Each country has many kind people who volunteer to take care of others. For example, some high school and university students in the US often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals or old people’s homes.

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade. I saw some disabled people before，but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through(经历 ).
When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it.
Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts--he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak， the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.
After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade clams and go up to him or her.
56．What did the author think of the boy before the mother's talk
A．Friendly. B．Humorous. C．Generous. D．Strange.
57．Which order is RIGHT according to the passage
1. We got away from him.
2. We got on well with Derek.
3. Derek arrived in my class.
4. Derek's morn talked to us.
A．3124 B．3142 C．1324 D．1432
58．According to Derek's mother, Derek________________.
A．was too shy to be with others
B．had problems in expressing himself
C．was good at communicating with others
D．didn't like the way others treated him
59．After Derek's mom's talk, we did the following EXCEPT that ____________.
A．we became friends B．we played together
C．we played jokes on him. D．we communicated with him
60．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Living with an open mind
B．Believing in yourself
C．Behaving in different ways
D．Making friends with the disabled
D
Holidays with friends can be great fun and a good way of getting to know each other better. Planning the trip well will help you have a good time. Also it will help you to save money if you start planning earlier.
Going abroad will cost more but be a more exciting experience. Don’t go abroad if this is the first trip you help to organize. Going to a different place in your own country can also be fun and will be cheaper.
Work out how many people you will be able to plan the trip for. Find out how much interest there is for people to go on the trip, and then invite people who you think will enjoy themselves and who you get on well with.
Everyone will have their own idea of what they want the trip to be like, so you should have a meeting. Keep a notebook and write down things to do. If you share ideas with others, you will take a happier trip.
After you decide on your hotel, you’ll know the dates of your stay and be able to book transport, such as bus, train and airplane. Booking transport earlier can save some money, so you’d better book as soon as possible.
