I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, can not get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.

Then I fainted (晕倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid, I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction. Feeling color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.

I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.

Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. "Stupid kids… they have perfectly good legs. Why can't they watch where they are going?" I thought. People stared down at me, with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.

"I'm just like you!" I wanted to scream. "The only difference is you've got legs. and I have wheels. "

People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood; I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.

第二节:短文改错

A few months after return to the U. S. from Germany, I took part a college course in French. Since I have learned   to say German well in Germany, I thought it might be  interested to begin studying another language. At the first class, the teacher asked us to do a pronunciation  exercise, in it he would say a word or two in French, and each student would do their best to copy. When  my turn came, he kept having me to say more words, and  I  finally asked him why. "I find  great fun, "he explained . "In 25 years of teaching at school, it's the first time that I have heard a American speak French with a German accent(口音) ."

Last year, on report card day, my son and a bunch of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald’s. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A’s, and Laurie got a cellphone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and she’s only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $ 10 for each A.”

I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cellphone, and the portable DVD player?

I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes-no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!

I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.

“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that’s about it.”

Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.

1．The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means _____________.

       A．taking care of the children would influence my work

       B．I would spend more money on my children’s homework

       C．reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lot

       D．more rewards would be needed as the children grew up

2．We can tell from the passage that the author’s son was in ___________.

       A．primary school B．junior middle school   C．high school        D．university

3．It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

       A．if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for granted

       B．if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harder

       C．children would not ask for rewards when they enter high school

       D．children would not ask for rewards when they enter university

4．The example of the author’s neighbor shows that ____________.

       A．pizza is the best way to motivate children

       B．reward is not the only way to motivate children

       C．the author’s neighbor was very poor

       D．the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward

5．What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades?

       A．Favorable B．Ambiguous      C．Disagreeable    D．Unknowable

Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip( 流言蜚

语）as soon as they hear it. They will typically tell the secret to at least one other person in 47 hours. Depending on who the gossip is about, their boyfriend, husband, best friend or mother is most likely to be the recipients of the information.

    The study of 3000 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret. --- No matter how personal or secret the news was. It was also found that alcohol usually gives us a helping hand to let out secrets --- with more than half admitting a glass or two of wine could get them to dish the dirt.

Michael Cox, UK Director of Wines of Chile, said, “It’s official women who can’t keep secrets. We are really eager to find out with this survey how many secrets people are told. What we don’t count on is how quickly these are passed on by those we trust. No matter how precious the piece of information is, it often comes out within 48 hours.”

Three quarters say they are able to keep quiet about a secret, and 83 percent consider themselves 100 percent reliable within each group of friends. Yet, four in ten admit gossiping to a close friend from another friendship group. Nearly half (45 percent) disclose secrets just for the weight to be lifted from their shoulders. More than four in ten think it is acceptable to share a friend’s secret with someone who doesn’t know him or her.

Private issues, true cost of purchases and affairs emerged top of the secret-keeping list, with girls most likely to share a secret chatting face-to-face, on the phone or via a text message. Fortunately, over a quarter (27 percent) said they forgot what they were told the following day.
