         Adrian's "Amazing Race" started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn't hear a
    thing, not even loud noises.In a special school for the hearingimpaired (听觉受损的),he learned sign
    language and got to mix with other disabled   children.However, the sight of all the disabled children
    communicating with one another upset his mother.She wanted him to lead a normal life.So after speaking
    to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.
          Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school.But the headmaster tried to
    prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn't take care of a special student.His parents
    were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they
    wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything.Adrian made the grade and got
    accepted.It was a big challenge.The pace (节奏)was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and
    really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn'talways easy.But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work
    after school.
          The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off.Adrian graduated with good grades and got into
    a top high school.He also achieved a lot in life outside school.He developed a love for the outdoors and
    went to Nepal to climb mountains.He even entered the World Yacht Race-being the first hearingimpaired Asian to do so.
         But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons
    from his mother. "If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve greatresults," she often said.

    1. How did Adrian communicate with other children in the special school?
    A. By speaking.
    B. By using sign language.
    C. By reading lips.
    D. By making loud noises.

    2. Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school because________.
    A. they wanted him to live a normal life
    B. they wanted to prove the headmaster wrong
    C. he wouldn't mix with other disabled children
    D. he wasn't taken good care of in the special school

    3. How did Adrian finally succeed in his study?
    A. He did a lot of outdoor activities.
    B. He was pushed hard to study every day.
    C. He attended private classes after school.
    D. He worked very hard both in and after class.

         I received pictures of my daughter floating (漂浮) on a lake in California. Right there under the sun
    during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her.
        When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie.
        "But she will get dark," they said.
        "That's what she wants," I told them. "We think darker skin (肤色) is beautiful."
         They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon.
          For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (晒黑) as possible. In China,
    on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round.
         What in the world is going on?
         The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want
    to meet their culture's standard (标准) of beauty.
         In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach,
    where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny
    spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth.
         In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didn't have to work out in the hot
    sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore
    lots of white makeup (妆容). The tradition survives to this day.
        So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard.
        But now I am noticing that a new business - the tanning booth (美黑店) - started up in China. I
    admire those brave enough to define(给…下定义)their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their
    grandmothers would have to say to them about it!
    1. The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because ______. 
    A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit  
    B. the writer's daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun
    C. it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone
    D. with the powerful sunlight the writer's daughter would have got a suntan
    2. According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty?
    A. Women with blond hair.        
    B. Women with a slim figure.
    C. Women with tanned skin.        
    D. Women with pale skin.
    3. In the US a winter tan usually means the person _____.
    A. is hard-working                    
    B. doesn't have to work
    C. has a lot of money and spare time

         It was the old lady's eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn't forgot her mother's birthday,
    even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra
    did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened
    her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
        Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs.
    Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet
    of sweets.
        "I guess you'll get lots and lots of presents, " he said. "I did last week when I was six."
        What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan. Or a table lamp. Or a little
    clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
        She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart
    beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
        "Granny, granny, " Johnnie returned. "I've got your post!"
        He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra's writing.
        "No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?"
        "No, granny."
         Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the
    card was a message: Happy Birthday-Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.
         The six-figure check fell to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady bent to pick it
     up. Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits.

    1. As can be inferred from the passage, _______.
    A. the old lady lived alone in a flat away from her daughter
    B. the friends sent the old lady many lovely presents by post
    C. Myra was stopped by her husband from seeing her mother
    D. the neighbours cared little about the old lady in daily life
    2. The old lady felt _______ when she saw no packet came with her daughter's card.

    B. happy
    C. disappointed

    3. Which of the following might serve as the best title for the passage?
    A. The Present
    B. The Check
    C. The Birthday
    D. The Daughter
    4. The reason why the old lady tore the check into small pieces was that _______.
    A. she was sure her daughter would come, not the check
    B. she didn't notice there were six figures on the check
    C. she didn't think the check was large enough for a present
    D. she would prefer a present with love from her daughter
