8.As we all know,it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》).He wrote it in two weeks,and after a few changes,it was accepted by the Congress (国会).As a result,he became famous.
Born in Virginia,Thomas Jefferson,a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later,was much interested in politics.
Jefferson was elected the Governor of Virginia in 1779,and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784.Sixteen years later,at the age of 57,he was elected president after Washington and Adams.
Far from a handsome man,he was tall with long arms and big hands.Jefferson,who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker,was generally good-natured.
Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom in America.As a president,he protected the right of free speech.Interestingly enough,in his eight years as president,Jefferson never vetoed (否决) a bill which the Congress had passed.He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.

18.It was reported that a 95-year-old Grandma was refused to be supported by her eight children and was forced to take her own children to court.
       Treating the old well is a traditional virtue in China.For those who don't,it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent:
Dear son,
       The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health,have patience and try to understand me.
        If  I get dirty when eating,if I can not dress,please have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.If,when I speak to yo u,I repeat the same things thousand and one times,do not interrupt me,listen to me.When you were small,I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep.When I do not want to have a shower,neither shame me nor scold me.Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented in order that you didn't want to bathe.When you see my knowing little about new technologies,give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄).I taught you how to do so many things:to eat food,to dress well,to confront life…When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation,let me have the necessary time to remember,and if I cannot do it,do not become nervous,as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.
       If ever I do not want to eat,do not force me.I know well when I need to and when not.When my tired legs do not allow me to walk,give me your hand,the same way I did when you gave your first step.And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any m ore----that I want to rest forever,do not get angry.Someday you will understand.
       Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.Some day you will discover that,despite my mistakes,I always wanted the best thing for you and I tried to prepare the way for you.Please be next to me,try to understand me and help me as I did it when you started living.I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
   I love you,son.

19.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can."And everyone understood.Instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.More often it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

41.The author has discovered that people will feel happy whenA.
A.they offer their help           
B.they receive others'help
C.they feel others'kindness      
D.they show their weakness
42.The author feels sad sometimes becauseD.
A.he has a soft heart               
B.he relies much on others
C.some people pretend to be kind    
D.some people fail to see the kindness in others
43.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?B
A.They speed up to pass.
B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help.
D.They put on their flashlights too.
44.In this passage,the author advises us toC.
A.handle problems by ourselves     
B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness             
D.show our bravery
45.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?B
A.A Wheelchair Experience.
B.Weakness and Kindness.
C.Weakness and Strength           
D.A Driving Experience.

2.An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease,a form of severe anaemia.He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies,including his own daughter,Tracey,who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr.Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18years old and has now racked up a total of 984donations.When he started donating,his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the"man with the golden arm"or the"man in  two million".He said:"I've never thought about stopping.Never."He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13litres of blood."I was in hospital for three months,"he said."The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18."
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood.At the time,thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease.Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition.The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood.It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D.After his blood type was discovered,Mr.Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine."They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,"he said."I wasn't scared.I was glad to help.I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away."
Mr.Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood.It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women.It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2million babies so far.Mr.Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.
