Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed
题型：不详难度：来源：
Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to _16_ up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was _17_ the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to _18_ all his time lying on his back in bed.
Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he _19_ pass the time by describing to his _20 all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooks a _21_ with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans play on the water _22_ children sail their model boats. Young lovers walk _23_ among flowers of every colour. Grand old trees grace(装扮) the landscape, and a fine _24_ of the city skyline can be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window _25_ all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and _26_ the scene.
Days and weeks passed. On morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died _27_ in his sleep. When the man’s body was _28_, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the _29_. The nurse agreed and after making sure he was _30_, she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself _31_ to take his first look at the _32_ world outside by himself. But to his _33_, he found it faced nothing _34_ a blank wall.
In fact, the man by the window was _35_ and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate.

Tomorrow evening I will be interviewed on stage by a museum official. I will be an interpreter, talking from experience as a disability rights lawyer and activist.
In “special” schools and camps for children with physical and mental disabilities, I grew up knowing we were a category of person that the world did not want. Most of us had a story of some doctor advising our parents to put up away or to let us die. We owed our survival to parents who had irrationally(不理性地) bonded with us. We knew we were lucky and hoped our luck would hold. To increase the chance of surviving, we tended to be charming. We developed thick skins.
By the time I roll onto the stage the next night, I’ve thought a lot about there and here, then and now. When the first question comes, I tell them about my fascination with the wheelchair, and somehow it sounds funny, and laughter fills the room. We talk from the horror of Nazis killing (Nazis once killed the disabled patients as useless) to a funny confession that I, too, tend to stare at disabled people on the street.
What has come over me? In this room, people with disabilities in thrilling variety make me feel at home. Here people, disabled and not, are gathered by choice.
I haven’t forgotten that 2 million people remain in US disability institutions, that some disabled children still cannot attend mainstream schools, that too many of us live in poverty. But I can’t hold onto anger and sorrow for I feel a shared sense of possibility, a drive for a world that will embrace both the fit and the unfit and hold them so dear that the division dies.

I decided to give up my job to become 48 . When I told Dad, he was 49 , but in the end he 50 me.

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind：
Dress to impress．Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says，“Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network，You don"t need to dress like you"re going to the office, but you．should display all ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence，and look put together．”
Logo mania(品牌狂热症)．Wearing the loges of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group，so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at．It"s tempting to load up on loges，especially well-known loges that signify high-end brands．But consider this：college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style．Instead of wearing loges head to toe，“walking advertisement”-style，why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses．Smith points out that leggings，yoga pants，and Sweatpants ale entirely unacceptable in public unless you"re exercising．Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls，they are not an appropriate choice for daywear；As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level．So，get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum．Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters，or Hello Kitty on them．Sure，kittens might be cute，but they"re not doing you any favors in the style department．Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look，and not necessarily in a good way!
小题1:The second paragraph indicates the importance of .| A．impressing professors | | B．getting on well with classmates | | C．creating a professional image | | D．dressing appropriately |
小题2:The author believes that college girls should ．| A．choose a 1ogo that suits their age | | B．try to load up on well-known logos | | C．use logos to show who they are | | D．find their identity by trying different logos |
小题3:The author recommends wearing real pants because ．| A．leggings and baggy shirts are too common | | B．yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable | | C．real pants can present you with appropriate maturity | | D．people like real pants better man the other pants |
小题4:What"s the writer"s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?| A．They make people look lovely． | | B．They are very fashionable these days． | | C．They will show you"re an animal lover． | | D．They are not suitable for college-aged students． |
小题5:In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?| A．Business Week | B．Parents | C．In style． | D．Travel ＆ Leisure． |
