阅读理解。     A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a
￡100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, "Who would like to have this ￡100 bill?" The
students began to put up their hands at once.
     Then he said, "I am going to give this bill to one of you, but first, let me do this." He then made this
bill into a ball. Then he said, "Who wants it?" Hands went into the air.
     "Well," he said, "What if I do this?" and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the
dirty, crumpled bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Hands went back into the air.
    "My friends," he said, "You"ve learned a valued lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you
still wanted it because it didn"t go down in value. It was still worth ￡100.

things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened
to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those who love you. Your value doesn"t

阅读理解。     A person who is deaf when he is born is usually dumb (哑的) as well. There may be nothing wrong
with his mouth and tongue, but he cannot speak. This is because he cannot hear people, so he has
nothing to imitate (模仿). He may try to make sounds himself, but cannot hear his own voice. However,
even though he finds it difficult to speak and cannot hear, he can learn to read. Nowadays such persons
can also be taught to speak because we have modern methods and equipment, but we did not have these
when Helen Keller was born.
     Even with modern methods and equipment, however, it is not easy for deaf children to learn to speak,
though most of them succeed. When a child is deaf and blind as well, it becomes much more difficult,
though it is possible. Helen Keller was born in 1880. She became very ill at the age of nineteen months.
Medical knowledge was not as great then as it is now. She did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As
a result, she became dumb as well. Her parents did their best to teach her, but she couldn"t speak by the
age of six.
     Then, in 1887, a teacher, Miss Sullivan, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind.
She had been partly cured. Though she could not see very well, she was not blind. Helen was a difficult
pupil at first, but in a month Helen had learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself.
     At last in spite of her great difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was
deaf and blind. She even went to college and had full education. She wrote many books, and though other
people have written books about her, her own books are the ones that best explain how it feels to be deaf,
dumb and blind. Her best book is The Story of My Life. Perhaps you have read it. Though it was written
in 1902, it is still a very interesting book. Even if you have not read it, you may have heard of Helen Keller. 1. A person who is deaf at birth is also dumb because ______. A. there"s something wrong with his mouth and tongue
B. he cannot hear other people and he has nothing to imitate
C. he doesn"t like to speak
D. he cannot hear his own voice 2. Deaf and dumb children can be taught to speak nowadays because _____. A. we have modern methods and equipment
B. these children are eager to learn to speak
C. they can hear something
D. they have grown up 3. When Helen was nineteen months old, _____.A. she died of illness
B. she was healthy
C. she was very ill
D. she began to learn to speak 4. How long did it take Keller to understand signs? A. A few days.
B. Several years.
C. A moment.
D. A month.

     Everybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life. This time, which
took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened.
     On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister"s dress
and picked out a beautiful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years
ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion." he said. I guess this was the occasion: it
was the funeral(葬礼) of my sister, after her unexpected death.
     He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed
the drawer and turned to me, "Don"t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you"re alive is a
special occasion." I"m thinking about his words, and they"ve changed the way I live my life.
     I"m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever
possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. "Someday" and "one of these days" are
losing their importance on my vocabulary. If it"s worth seeing or hearing or doing I want to see and hear
and do it now.
     Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold hack or save anything that would
add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every
minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.

1. Why did Jan buy the beautiful skirt but didn"t wear it?

A. She waited for a special occasion to wear it on.
B. She wanted to keep it for someone else.
C. She saved it till she grew up.
D. She would give it to herself as a gift some day.

2. What does the underlined word"cherish" mean?

A. Treasure.
B. Waste.
C. Own.
D. Save.

3. From his experience, the author learns that _____.

A. everybody can have a happy life through efforts
B. every day in our lives is worth cherishing
C. enjoying ourselves is the most important thing in our lives
D. everybody will have some things left to do after his death

4. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. What Is the Meaningful Life Like?
B. My Sister Jan
C. Every Day Is a Gift
D. The Most Important Time in Your Life
