I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man     40   in front of it. "I"m Steve", he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. "I can"t talk with you. I"m     41   ", he said. He was chatting online with somebody--probably someone he didn"t know--and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game--a war game. I was surprised. He was chatting online and,     42   , he was playing a computer game—a war game. I was     43   .
Why didn"t Steve want to talk with me? I tried     44    to speak to that computer geek (怪人),     45   not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction(反应). I was     46   . I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, "    47   !"
I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me. I     ___48   , and saw nobody showed any interest.
    49   , I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people.

Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.
The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.
The most well-known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.
Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.
Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
小题1:What do we know about Darwin’s visit to the islands?
A.He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands.
B.He completed his famous book on the islands.
C.He was touched by the geography of the islands.
D.He studied different creatures on the islands.
小题2:Which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”?
A.People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
B.Local government forbids killing wildlife.
C.Animals on the islands feed on grass.
D.Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
小题3:Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of        .
A.a closer view of animalsB.Darwin’s inspiring trip
C.The beautiful sea viewsD.various daring activities
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures
B.A Unique Attraction for wildlife Lovers
C.Charles Darwin as a symbol of Galapagos
D.A successful Example of wildlife protection

Parents’ blessing will play a great part in the growth of their children. My father wrote me a valuable letter before his death, one part of which always  36 . “I know you will do  37 great that will set you among the very best one day in the future.”
Since I first read his  38  at 12, they have lived in my heart.  39 ,I knew that my dad’s believing in me gave me permission to believe in  40  . “You will do something great.” He didn’t know  41  that would mean, but whenever I felt 42  of myself, I remember my father’s words, and  43  he were here, so I could ask, “Is this what you were  44 about, Dad?”
Many years have passed, and I believe that my father  45 have been proud when I  46 from basic training and became a rescue swimmer. Lately, I’ve come to realize he’d want me to move 47 to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in someone else.
Yes, it’s time to all of us to  48  writing our own letters to our children. They look to us with the same  49  . “Is this it, Daddy? Am I doing fine?” It’s why every child growing up says, “Watch me!” Our children don’t  50   because they are not afraid to fail. They are only afraid of failing  51___.
Remember to give your children  52   to succeed. If you don’t have children, then write a letter to someone who 53 you. They are waiting for you to believe in them. Trust me, love will be 54  real and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “  55  ! You will do something great.” Not having that blessing from someone they love may be the only thing holding them back.

One of my most unforgettable experiences is the day I finished my tough rowing and keep myself free of loneliness.
As the youngest female ever to row alone across the Atlantic Ocean, I was often asked the same question: How did you, a only 20-year old youngster row a 18-foot boat for 70 days through those strong winds and violent waves and survive?
Frankly speaking, for me, the physical challenge was not the greatest one. Before I made my mind to row across the Atlantic, I had already cycled 3,300 miles, run all by myself across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the hardest part would be mental: How would I cope with the terrible loneliness and the boredom on the vast sea for such a long time?
I set out on January 1 and my first object was to swim past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days. I made it on January 20, a gray and cloudy day. I had thought to do something to celebrate my first goal such as treating myself to a chocolate bar or something else. But I didn’t. I was suffering from unbearable boredom and loneliness of the long sea journey. I hadn’t seen any landing at least more than two weeks. It seemed to feel the same every day. Eating, rowing, sleeping, staring at the sky, watching the ocean.
Then that day came! It was around dusk, I noticed something move on the horizon. Yes, some dolphins! They approached me and circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so blessed. They had arrived to accompany me and helped to celebrate, just when I needed them so badly! For the next 15 minutes, I did row at full speed with all my strength with those lovely dolphins around. By the time they were to leave me and we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely.
After 70 days and five hours at sea, I finally reached my final destination. I was proud that I made it, all 2,817 miles, which helped to raise $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, an organization for funding drinking water. I’ve been told some athletes struggled to get through just by imagining the end during the whole process. But for me, what makes miracle is to focus your mind on the moment, where you experience the personal growth—those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, I had to admit those dolphins really freed myself from terrible loneliness.
小题1:Which of the following belongs to part of preparation for the row?
A.Answering the same question raised by people
B.Swimming the 325-mile length of the river
C.Running 3,300 miles cross-country
D.Biking across the Mojave Desert
小题2:The underlined part means ___________.
A.I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal
B.I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy
C.It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter
D.It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar
小题3:What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?
A.The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.
B.The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destination
C.The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness
D.Imagination was a useful way to help me get through
小题4:Which can be the best title of the passage?
A.The only challenge for a 20-year old
B.Tips on handling loneliness at sea.
C.How to row alone across the Atlantic
D.The day I stopped being lonely

Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories. Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions mean to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was impossible.
On the day of Edison"s funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen"s fingertips.
小题1:This selection says that Thomas Edison ________.
A.was the only important American inventor

小题2:People decided to honor Edison when ________.
A.he made the first electric light
B.electric power was 100 years
C.the country realized electricity"s importance
D.he died in 1931
小题3:The suggested plan was to ________.
A.turn off the lights in factories and schools
B.observe a few minutes of total silence
C.dim all electric lights
D.shut off all electricity for a short time

Last Friday my brother and I were driving home and had a fun conversation. So absorbed in our talk, my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a  31 , and we had no way to turn  32 . __33 my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was greatly  34 by his mistake and the needless   35  of $4.

My brother gave him a wrench(扳手), and then helped him  40 the flat. The young man said that this had been a  41 week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car  42 , and now this tire was flat on his way home from work.

After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 to give us. “No,” my brother said. “We were never  45 to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong turn. But now we know  46  we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into a(n)  47 to serve.”
What I loved most was  48 my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his mistake into 49 energy to help others even in a negative situation, which could only come from a calm mind and an open  50 .
