【题目】In the seventh grade, Brittany Blythe dreamed of being a cheerleader. Her school's coaches were less than enthusiastic. "They said, ‘I don't know how you'll be able to do it,”she recalls. “‘You won't be able to do it. ’”

But Brittany, now a junior at Strath Haven High School near Philadelphia, persisted. And when the junior team cheerleaders won a competition last year, she was right there, dancing and cheering with the rest of the team.

Not bad for someone whose legs were amputated(切断)below the knee when she was two years old.

Brittany, 18, was born without shin bones (胫骨)—"just blood and muscle tissue" as she puts it. When she tried to walk, her legs twisted. After the operation, she adapted quickly. “From that day, I basically jumped up and wanted to do everything”she says. Prosthetic legs (假肢)allowed her to move

around upright, but too slowly to keep up with her friends. Brittany's solution take the legs off and walk on her knees—something she still does when safety and comfort permit.

She's rarely been discouraged. Other children teased her through the years, especially in junior high school, but she says the challenge only made her stronger. Now she's trying to convince her coaches to let her remove the prostheses and be a flyer, the cheerleader who's thrown in the air and caught by her teammates.

Brittany doesn't think her problems are any more difficult than the next person's. “My disability was the first thing I had to get through, and that's going to prepare me for the future she says. It's all just a test If someone throws you a ball, what are you going to do?”

1 What was the coaches' first attitude towards Brittany's dream?

A. Supportive.

B. Enthusiastic.

C. Optimistic.

D. Doubtful.

2 What was Brittany's reaction after the operation?

A. She abandoned herself to self-pity.

B. She refused to use the prostheses.

C. She accepted the result and tried to get used to it.

D. She became a flyer.

3 We can learn from the last paragraph that Brittany __________

A. doesn't think she is better than others

B. is not well prepared for the future

C. takes a positive attitude towards life

D. likes the challenge of learning new things

4 What's the best title for the text?

A. A new leg, a new life

B. A new cheerleader, a new record

C. Passing the test

D. Seeking advantages

【题目】A mother from Colorado who doctors said had died while giving birth to her son, has said it is a Christmas miracle that both she and the boy are alive.

Tracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean section(剖腹产手术)on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived. Mrs. Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.

Dr Martin said she did not have a “great explanation" for why Mrs. Hermanstorferheartbeat re-turned. "Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stop-ping," she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.

Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs. Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said“I got a second chance in life.
