阅读理解。     Kids who receive special education are, without doubt, the hardest working children in any school.
When they are having difficulty learning basic literacy and number concepts, when they break rules,
when they need more services, support and adult attention than their peers, then they are struggling the
hardest. In psychology, we are trained to think that if we are feeling angry or confused when sitting with
a patient, then we are probably feeling just what our patient is feeling.The same is true for students with
disabilities. Whatever we feel when we work with them, they are probably feeling as they work with us.
     If you have a disability that affects your education, then you have a brain disorder.Because education,
even in mathematics, is largely verbal (用言辞), most brain disorders responsible for educational disabilities
affect language, and how you process words and ideas in written and oral form. To imagine how much
effort a child with a language disability spends each school day, imagine yourself attending a school today
taught in a language you had a basic understanding of. Imagine though, that while you seem fluent to others,
you have trouble when people talk too fast, use idioms or expressions.
     When adults and classmates blame, or criticize kids who receive special education, they are struggling
with their own confusion.It is difficult to imagine the world as it is lived by someone with an educational
disability. It is difficult to understand how someone who can be so "normal" can have so many problems.
It is so easy to imagine that if they just tried harder...without understanding that just to do the ordinary, kids
with disabilities are making an extraordinary effort. 1. What is the purpose of the author by writing the passage? A. to introduce how hard to be a special education teacher.
B. to think highly of the children with disabilities.
C. to show the disabled have much trouble in understanding.
D. to call on the society to care for the disabled.2. If a disabled kid learns number concepts, he ______. A. won"t work as hard as a normal.
B. will work double as hard as a normal.
C. will be as patient as the normal.
D. will think of his disability first. 3. If a kid has a disability affecting his education, he will ______. A. have a hard time using the language.
B. be too foolish to learn maths.
C. not understand what others are saying.
D. have a lot of trouble in remembering words. 4. Before you intend to blame a kid receiving special education, _______. A. you should try to understand what he is saying.
B. you should imagine the world he lives in.
C. you should imagine yourself in his shoes.
D. you should think of the education he has received.

阅读理解。     Once in a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home athers. I made the point
that one reason why we"re seeing more stay-at-homw dads may be hat it"s no longer definite that a man
makes more money than his wife. Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which
parent will stay home.
     At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit,
"It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it"s a code for"My
wife, or any woman is the better parent."
     I was a stay-at-home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. It implied that our family"s choice
could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife.
     I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better"
parent if she spent more time with Jack. She would be able to read him wetter and calm him more quickly.
But as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
     Because of the increased time I spent with Jack. I soon knew him well, understood that he needed and
could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, he experience helped me unlock one of
the world"s great secrets; Women are good at booking after children because they do it. It is not because of
any innate (先天的) female talent. It is because they put in the time and attention required to become good at
the job.
     Woman obviously get a biological head starting from giving birth and nursing, but ever the long term
experience is more important. When I got the experience myself. I was people are able to look after them as
well besides their moms. 1. The first paragraph implies _____. A. more and more men like staying at home

阅读理解。     "If you run for more than five minutes at any time, you might need a pair of running shoes." Advises
Stephen Pribut, a US sports expert. Running shoes are highly technical footwear. The provide stability
(牢固) while bearing up to three times the wearer"s body weight. But it"s not easy to find the right
pair. Finding the right running shoes is something of an art, or a science and a feel.
     The science part begins with the shape of the arch (弓) of your foot, which anyone can find out at
home with this quick experiment: Put your foot in water and place it on a piece of brown paper. If you
see a"C" shape on the paper when you remove your foot, you have a rare high arch. If the shape looks more
like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? That"s a normal arch.
     Conveniently for shoppers, shoe companies nowadays divide their shoes in three categories: neutral
( for high arches), stability ( for normal or low arches) and motion control (for flat arches). So you"ll
know which type suits you.
     At this point, most people would just grab an appealing shoe and try it on, But professionals would
do a few quality-control tests. First, you bend the shoe toe to heel to see where it bends. If it"s not
at the forefoot---where the foot actually be bends, be afraid. Then you grip both ends and twist in
opposite directions. If you can twist it like a tower, it means there"s zero support. Finally, you
squeeze (挤) he heel in both directions. A stable heel won"t cave in.
     Now you need to check the mold (模子) that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether its wide or narrow
in the mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is.
     It"s wise to make the shoe purchase in the late afternoon, to allow for any swelling (肿胀) that your
feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choices. The rule is that you need a finger"s width
from your longest toe (whether that"s your big one or not) to the end of the shoe. 1. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Advantages of wearing running shoes fitting you.
B. Ways to get to know about the shape of the arch of your foot.
C. Advice on how to choose the right pair of running shoes.
D. Best time to buy a pair of running shoes. 2. If the arch of your foot look like a "C" shape, you have ______. A. a normal arch
B. a high arch
C. a flat arch
D. a low arch 3. The underlined phrase "cave in" most probably means ______. A. bend
B. stretch
C. shake
D. crash 4. Why is the late afternoon the ideal time to go shopping for shoes? A. We are likely to be more patient in the afternoon.
B. Feet usually become larger late in the day.
C. The toes become longer late in the day.
D. The arch of our feet will be in best shape in the afternoon.

阅读理解。     Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the website you"ve visited.
Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phones bills to find
out your shopping or calling habits.
     In fact, it"s likely some of theses things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without
your permission? It might be a spouse (配偶), a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a
criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen--- the 21st century
equivalent (同等物) of being caught without wearing anything.
     Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it"s important to reveal (透露) yourself to friends, family
and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries remain. The digital breed crumbs (面包屑) you
leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct (重现) who you are, where you are and what you
like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or nor, increasingly we live in
a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
     The key question is: Does that matter?
     For many Americans, the answer obviously is "no."
     When opinion surveys ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A
survey found an overwhelming pessimism (悲观) about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying
that they feel their privacy is " slipping away, and that bothers me."
     But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviours in an
effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount (折扣) at tollbooths to avoid using the
EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarkets loyalty cards.
Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give personal
information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠卷).
     But privacy does matter--- at least sometimes. It is like health. When you have it, you don"t notice it. Only
when it"s gone do you wish you"d done more to protect it. 1. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? A. Friends should open their hearts to each other."
B. There should be a distance even between friends.
C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D. There should be fewer arguments between friends. 2. Why does the author say " We live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret?" A. Modern society has finally developed in to an open society.
B. People leave traces (踪迹) around when using modern technology.
C. There are always people who are curious about others" affairs.
D. Many search engines profit by revealing people"s identities (身份). 3. What do most Americans do to protect privacy? A. They change behaviours that might reveal their identity.
B. The use various loyalty cards for business transaction(处理).
C. They rely more and more on electronic devices.
D. The talk a lot but hardly do anything about it. 4. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that _______. A. people will make every efforts to keep it.
B. its importance is hardly understood.
C. it is something that can easily be lost.
D. people don"t value it until they lose it.
