　　Long before the white man came to America, the land belonged to the American Indian nations．The nation of the Cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States．After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways．One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was to the white man．He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language．He began by making word pictures．For each word he drew a picture．But that proved impossible－there were just too many words．Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language．Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound．His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn．Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language．By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper．

　　In 1830, the U．S．Congress passed a law．It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands．The Cherokees refused to go．They had lived on their lands for centuries．It belonged to them．Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?．

　　The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out．Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint into the western territory．The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings．The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback．It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes．Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey．Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside．When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000 had died．It was indeed a march of death．

　　Directions：Read this passage，and choose the most suitable heading from the list for the paragraph of the passage．There is one extra heading．

1．________

　　People with intellectual disability form one of the largest single disability groups in a community．Intellectual disability refers to a general slowness to learn and function within society，and the identification of intellectual disability is usually based on an assessment of a person's performance in a variety of tests．An individual's level of performance，as assessed，can change with time and circumstances．With skilled training and opportunity for development，people with intellectual disability have much greater potential for acquiring skills and for participation in community life than previously had been thought possible．

2．________

　　In many western societies，five categories of intellectual disability have traditionally been used in order to indicate the perceived degree of difficulty an individual has with learning．All five may occur in either children，adolescent or adult，and show as mild，moderate，severe，profound or multiple intellectual disability．

3．________

　　For the majority of intellectual disabilities，there is no identifiable cause but there are some causes that are well documented．They include：brain damage at birth due to lack of oxygen-prolonged labor during childbirth；brain damage before birth due to factors such as rubella，drug or diet-related problems；damage after birth due to illnesses such as encephalitis or accident；hereditary defects in the genes； abnormal chromosome count resulting in，for example，Down Syndrome．

4．________

　　Like everyone else，people with an intellectual disability need a rewarding job，a satisfying place to live and a good social life．But they may need extra support to achieve these things．Good support services are based on the principle of normalization-which means enabling people to be part of the community like everyone else．

5．________

　　With the introduction of the intellectually disabled into communities，there is a need to promote awareness of communication．Although many people may have little experience in talking with an intellectually disabled person，the are common guidelines that can simplify the interaction．Firstly，it is useful to remember that people with disabilities have feelings．Speaking in the same friendly manner as you would to anyone else is also recommended．Being prepared to wait a little longer for replies during a conversation with an intellectually disabled person would undoubtedly benefit the exchange．

A．What do people with an intellectual disability need？

B．What is intellectual disability？

L．How do people with an intellectual disability talk？

D．What are the forms of intellectual disability？

　　There is no shortage of writing advice telling you to keep your writing simple－to use simple language．However, why do so many people continue to ignore that good advice?

　　A conversation around the theme of simplicity(简明)gets me thinking about this question．Why are people so fond of words that are hard to read?

　　A study looked into the way word choice changes the judgment we make about someone抯 intelligence．Students were asked to rate the intelligence of writers based on essays that they抎 written, and choose books suitable for graduate study．The results? The simpler the essay, the more likely it was the author would be rated as intelligent, and recommended for going to the graduate school．

　　The author of the study(Daniel Oppenheimer)concludes：

　　"The experts are likely right：write clearly and simply if you can, and you抣l be more likely to be thought of as intelligent．"

　　So why is it so hard to put the writing advice into practice? In the same article Oppenheimer mentions that：

　　86％ of students at Stanford admitted using complicated language in their essays to make their work sound more intelligent．Some of the possible reasons include：

　　●Desire to prove your topic is complicated by using complicated words．

　　●Fear of being regarded as lacking education．

　　●Natural desire to copy the language patterns of others．

　　●Little encouragement to use 'ordinary抴ords．

　　●Lack of time to 'translate抰he complicated words used around you into everyday words．

　　●Longer words keep subjects impersonal(客观的)－reducing potential for personal criticism and attack．

　　●It抯 the way people above you write－so you think it抯 the ladder to success．

　　What about you? Can you see any hidden benefits of using long words? Have you ever found yourself changing a simple word for a longer one to achieve a particular effect?

(1)

Why do many people like to use longer words? a．They think of longer words as a sign of intelligence． b．Lack of instructions on writing skills． c．They think longer words reduce potential for personal criticism． d．Lack of time to transform complicated words into simple ones．
[　　]
A．	acd
B．	abc
C．	bcd

(2)

What can you learn from the text about the study?

B．	It shows that using plain language is more acceptable．
C．	It proves that it is students抎uty to choose books for graduate school．

　　At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．

　　We ended up spending only ＄50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．
