoors

My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right---they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.
That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?
Then came my mother’s birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don’t worry,” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident. I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”
When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage(胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.
The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.
“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked. “I’m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away(眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed.
小题1:According to the text, we know the writer’s father was __________.
