My six-year-old granddaughter, Caitlyn, and I stopped at a Tim Horton’s shop for a blueberry cake. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.
This young man had no hair on sides of his head with a set of blue spiked（竖起的）hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔) was pierced （扎、穿）, and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in his ear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.
Caitlyn, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager, I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.
I was wrong.
My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His response was a polite “Thank you very much”.
On our way to the car, I praised Caitlyn for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance, but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother’s talk about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was in order, I wanted to be ready.
As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.
The only thing Caitlyn noticed about the teenager was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time to open the door. ”
I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercing and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.
In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.
小题1:What did the author think of the young man? | A．Polite. | B．Uncommon. | C．Frightening. | D．Funny. |
小题2: Caitlyn helped the young man because______ . | A．she was scared | B．she didn’t notice his look | | C．she wanted to avoid him | D．it would be difficult for him to open the door |
小题3: The underlined sentence suggests that_______ . | A．the author was ashamed of herself | | B．the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedom | | C．a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughter | | D．people should have more freedom to express themselves |
小题4: The author intends to tell us that_______ . | A．we shouldn’t judge a person by his look | | B．we should allow people more freedom to dress differently | | C．we should be more helpful and tolerant(宽容的)to people | | D．we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life |

June 27, 2010, is the 130th anniversary of the birth of Helen Keller, and each year the week in which her birthday falls is recognized as Deaf-Blind Awareness Week (海伦凯勒周). In honor of Helen Keller—and other members of the deaf-blind community, this week is devoted to the deaf-blind.
Every year the last week of June is devoted to one thing – recognition of the deaf-blind people in our midst. While the purpose of Deaf-Blind Awareness Week is to show respect for Helen Keller, the deaf-blind woman who was born that week, the week focuses on increasing public awareness and understanding of deaf-blindness.
According to the Helen Keller National Center (HKNC), about 70,000 people have hearing and vision loss. More than ten years ago, Deaf-Blind Awareness
Week became an event officially recognized by the Federal government.
 The story of Helen Keller is well known. Born on June 27, 1880, the healthy baby was developing normally. But at the age of 19 months, an illness left her deaf and blind. When Helen was six, her equally famous teacher, Anne Sullivan, was able to teach her to communicate. Helen Keller went on to do well in all aspects of her life: graduating from college with honors and writing, lecturing, and inspiring people worldwide.
小题1: Which of the following is NOT the purpose of Deaf-Blind Awareness Week according to the passage?| A．To show respect for Helen Keller’s teacher, Anne Sullivan. | | B．To show respect for Helen Keller. | | C．To increase public awareness of deaf-blindness. | | D．To increase public understanding of deaf-blindness. |

In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accid ent on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again.
"We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It"s foolish to chase wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.
Washington"s wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband"s enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping it on his wife"s arm, he slowly developed a code to communicate with her. Then he used this method to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife"s arm, until the bridge was finally completed.
Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man"s spirit and hi s determination not to be defeated by circumstances.
小题1:_ What did most people think about Roebling"s idea to build the bridge?| A．It would never become a reality. | B．Washington was not experienced enough. | | C．It would take a lot of time. | D．Finding the money would be impossible. |
小题2:_The underlined word `daunted" (para. 6) is closest in meaning to "______".| A．unpleasant | B．scared | C．amazed | D．determined |
小题3:_ Which of the following shows the correct order of the events that happened in the story?
a. Roebling convinced his son.
b. Washington found a new way to communicate.
c. They hired the crew.
d. The bridge was completed.
e. Roebling wanted to build a bridge.
f. There was a tragic accident.A．e, a, c, f, d, b | B．e, a, f, b, c, d | C．e, f, a, b, c, d | D．e, a, c, f, b, d |
小题4:_ What can we learn about Washington"s wife?| A．She knew sign language very well. | | B．She was devoted to her husband. | | C．She developed a code to communicate with her husband. | | D．She helped her husband design the plan. |
小题5:_ What does the story tell us?| A．Success will come with the passing of time. | B．Struggle s are exactly what we need in our lives. | | C．Even the most distant dream can be realised with a never-say-die attitude. | | D．The people who make a difference in our life should be remembered forever. |
