At the age of 13,I visited a doctor with my parents. As I sat in the examining chair,the doctor looked into my  31 .“She did inherit (继承) it,”he said with coldness.“You need to be prepared. There is no  32  for this disease.”
My father  33 a gene which,in most cases,results in blindness. I’d inherited the gene. He gradually  34  his eyesight and so did I. At last we were both  35  blind—he was fifty-seven years old, 36  I was only twenty-eight.
My world  37  as the darkness fell, 38  the dreams my husband and I had for us and for our three little boys. But  39  I tried to find some hope and  40 ,my eyes were opened to a new realization.
My father had  41  me not just failing eyesight,but an example of  42  in the face of hardships as well. We were all living in Bolivia in 1964 when he decided to  43  the family to America. He worked tirelessly to  44 the right of living in the US.
Alone in the States,he  45  his helplessness and lack of fluency in English. He managed to rent a small apartment,and nine months later,sent airline tickets for my mom,my brother and me.
Decades later, 46 an American citizen,I look back at what he"d shown me. He set an example proving that determination is important to success. His  47  taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness.
I did the same as I stepped into a  48  world. I fulfilled (完成) my own  49  as a wife,mom,Sunday school teacher and Spanish interpreter. What I inherited from my father helped me to 50  my life in a whole new light.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second  year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games  in Berlin the next year,  and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the AfricanAmerican winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin,  he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,  either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories  made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,  motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time,  however,  his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."
小题1:
 Owens got his other name "Jesse" when.
A. he went to Ohio State University    
B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took "J. C."for "Jesse"
D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
小题2:
 In the Big Ten meet,Owens
A.hurt himself in the backB.succeeded in setting many records
C.tried every sports event but failedD.had to give up some events
小题3:
 We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because.
A.he was not of the right race
B.he was the son of a poor farmer
C.he didnˊt shake hands with Hitler
D.he didnˊt talk to the US president on the phone
小题4:

A.have been changed for money to help him live on
B.have made him famous in the US
C.have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D.have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs

When 7-year-old Warren Buffet said “ I will be the richest man one day”, his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money, selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. He had already earned $ 9,000 ( equal to $ 90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school and became a millionaire at 32.
And this month the 77-year- old, who earned his fortune by making a lot of great investment in the stock market, made his childhood dream come true. With a fortune of $ 62billion, Buffet has risen to be the world’s richest man according to Forbes Magazine.
Born in 1930, Buffet, the only son of a stockbroker, started on achieving his billion-dollar dream at an early age and was always ready to think outside the box to develop his business. At 8 he went to golf courses collecting and selling used balls.
At 11 when he sold soda pop door to door with a friend, the pair collected lids on the streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school, Buffet delivered two rival (竞争对手的)papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffet bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collect rent.
Young Buffet stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $ 5. The experience taught him one of the virtues (品质) in investing: patience.
After graduating from university, Buffet started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-cola, Buffet has become rich.
“Learning is important to Buffet’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning, from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he finally over achieved his aptitude ( 才能) ,” said Charlie Munger, his long-time business partner.
小题1:Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the selection?
A.What is Buffet’s approach to investing.
B.How do other people view Buffet.
C.How has Buffet handled hardships in his life.
D.How did Buffet make a fortune and realize his dream.

A.had a good sense of business
B.was a good paper boy
C.was hard to deal with business
D.knew anything but how to make money
小题3:. What did Buffet learn from his early experience of investing in stock market?
A.You never stop learning.
B.Be patient in business.
C.Only buy stocks of solid companies that are undervalued and inexpensive.
D.Stick to buying stocks in companies such as American Express and Coca-cola.
