Hearing the Sweetest Songs

My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby, but I knew I hadn’t lost anything. None of my parts had dropped off. Nothing had changed: I could hear music that was close enough to me. I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room. I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him.

I wasn’t aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing aid when I started living alone. I noticed it ruined my peace of mind: pencils tapping, phones ringing, and refrigerators humming. Then, I began to discover many things I couldn’t do. I couldn’t tell where sounds came from, nor could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms. I oncemissed a job interview because I misheard the address on the phone. For the first time, I had to admit that I had lost something.

Unlike a wheelchair, my disability doesn’t announce itself. When I got jobs, I chose to keep it as a secret. One day a business friend said, “Nicolette, sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong questions. People don’t know you can’t hear, so they think you’re strange, stupid—or just plain rude. It would be better to just tell them.”But I knew if I told, people might see only my disability, and they might forget that I wasalso a writer, a painter, and a good gardener. I felt disabled and helpless.

This bothered me till I met my husband. One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said,“Hear the bird?” “What bird?” I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound. If he hadn’t mentioned it I would never have noticed it. As I listened, slowly I began to hear—or perhaps imagine—a distant song. Did I really hear it? Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me? I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still.

This sharing is what both the disabled and non-disabled want. Every one of us, if we live long enough, will become disabled in some way. Let’s share. Now, just let me see your lips when you speak. And ask what you want to know. These are conversations we all should have, and it’s not that hard to begin.

25. When the author wore the hearing aid, she ________.

A. felt better prepared for the job interviews

B. was able to enjoy different sounds

C. experienced a sense of loss

D. was teased by others

26. She didn’t tell her disability to others because ________.

A.people might focus on her hearing loss

B. she could get the work done as abled

C.people might be curious about it

D. she wanted to do more jobs

27. Why did Nicolette write the passage?

A. To draw people’s attention to the hearing problem.

B. To tell people not to treat the disabled differently.

C. To remember the challenges she faced.

D. To show how much she missed before.

C

When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally---the beauty and the star of the family---and felt happy about her achievements.

But since the baby’s arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt forSally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister “acts as if no one ever had a baby before.”

Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister---and Sally doesn’t like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don’t fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.

In a study of the University of Cincinnati,65 men and women between ages 25 and93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.

Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive---yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can’t wait to tell me when I’ve put on weight. However, she’s a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.

In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arm’s length, but never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?

28. When Joan’s son was born, Sally_______.

A. felt very happyB.feltnotdelighted C. moved away D. admired her a lot

29. What happens to children’s desire to compete with their brothers and sisters?

A. It sometimes will disappear when they grow up.

B. It will never disappear throughout life.

C. It will improve their relationships when they grow up.

D. It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.

30. Why does the author’s sister often tell her when she’s put on weight?

A. Because she wants the author to go on a diet.

B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook.

C. Because she wants to make fun of the author’s weight.

D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.

31. The underlined sentence means that although some brothers and sisters _______ .

A. live near each other, they still have competitions

B. live away from each other, they stop their competitions

C. live together, they often think of ending their competitions

D. live within a big family, they often try to end their competitions

D

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

32. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A. Those who often do sports.

B. Those who often watch television.

C. Those who often have meals at home.

D. Those who often walk to school.

33. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ______.

A. they can’t choose what to eat

B. they are too busy to go out and play

C. their parents often cook meals for them

D. there are too many fast food shops around

34. The word “steering” underlined in the last sentence most probably means ______.

A. forcingB. guidingC. drivingD. moving

35. The main purpose of the text is to ______.

A. tell a storyB. provide factsC. give adviceD. compare opinions

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? 36 After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.

37 Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(声称) as its won. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout.38 If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him.39But he expects an outsider almost all the time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate(配偶) and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.

40 Most of it has to do with attracting males and setting up territories.

A. A bird does the same thing.

B. Maybe you thought that they were just happy.

C. Shouting loudly is just like a bird’s screaming.

D. You can see that birds have a language of their own.

E. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.

F. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason.

G. So, just like human beings, birds sing for almost the same reasons.

Searra, an eight-year-old brain cancer patient, was a “regular” in the Radiation Department. With my office located near the 41,I could hear Searra, also called CC, coming. Several steps behind, CC’s grandmother, also called Mommie, would follow as she tried 42CC.

I had prepared toys and coloring materials for her in my office. When she walked into the 43, it was time to socialize with us and to see what she could color for 44before her treatment.

I was surprised by the love CC had for Mommie. 45I asked her about home life, or how she was feeling, every reply referred to her time 46 with Mommie, the funny stories they 47and how much she loved her. When CC was first 48 with radiation treatment, the therapists (治疗专家) told her they’d give her a quarter each day if she promised to keep her 49 still on the treatment table. So on the last day of the 6-week treatment, the therapists 50 what big toy she was going to buy with all her 51. CC replied, “Oh,I am not going to buy a toy. I’m going to buy something for Mommie 52 all the nice things she does for me.”

CC taught me about what is really important in life. She 53 showed that loving others is the best gift you can give another. Certainly, CC had an excuse to complain or be 54 at the world for a childhood totally 55 from other children’s in her class. I have never heard her 56 about her hairless head, swollen(肿胀的) body or 57 energy level, which keeps her from playing outside.

CC reminds me not to 58 the love people give us for granted and to look beyond the superficiality(表面情况) that is often found in daily life. I am 59 to be more thankful for what I have today and not to complain what is behind me or what lies ahead. CC, just like many other cancer patients, is a true 60 , so let’s make the best of what we have today.

We waited and watched as the people around us were all served their meals, because they came later than us. We were very puzzling and a bit angry.

Dear Sir,

I’m so grateful for your good service during my stay in Tangshan for a tour, but I’m writing to ask a favour to find and send back my pack which I left in your hotel.

I checked in on May. 2 and out on May.6. Setting off in a rush for the station, I left the pack in Room 702. It’s a medium-sized, blue, leather backpack which contains some reference books, a white ipad, a credit card and some cash. All in the pack matter to me, especially the ipad, a precious gift from my father on my 18th birthday. So much did I cherish it that I feel upset for its loss.

If you find it, would you please post it to me? The return address is at the end of the letter.I’ll appreciate it very much if you can give me your earliest reply.

Yours sincerely,

LiHua
