“You'll be blind by the time you're twenty-five." a doctor at Children's Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high." It consumed me. No mater where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was 2l years old, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after I was 25, I had a massive hemorrhage（大出血）in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate, I enrolled in（注册）a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired（视力受损）. I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program as a turning point.
“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind." my instructor told me. "You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features." It's amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. "By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and PowerPoint." my instructor added.
For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.
4. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. The right opportunity. B. Losing my sight in the future.
C. Consuming too much sugar. D. The children's hospital.
5. What happened when the author was 25 years old
A. He gave up painting. B. He went blind badly.
C. He injured his left eye. D. He picked up a new hobby.
6. What brought a turning point to the author
A. A special program. B. A meaningful performance.
C. An inspiring speech. D. An important interview.
7. What does the author intend to tell us
A. No pain，no gain. B. Every man has his price.
C. Everyone is born equal. D. Stay positive in the face of life's difficulties.
C
A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys. chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at the school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills.
And that is the difference between, the female and male brains. It can be simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at a time is often called "multi-tasking", a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere（脑半球）. In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason". The right hemisphere is known as the “creative" side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain. As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity（理智）when solving a problem.
8. A woman with the purpose of buying milk will go to the store and buy_______.
A. nothing but milk B. more things than planned
C. a lot of things except milk D. all the things that she likes
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Male brains develop better than female brains.
B. It's necessary for women to use different parts of the brain.
C. Men should use two sides of the brain to solve a problem.
D. Women may think more when finding a solution to the problem.
10. In which section of a newspaper can we find this passage
A. Sport Report. B. Farming Report. C. Health Report. D. Education Report.
11. What's the best title of the passage
A. Do one thing or do many a time. B. Men and women think differently.
C. The male and female interest in shopping. D. The study on the behavior of men and women.
D
One form of social prejudice（偏见）against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn't it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon（反对）by their children and grandchildren
"Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has let more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain. So that's why grey gamers are often seen now.
When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn't believe they would ever get familiar with them. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says, "I find it very relaxing. It's not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate."
Another development that has favored "grey games" is a change in the type of video games available on the market. There's a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation（模拟）games. For example, Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real—world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.
Some people argue that "grey gamers" simply don't have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn't be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than the young. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction. time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower—paced, mind challenging games.
12. The second paragraph is intended to___________.
A. show the best way to exercise the brain B. stress the importance of good health
C. explain why grey gamers exist D. teach how to play video games
13. What was older people's attitude towards personal computers at first
A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Supportive.
14. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is___________.
A. offering numbers B. giving examples C. making comparisons D. providing details
15. The underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably means___________.
A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older people
B. teenagers should improve their skills with practice
C. playing computer games requires analytical thinking
D. older people may perform well in computer games
