About 20 years ago, I was lucky to teach a disabled young woman named Audrey. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also very 21 in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university, she got two 22 , one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such 23 areas of study.
Just before her high school graduation, Audrey 24 me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolour painting of a mother and her baby. A tear 25 from the mother’s eye as she looked 26 at her child. Under the painting, Audrey had 27 these words: “The deep love from Mother, 28 me, touches another.” What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed and 29 in my office.
Years passed with many 30 from one office to another and I 31 the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I 32 a phone call from a former colleague who said she had 33 of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years earlier. When cleaning out a storage room, she had 34 my gift.
I was struck that the 35 gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old, Audrey had a serious 36 . What’s worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She 37 it but was disabled.
To 38 , it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother’s love has helped 39 a talent and how its 40 pushes me ahead.

If you hear the sound of running water the next time you call a co-worker on his or her mobile phone, don’t be surprised. Three-fourths of Americans with mobile phones say they use them in the bathroom, a new study shows.
Approximately the same number of men and women have used the phone in the bathroom, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans by 11mark, an integrated marketing agency, although men seem more attached to IT in the toilet: 30 percent of men versus 20 percent of women agreed with the statement, "I don't go to the bathroom without my mobile phone."
More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call. That's not all, however. What goes on behind the walls of the stalls is anything a mobile phone is capable of. Sixty-seven percent said they have read a text, and 39 percent have surfed the Web. Men work more from the bathroom — 20 percent said they have participated in work-related calls, versus 13 percent of their female colleagues.
As expected, Gen Y respondents are the pacesetters in the "mobile everywhere" movement, with 91 percent using their phone in the bathroom. Still, older generations are not far behind. Eighty percent of Gen X(1961-1981) reported using the phone in the bathroom, as did 65 percent of Baby Boomers and 47 percent of the Silent Generation.
While online, they are doing more than just surfing; 16 percent of Gen Y report they have made an online purchase while in the bathroom. Users of iPhones are particularly likely to browse and buy in the bathroom – 22 percent have made a purchase, versus 10 percent of Americans with mobile phones overall.
"The writing is on the stall," said 11mark principal Nicole Burdette. "This study confirms what we all know: that the last private place is no longer private."
In the process, high-tech hygiene(卫生) is taking a hit, the survey found. While 92 percent of mobile phone users said they wash their hands after using the bathroom, only 14 percent said they wash their phones.
1.59.Which is the best word to replace the underlined word "initiating"?
A. receiving B. experiencing C. ending D. beginning
2.60.According to his words, Nicole Buedette mainly wants to tell us that .
A. no wonder mobile phones are used in the bathroom
B. the bathroom is a private place for people
C. it makes people have no privacy at all
D. more men have used the phone in the bathroom
3.61.What does the last paragraph of the passage imply?
A. Using phones in the bathroom has a bad effect on hygiene
B. Mobile phones should not be allowed to use in the bathroom
C. Most people care about the hygiene after using the bathroom
D. Few people wash their phones after using the bathroom
4.62.The attitude of the author to the use of phones in the bathroom is ______
A. supportive B. disapproval
C. subjective(主观的) D. objective(客观的)
