12．After being born at the end of 1932，Mr．Cameron Senior suffered a lot with both legs shortened below the knee and his feet twisted．He went under numerous operations to ease his pain，and eventually both limbs（下肢）  had to be cut off．But despite his disability and later losing the sight in one eye，Mr．Cameron Senior still gained a successful career as a stockbroker（股票經(jīng)紀人）．
  After moving to England from Scotland as a child，he married Mary and the couple raised four children at the family home in Peasemore，Berks．
  In an interview with the Daily Telegraph two years ago，the Tory leader described the experience of growing up with a father with a disability．He told how once they were on holiday in Cornwall，he overheard someone rudely saying．"That guy's wearing funny boots．"Mr．Cameron（卡梅倫 英國前任首相） said he thought to himself，"That's odd，no one ever says that．"
  In an ITV interview before the general election，Mr．Cameron said of his father，"He's an amazingly brave man because he was born with no heels-quite a disability．But the glass with him was half-full，normally with something alcoholic．I think I got my sense of optimism from him．"
   Mr．Cameron also appeared with his parents at an event and said that they understood his idea for"A Big Society"．
"They showed me how a big society could work every day I was growing up，"he said，"I know what are my responsibilities．"Mr．Cameron's disability is not thought to have played any part in his death aged 77．Friends said he was"so proud"to see his son become Prime Minister in May，and had visited 10 Downing Street and Chequers．However，the family's various holiday plans meant that he did not get to meet his latest granddaughter Florence，who was delivered to the PM's wife Samantha last month．

3．At thirteen，I was diagnosed（診斷）with kind of attention disorder．It made school difficult for me．When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not．
In my first literature class，Mrs．Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45minutes．I raised my hand right away and said，"Mrs．Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems．I might not be able to do it．"
She glanced down at me through her glasses，"you are no different from your classmates，young man．"
I tried，but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang．I had to take it home．
In the quietness of my bedroom，the story suddenly all became clear to me．It was about a blind person，Louis Braille．He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education．But Louis didn't give up．Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots （點），which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind．
Wasn't I the"blind"in my class，being made to learn like the"sighted"students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance．I completed the task within 40minutes．Indeed，I was no different from others； I just needed a quieter place．If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up？
I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs．Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an"A"on it．At the bottom of the paper were these words："See what you can do when you keep trying？"

A．He was new to the class
B．He was tired of literature

D．He wanted to take the task home
46．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage？A．
A．He made a great invention．
B．He had good sight．
C．He gave up reading．
D．He learned a lot from school．
47．What was Mrs．Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story？D．
A．Angry．
B．Impatient．
C．Sympathetic．
D．Encouraging．
48．What is the main idea of the passage？D．
A．The disabled should be treated with respect．
B．A teacher can open up a new world to students．
C．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges．
D．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts．

1．Alibaba，Bank of China and Huawei-these are the dream employers for Chinese students，according to a new survey．
"The survey of more than 55，000 students，conducted by the research firm Universum，has found that roughly a quarter want to work for an international company，while only 9% want to work for a start-up．Five percent want to start their own business．"
　　The students said that work-1ife balance was the most important career goal，followed by job stability．When it comes to desirable companies，Bank of China has been named the top choice by business students for seven consecutive years，and the gigantic state-owned firm shows no signs of giving up its lead．
　　William Wu，the China country manager for Universum，said that banking remains an attractive industry for young Chinese．"China's government is now emphasizing the revolution of the finance industry，which leaves the younger generation with the impression that although banking is a traditional industry，there are still a lot of development opportunities．"Wu said．

"Both of these companies are pioneers in terms of local companies going international．"said Wu．"It shows that…an international development strategy has a positive influence among Chinese young talents．"Tech companies ruled the rankings for humanities students，with Alibaba-which was ninth in 2014一landing at the top．Last year，Apple was the Number l choice of Chinese students．
