Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had no legs but stumps that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man” Because his arm practically dragged on the ground.

Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him that even stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.

Hank felt himself to go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs.

By this time he was already 26 years old.

Most, if not all of us, can’t go a single day without using technology. Our lives are filled with not only the obvious things, like computers, cell phones, and DVDs, but also with everyday items we now take for granted. Things such as beds, and tables, and even the lowly pencils we tend to ignore fairly often.once, however, those lowly pencils were considered an amazing invention.

In ancient times, scribes(抄写员) didn’t have any pencils. They wrote using an instrument called a stylus. A stylus was a thin metal rod which left a light, but readable mark on papyrus, an early form of paper. Writing technology advanced a huge step in 1564 when graphite (石墨) was discovered in England. At the beginning graphite sticks were wrapped in string. Later on, the graphite was placed into wooden sticks. In 1662 Germany started mass producing pencils, and in 1812 almost two centuries later the US production began.

Learn some interesting facts about pencils that you just might not know.

- You can write underwater with a pencil.

- The major part of European pencils didn’t carry erasers.

- your average pencil will draw a line 35 miles long.

1. A method of writing B. A piece of granite

C. A pile of papyrus D. A slim metal stick

49.One interesting thing about pencils is _______.

1. They write down notes
2. They were considered an amazing invention
3. You can use them underwater
4. They can draw lines

50.Pencil technology moved forward when ______.

1. Scribes started using them
2. Graphite was discovered
3. Mass production started in Germany

1. Modern technology.

3. Lowly pencils.
4. The importance of pencils.

D

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school i have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.

If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience. “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad refection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

52.Teachers are different in their opinions about _____.

1. The difficulties in teaching spelling
2. The role of spelling in general language development
3. The complexities of the basic writing skills
4. The necessity of teaching spelling

53.The underlined expression “play safe”probably means “_______”.

1. To write carefully
2. To do as teachers say
3. To use dictionaries frequently
4. To avoid using words one is not sure of

54.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ______.

1. Students will be able to express their ideas more freely
2. Students will have more confidence in writing
3. Teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
4. Students will learn to be independent of teachers

55.The major point discussed in the passage is ______

1. The importance of developing writing skills
2. The complexities of spelling
3. The correct way of marking compositions
4. The relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

E.How to Choose a College

It’s probably one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your life, so you don’t want to make the wrong one. There are always many ways to decide which college is right for you. 56Here are a few important dos and don’ts for you to remember.

57 Make sure you do a lot of research on any college you are thinking about. Take advantage of any open houses a college offers and try to take a campus(大学校园) tour if you can. Make it a point to see as much of a college as possible. The best time to visit is when students are having a lesson. That way you can get the feel of a typical day.

58If you want to be involved in lots of activities, choose one that has plenty to choose from. Another thing you need to think about is how far from your parents you want to be.59 Also keep in mind that if you don’t feel comfortable with the college you choose, you’d better find something that interests you.

When choosing the college, there are some things you don’t want to influence your decision. 60They may have different needs when it comes to education. Make sure you choose a college because you want to go there and not because your parents want you to. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or request additional information. There are lots of important things you’ll need to know about a college to make the right decision.

A. Take time to think things over.

B. Just choose one that suits your personality.

C. Therefore, choosing a college can be confusing.

D. A name-brand college won’t promise your success.

E. Don’t go to a college just because your friends will.

F. Visit the website of the college you’re interested in, and try to learn as much information as you can.

G. You may be comfortable far away or you may only want to be a couple of hours’ drive from home.
