“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to accomplish so much？” Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller.

Ms Keller answered, “If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”

In fact, “Little Annie”， as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself (due to a childhood fever) and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” and was locked in the basement of a mental institution. On occasion, Little Annie would even violently attack anyone who came near.

An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. She still continued to visit for she believed Little Annie could recover, if she was shown love.

Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they witnessed anger and coldness they noted gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.

Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her，played with her and worked with her until the weak candle became a beacon of light to the world. She worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.

“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.” But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown. And so it goes. And how far forward will it lead?

1.When she was young, Little Annie________．

A．enjoyed being locked in the basement of a mental institution

B．complained about her loneliness

C．showed her friendly attitude to others

D．suffered from mental illness

2.Why did the “hopeless” Little Annie change into a helpful one?

A．Because an efficient way was found by doctors to cure her illness.

B．Because a nurse who was concerned about her helped her constantly.

C．Because she was taken good care of by her relative.

D．Because the illness was defeated by her own strong will.

3.How did Anne Sullivan help Helen Keller?

A．She devoted all her time to dealing with everything for Helen Keller.

B．She promised Helen Keller never to leave her.

C．She trained Helen Keller to control her behaviour.

D．She encouraged Helen Keller to make friends with others.

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A．A caring nurse

B．Chain of love

C．Without respect, without success

D．God helps those who help themselves

One advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.

“Nothing fits,” said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior in electrical and computer engineering at Rice University. “Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don’t fit. People get very unhappy.”

Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtual (虛擬)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Ko ng and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, ‘The color is wrong’ or ‘I got the right size but it still does not fit.’ We want to make it like you’re in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.

Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong’s dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shopper’s 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.

Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”

1.Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage?

A. Students may easily get addicted to it.

B. Clothes bought online may not fit.

C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.

D. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.

2.Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting room from ____.

A. their shopping experiences B. a program at their university

C. some shop-owners’ complaints D. the Xbox 360 video game player

3.Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room?

A. scanning -- trying on clothes -- getting images

B. trying on clothes -- getting models -- scanning

C. scanning -- getting models --trying on clothes

D. trying on clothes -- getting images -- scanning

4.What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?

A. It is perfectly developed. B. It will have its market share.

C. It is limited to women shoppers. D. It is like a kind of video game player.
