A
Born blind is tough in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth's parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty four year old man is the founder CEO of Bollant Industries.
Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn't quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.
Concerned this would hold back Srikanth's development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.
Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged.
Being disabled doesn't mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says, ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing，’ I will look back at the world and say I can do anything，” says the young man.
1．Why was Srikanth sent to a special school
A．His parents became richer than before.
B．He could be treated equally there.
C．This school was free for disabled students.
D．He was sent away by the regular school.
2．What can we know about Srikanth from the text
A．He was born in a poor village.
B．He cared about disabled people.
C．His parents were strict with him in his study.
D．He was loved by the villagers when he was young.
3．What words can best describe Srikanth
A．Intelligent and determined.
B．Active and honest.
C．Patient and careful.
D．Kind but stubborn.
4．What can be the best title for the text
A．Chances Are Everywhere
B．No Challenges, No Success
C．Big Dream Makes a Difference
D．Disability Doesn't Mean Being Unable
B
I strongly believe that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was helping my son in the third grade with his homework and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math exercises. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting discouraged, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and more precise when he stood up. Could he be more focused while standing up
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that being a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality, and that all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for us but it doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
5．Time and again, the author got his son seated in order to make him ________.
A．get right answers
B．keep polite in the room
C．finish his homework on time
D．pay more attention to his study
6．Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.
A．the importance of parents
B．the old form of education
C．the good habits of some kids
D．the relationship between kids and parents
7．Why has the author stopped asking his son to sit down
A．His son's DNA is different.
B．His son wants to be unique.
C．His son doesn't follow his advice.
D．He has changed his traditional ideas.
8．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage
A．Friendship Between Generations
B．Adults' Influence on Teen Growth
C．Kids' Success in Their Own Styles
D．Parental Help with Teens' Study

Leon, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a prosthesis(义肢), using a 3 D printer. Now Leon has fingers that can open and close. “It was a do it yourself, father and son adventure，” says Paul.
When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use of the hand he was born with，” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father considered buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30, 000. Then Paul found a more affordable solution.
One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created by a 3 D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3 D printer—which costs around $2,000 and some materials.
Luckily, Leon's school had recently bought a 3 D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shin pad(护胫) , cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10，” says Paul.
With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags，” he says.
Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal，” he tells the reporter from the local evening paper, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces (鞋带)”．

When Allen invited me to a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined us in a cosy cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa and soft beds. But my happy imagination became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags and water bottles. We were going on survival training!
The ever efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.
At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.
After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned (呻吟) but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly，” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm is on its way.”
I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tent when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.
Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don't worry. Summer storms pass quickly，” said Leo, trying to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away，” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.
And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible—I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.
I won't lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.

A．He was an experienced and capable hiker.

C．He had known the writer for a long time.
D．He had not been to this mountain before.
8．How did the author feel at the end of the story
A．Bitter. B．Optimistic.
C．Scared. D．Satisfied.

A
Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After stripping off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean？” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potatoes became soft and weak in the boiling water. The eggs were fragile,_ with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the eggs became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like？” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond？”
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.

Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers，” she says.
