A
When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If
you experience any of these emotions, you are not alone．Chances are that you don’t regularly
associate with someone who is disabled ． Here are four points to keep in mind if you should
happen to meet a disabled person.
Disabled people can lead active lives
With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family,
or taking part in social activities．Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a
person with a disability．Instead of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same
way you would look at any normal person.
It’s all right to ask questions
Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability．When meeting
them for the first time, it’s natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they’re
from ．Asking questions is usually acceptable, as long as you use common sense ．Don’t, for
example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself.
Offer help when necessary
You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building．It’s usually appropriate
to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be
willing to accept your help．Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part.
Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome
No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face．Like you, a disabled
person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied．Many friends have
said to me, “I often forget that you are blind.” To me, that is the top compliment (赞扬).
1．Why are you curious when you first see disabled people?
A．They can’t live normally. B. You seldom deal with them.
C．You look down upon them． D．They look quite different.
2．What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it?
A．You had better lend him or her a hand.
B．You pretend that you haven’t seen him or her.
C．You should encourage him or her to try.
D．You had better leave him or her alone.
3．From this passage we learn that _______.
A. the author is blind himself
B. a disabled person needs pitying
C. not everyone has a weakness
D. some people have no difficulty
B
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this
beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. Outside, it was pouring so heavily.
We all stood there just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others
annoyed because nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the
heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world.
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance (昏昏欲睡) we were all caught in.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit.” Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated, “Mom, let’s run through the
rain.”
“We’ll get soaked if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she tore
at her Mom’s arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, If God
can get us through this, he can get us through anything!”
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I dare say you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We
all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and th ought for a
moment about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was
said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child’s lifetime when innocent trust can be
developed so that it will bloom into faith. “Honey, you are absolutely right. Let’s run through the
rain. If get wet, well maybe we just need washing. ” Mom said. Then off they ran.
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and they held their
shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few
who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, l did. I ran. I got wet. I
needed washing.
You may lose your material possessions, your money and even your health, but no one can
ever take away your precious memories. So don’t forget to make time and take the opportunities to
make memories.
4. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “affirmation”?
A. happiness B. approval C. disagreement D. love
5. What do we know about the mother in the story?
A. Her husband was cured of his cancer.
B. She was strong-willed and considerate.
C. She was in despair and pretended to forget what she said.
D. Her daughter completely understood the situation her family was in.
6. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. The mother should not tell her child about the family misfortune.
B. Parents should act more bravely than their children.
C. Parents should grasp every opportunity to influence their children to grow well.
D. Children should learn to show gratitude and understanding to their parents.
7. The best title for the passage might be _______.
A. Run Through the Rain
B. Be a Determined Mother
C. Wait in the Rain
D. Have a wonderful experience
C
The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going
well．Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law
or love?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And
the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．
Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted．So these are the qualities
that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual
feelings are．In response, employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the
applicant’s true personality．
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Temperament
Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know．This is
often called aptitude (天资) test．
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance, many job applicants in China are finding this type of
questions difficult．“When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right
answer but they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．”
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their
own interest, but they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking
for．Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is the honest answer．
8. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To give a piece of advice to job interviewees．
B. To tell you how to deal with job interviews．
C. To advise you how to find a good job．
D. To describe an aptitude test．
9. Now employers want to hire workers who ________．
A. know much more than others B. will work harder than others
C. are able to solve the problems D. are better educated than others
10. According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should ________．
A. not tell the truth
B. offer a complete answer
C. learn to tell what they really think
D. find out what the examiner wants to know
11. From the passage we know that ________．
A. job applicants are always asked such questions
B. applicants should not act as cleverly as possible
C. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
D. aptitude test is becoming world-wide popular
