When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie,“Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.

Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.

Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.

She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that“next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS.“I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”

Liz wants moviegoers (who often see films) to come away with the idea that changing your life is“as simple as making a decision”.

In which order did the following things happen to Liz?

A.Her mother died of AIDS.                           B.She worked at a petrol station.

C.She got admitted into Harvard.                    D.The movie about her life was put on.

e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.  

A.b, a, e, c, d     B.a, b, c, e, d      C.e, d, b, a, c        D.b, e, a, d, c

The main idea of the passage is ________.

A.how Liz managed to enter Harvard University

B.what a hard time Liz had in her childhood

C.why Liz loved her parents so much

D.how Liz struggled to change her life

What actually made her go towards her goal?

A.Envy and competition.                               B.Willpower and determination.

C.Decisions and understanding.                          D.Love and respect for her parents.

When she wrote“What drove me to live on...I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that ________.

A.she had little experience of social life

B.she could hardly understand the society

C.she would do something for her own life

D.she needed to travel more around the world

    Under normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs of symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.

The means of sending communications are too numberous and varied for systematic classification, therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communicatio isachievedbyourenses.Sight,hearing,andtouch play the most important roles. Smell and taste paly very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols        

    Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry (模仿). Although both frequently ac- company speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb per- sons. Another means of communication visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags and flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of handstriking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.

The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common: they last only a short time and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.

64. The author explains he will deal with reception of communication first because   

A. communication actually takes place when the message is received

  B. there are more means of receiving than of sending cmmunication

C.reception of communications involves use of the senses

D.it is difficult to organize by type the means of sending communication

65. Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through a system of

  A. gesturing       B. handshaking       C. backslapping       D. handstriking

66. A form of visual communication often used with a type of auditory communicati      

A. gesturing     B. handshaking        C. backslapping       D. handstriking

67. The author specifically mentions that speech is

    A. often used when communication by touch

    B. necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture

    C. the only highly developed system of communication

D.the most developed form of communication based on hearing

68.Which of the following statements about communication by touch is true?

    A. Touch is less important than taste as a means of communication.

    B. There is no well-developed system of communication based on touch.

    C. It is possible to communicate intelligently by touch alone.

    D. Touch must accompany visual communication.
