When people ask me what Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症) is, I tell them it’s an extra chromosome(染色体). A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things.
Even though I have Down Syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, and I like the one who I’ll marry. And I get along with my sisters---except when they take CDs without asking! I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.
Some of my classes are with typical kids, and 
some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aid who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. That’s exactly what happened this year!
It’s true that I don’t learn some things as fast as other people do. But that won’t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and by myself I can do almost anything.
I can’t change the fact that I have Down Syndrome, but one thing I would change is what people think of me. I’d tell them, “Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. The most important---just be my friend.”
1.A person with Down Syndrome ____________according to the passage.
A. can learn things almost as fast as normal people do
B. has one more chromosome than normal people
C. is hard to get along with
D. is easy to get along with
2.The writer tries to picture himself as a __________teenager.
A. normal B. perfect C. lovely D. special
3.The writer feels ________about his life.
A. confused B. hopeful C. unhappy D. curious
4.What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To prove people with Down Syndrome are a lot like healthy ones
B. To show the writer’s honesty and optimism
C. To change people’s attitude towards people with Down Syndrome
D. To describe the life of a student with learning disabilities

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。
If you think about your circle of friends and family members, you can certainly pick out one or more people who are not good listeners. 1. If you’re fortunate, that person is a good friend, a loved one or a teacher.
All too often, we associate the benefits of good listening skills with achieving very specific outcomes, like following the boss’s orders (aimed at getting a job promotion).
2. We think of them as something basic, which we mastered in our formal schooling, along with dictation and obeying instructions, etc. This is a shame. We should know listening skills are the focus of lifetime learning and development, related to our communication skills.
3. All of these occur because two people or groups don’t listen to each other. We don’t analyze the root problem, or work on improvement steps.
We still tend to treat listening skills the way we treat learning to walk: we think that once we’ve acquired them, we’ve got them. We are ready to move on to the next thing. Wrong. 4.
Poor listening skills often damage effective dialogue between people. 5. If we were able to reduce misunderstandings in our conversations by 20-30%, there would be benefits in efficiency and the elimination (消除) of tiresome repetition.
A. However, think about the upside potential.
B. We’re surrounded by this kind of outcome.
C. We tend to undervalue the importance of our listening skills.
D. Think about the number of failures, misunderstandings and arguments.
E. Equally you can think of someone you know who is a very good listener.
F. The challenge of listening is determining when the speaker wants a response or advice.
G. The problem is that people and language are far more complex than the roads we travel on.

My daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I quitted my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.
A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”
Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved them because of all the good she did in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.
What she said is true. Now my daughter Alisa continues to teach groups of girls in trouble in our community how to look within themselves for the positive and how to be their own person.
Everything taken into consideration, we decided to meet the mother and the boy at a local bike shop. After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take her entire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.
We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and ＄100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.
My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how incredibly honored we feel to be on the other end. What an incredible young man to have such a kind idea.
1.What did the author once do according to the passage?
A. She was a ticket seller.
B. She was a school teacher.

D. She was a social worker.
2.How did the boy get to know the author’s daughter?
A. They met when buying tickets to a baseball game.
B. They got in touch via the Internet.
C. They became familiar when talking face to face.
D. They went to the same school and met each other.
3.Why did the boy want to offer free tickets to Alisa?
A. Because Alisa is a disabled girl.
B. Because he has a lot money to share.
C. Because Alisa often helps those in trouble.
D. Because he has a similar situation with Alisa.
4.Which of the following best describes the passage?
