         Tom Whittaker, born in England in 1949, is an amazing example of a Can Do person. The young man
    came to the United States in 1975, where he studied for a Master's in Arts. Although studying took up
    much of his time, he traveled throughout the US and Canada climbing many different types of rock walls.
    Thus, he made friends with many people with the same interest.
         However, on Thanksgiving Day in 1979, a car driven by a drunk driver lost control and suddenly
    turned into his lane(车道), striking the head of his vehicle. The injuries to both of his legs and feet resulted
    in the removal of one of his kneecaps(膝盖骨), and the amputation(截去)of his right foot.
          It wasn't easy, but after some time, with great effort and strong will, Tom rebuilt his hope for life. The
    report of his story moved the whole nation of America. Eventually he earned another master's degree and
    founded the Cooperative Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group. This program's success sent Tom
    around the world to spread his message that "it is not the falling down, but the getting back up that matters". He became a professor in Adventure Education at Prescott College in Arizona, where he taught the
    top outdoor leadership program in the nation.
         After 25 years of experience as a mountaineer, on May 27, 1998, Tom achieved his greatest
    accomplishment so far:reaching the peak of Mt. Everest. Tom was actually the first person with a disability to ever climb and stand on the peak of Mt. Everest. He realized that reaching the peak of Mt. Everest
    could do nothing to change his disability, but it could do a lot to change attitudes. Tom Whittaker wanted
    people to realize that disability is as much an attitude as it is a condition.

    1. For what did Tom Whittaker go to the US?

    A. To improve his climbing skills.
    B. To take his master's degree.
    C. To become a professional mountaineer.
    D. To meet other mountaineers in the US.

    2. What led to the accident that caused Tom Whittaker's disability?

    A. That his car was out of control.
    B. That he was driving on a wrong lane.
    C. That a drunk driver ran his car into Tom's.
    D. That he got drunk on Thanksgiving Day.

    3. When did Tom become a mountaineer?

    A. Shortly before he reached the peak of Mt. Everest.
    B. Two years before he went to the US.
    C. Shortly after he arrived in the US.
    D. After he recovered from the car accident.

    4. Which of the following events made Tom first widely noticed by the American public?

    A. Teaching outdoor leadership program at college.
    B. Climbing Mt. Everest in spite of his disability.
    C. Founding the Cooperative Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group.
    D. His determination to fight against his disability.

        Tom: I'm interested in gestures.

        Ellen: Are you? Gestures differ from country to country.

        Tom: Yes. Listening about gestures is a lot of fun.

        Ellen: I've noticed that Japanese women often cover their mouths when they laugh.

        Tom: They think it's impolite to show their teeth.

        Ellen: I once talked to some students from India. They moved their heads up and down when they meant “No”, and from side to side for “Yes”. That looked strange to us.

        Tom: Is that right? I thought nodding meant “Yes”in all parts of the world.

        Ellen: No, not in some parts of India. But those students said their gestures were so natural to them they couldn't change them.

        Tom: This is one of the most popular comics(滑稽剧) in my country. Do people in American comics jump his way when they are surprised?

        Ellen: Yes, they do. Comics always use big gestures, you know. (Ellen shows Tom a picture of a man.)

        Tom: I've often seen this picture. He is shrugging his shoulders(耸肩), isn't he?

        Ellen: Yes, he is. It means I don't care or I give up. How do you gesture with your hand when you mean “Come here” in Japan?

        Tom: We hold out our hand with the palm(手掌) down, and move it up and down.

        Ellen: That looks like “Sit down”, “Be quiet”, or “Get away” to us. When we mean “Come here”, hold out our hands with the palms upward, and move our fingers toward our bodies.

    1．The main idea of this dialogue is ________.

    [　　]

    A．Americans, Japanese and Indians have different languages of gestures

    B．Americans, Japanese and Indians have one and the same language of gestures

    C．American, Japanese have one and the same language of gestures

    D．Indians and Chinese have one and the same language of gestures

    2．Which of the following statements is true?

    [　　]

    A．Americans nod their heads to mean “No”.

    B．Americans shrug their shoulders to show they are interested.

    C．American women cover their mouths when they laugh.

    D．Japanese women often cover their mouths when they laugh.

    3．Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude(看法)?

    [　　]

    A．The language of Indian students' gestures is unlike the American one.

    B．The language of Indian students' gestures is quite like the American one.

    C．The language of Chinese students' gestures is quite like the American one.

    D．The language of Japanese gestures has something to do with that of Chinese gestures.

    4．In some parts of India, nodding means ________

    [　　]

    A．“Yes, I agree.”

    B．“No, I don't agree.”

    C．“Yes, I do.”

    D．“No, I do.”
