Ⅴ. Reading comprehension.
A.Choose the best answer.
On a freezing January morning 26 y ears ago,Vicki Myron opened the library in Spencer, Iowa. She heard a cat cry and finally found a yellow kitten in a pile of books.
“His little feet were frozen,” Myron 1 recalls. “We gave him a bath just to warm him up and he purred (咕噜叫) the whole time.”
That was 1988 and it was a Cinderella story for Dewey, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since.
“His story has a life of its own,” Myron says while reading the cat's fan mail. “We have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Dewey. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him.”
Shortly after the kitten’s rescue，a photo of the library’s “new employee” sitting on the card catalog(目录) appeared in local newspaper. Local people were invited to help name the kitten and many cast votes(投票). “We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn’t even a prize,” Myron says with a laugh.
Dewey grew from a popular local “library employee” to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 125 libraries across America. Most live and “work” in comfortable, small town libraries where they don’t get lost in the books. Library cats used to earn their keep by catching rats, but modern library cats have more “white- collar” duties: to act charming(nice)and make the library a pleasant homey place.
“Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere(气氛),” says Gary Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. “The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can’t have pets in their apartments,” Roma says. “Books, libraries, and cats just go together.

A. spring B.summer C. autumn D. winter

When I was about 12 years old, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to tell me about my weak points. Week by week her list became 65 : I was very short, and I wasn't a good student. I talked too much, and so on. I tried to stand all of these as long as I could. Finally, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me 66 , and then asked, “Are the things that she said true or not Jane, have you ever 67 what you’re really like Now you have that girl’s ideas. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things that she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great 68 ，I found that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change, like being very short, but a great number of them I could. I wanted to change the bad things, and for the first time I knew something about myself in a very clear way.
I brought the list back to my father. He refused to take it. “That's just for you,” he said, “You know better than 69 else the truths about yourself, but sometimes other opinions are also important, so you have to learn how to 70 and not just close you cars in anger and feel hurt. When something that is said about you is true, you'll find that it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think that they know you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to all of them, but hear the truth and do what you think is the right thing to do.” I have remembered my father's advice at many important moments. I have never had a better piece of advice in my whole life.

D. Answer the questions.
Experts say learning disabilities are not with intelligence(智力)or diligence(勤奋). The problem, they say, is that some people's brains process information differently.
Generally speaking, people with learning disabilities are average or above average in their intelligence. But their disorders may affect their ability to gain knowledge and, as a result, limit their success in school or jobs.
Different people can have different kinds of learning disabilities. One person may have difficulty with language development. Another may have trouble working with numbers. People can have more than one disorder, but reading is the most common area of difficulty.
Learning disabilities are neurological(神经系统的)disorders that affect the brain's ability to store, process and communicate information. The National Centre for Learning Disabilities reported that fifteen million Americans,or five percent,are affected. Three million students in the United States received some kind of special help in school because of learning disabilities. Learning disabilities may help explain why some students do not perform well in school as intelligence tests suggest they should.
People with a learning disability may have trouble following directions. Or they may not know how to start a task. Children who have problems connecting letters with sounds or understanding what they read maybe showing signs of learning disabilities.
Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people can learn ways to deal with their disorders. Teachers and parents can provide support that will help students learn successfully.
