Not long ago I wasn’t doing very well in exams and I was full of disappointment and negative thinking. While on the 36 , I met many new friends, but one in particular 37 . His nickname is Colorful Day and we 38 on the Web. He told me he lost his 39 at age 15, and felt the whole world had closed its door to him.
He was 40 so fast that I couldn’t believe he was blind! But he continued to 41 , “Five years ago, I realized it was time to change my life. I had read about Helen Keller and understood her life and 42 . So I developed a website about her life 43 mine called Three Days to See.”
I visited his website which was well 44 and vividly presented.
I asked, “How did you 45 to build such a website?” he said, “Owing to the new technology, I can use software specially 46 for the blind. 47 I point the cursor(光标), it will just read it out to me. We can do far more things and 48 more information than we could before.”
I then asked, “Didn’t you have great difficulty with it?”
He hesitated and then began his 49 with a smiling face, “Yes, but I have faith in myself to 50 my colorful day, and modern technology gives me this medium and 51 to do it.”
His 52 attitude towards life made me believe that our fate offers not the cup of despair, 53 the chalice (大杯) of opportunity, I returned to my lessons, and this time with a smile on my face and with 54 of a colorful future.
The Internet, which opened to me to 55 different lives and cultures, has a charm you couldn’t find in another wise non-virtual world.

Not long ago, many people believed that babies only wanted food and to be kept warm and dry. Some people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. But doctors in the United States now say babies begin learning on their first day of life.
A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other people.
The researchers say this ability to learn exists in a baby even before birth. They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside their mothers.
Experts say the first three years of a child’s life are the most intensive period of language and speech development. This is the time when the brain is developing. Language and communication skills are believed to develop best in an environment that is rich with sounds and sights. Experts say babies should repeatedly hear the speech and language of other people.
America’s National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children. The ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language.
The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make sounds. These sounds become a kind of nonsense speech over time.
1.When does the author think babies begin to learn? (no more than 9 words, 2 marks)
2.Why do babies smile to please her mother or other caregiver? (no more than 9 words, 2 marks)
3.According to experts, how can babies’ language and communication skills develop? (no more than 8 words, 3 marks)

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.
1.After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______.
A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.
B. the works of art ended in the 1950s
C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed
D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed
2.How many people in the world are left-handed now?
A．Less than one sixth. B．More than a half.
C．About 40%. D．The passage doesn’t tell us.
3.What is the hand for most people used to do?
A．It’s used to find or hold things.
B．It’s used to work with things.
C．It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.
D．It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.
4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
B．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
