I was fifteen when I walked into Black Stump Bookstore in Liverpool. As I was looking at      on the shelves, the shop owner asked if I’d like     . I needed to start     for college, so I said yes. I worked after school and during summers for the lowest wages, and the job helped      my first year of college. I had worked in many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union during college, I was a hotel maid and I     make maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most     .
One day a woman asked me for books on women’s diseases. She seemed fearful. I showed her almost everything we had at that time     and found other books we could order. She left the store less     . I’ve always remembered the      felt in having helped her.
Years later, as a     in London, I heard about a black child born      his fingers connected. His family could not      a corrective operation, and the boy lived in     hiding his hand in pocket. I     my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the     for free. I visited the boy in the     room soon after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his      hand and say “ Thank you.” I felt a sense of    .
In the past     I was at Black Stump Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today, it’s the same. BBC News pays my     , but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them understand the world.

Janice Fialka showed a new documentary (紀(jì)錄片) about her cognitively (認(rèn)知地) disabled son at schools and seminars across the country.Everyone seemed to enjoy it，but one comment from a teacher proved her family’s investment to Fialka was a success.
“In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said，‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4­year old with Down Syndrome (先天愚型)，’”Fialka said.“She said，‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him.Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”
The story of Micah Fialka­Feldman，a 22­year­old Oakland University student，is meant to show parents，educators and the disabled anything is possible.
Fialka­Feldman wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true”．A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college，but because family and friends believed in him he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes.
The title of the film Through the Same Door came from a day when Fialka­Feldman，who was enrolled in a first grade special education program，told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school.It led him to becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
Though he can’t read or write on his own，F(xiàn)ialka­Feldman reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software，tutors，and the embrace (接受) of his community.
At Berkley High School，F(xiàn)ialka­Feldman won the Social Studies Department Award for civic (公民的) involvement.In 2004 he received the Michigan “Yes，I Can” award for self­advocacy (自強(qiáng))．
He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance，took a 10­day trip through Israel with friends last year，and enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program，which is geared (使適合于) to help the disabled go from high school to college.
Fialka said he’s the happiest kid in the world.Everyone should be so happy.
小題1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Disabled Man Living His Dream
B．Nothing Is Impossible
C．Don’t Look Down Upon the Disabled
D．Through the Same Door
小題2:What the early childhood teacher said suggests that________.
A．disabled people should be realistic about their dreams
B．she used to believe we should not expect much from disabled people
C．she hadn’t given the 4­year old with Down Syndrome enough attention
D．the documentary about Fialka­Feldman encouraged the disabled
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true about Fialka­Feldman?
A．He was the first cognitively disabled student in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
B．He went to school by public transportation and was helped to pick up classes.
C．He benefited from computer software and other people.
D．He received the “Yes，I Can” award for civic involvement and self­advocacy
小題4:Which of the following shows the correct order of events of Fialka­Feldman?
a．He received the Michigan “Yes，I Can” award.
b．His documentary was shown and welcomed.
c．He was enrolled in a first grade special education program.
d．He finished high school with a certificate of attendance.
e．He enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program.

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly? Well，that’s how I     about joining Madcaps，a mothers and daughters’club assisting charity.      ，my feeling changed finally. Now I believe if you adopt an     attitude．you might just      enjoying it.
Six months ago，my mom told me the club asked us to work as     at Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless shelter．That meant I had to     in the dirty homeless shelter for at least  20  hours.
The first lime we went there，a lady led us to the kitchen where we     my five fellow Madcaps classmates- they also wore the same mark .Since I′m usually     awkward， I had never talked with any of them .Worse still，my mom was asked to help outside the kitchen，leaving me totally     to serve food with them. Soon large numbers of homeless families     in like rushing river．A little girl，around 5 years old，walked up to me I      her a sandwich. She took it and joined her family quickly．As she walked away, I     she was wearing a coat．Clearly too big for her, hanging     on her thin body, and couldn’t help thinking how much I had     with her．It suddenly struck me that how     I am.
After that moment I had a    of heart Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting I have     awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the      20 hours of charity.
So that is how I have made a    by doing one thing I do not want to do .If you have an open     about things you can accomplish more and become a well-rounded（全面的）person.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

A ship was damaged during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors decided that they should pray to God.
However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide（分割開(kāi)）the land between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.
The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s side of land remained barren.
After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was damaged and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.
Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship stopped at his side of the island.
The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven, “Why are you leaving your partner on the island?”
“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them.” The first man answered. “ His prayers were all unanswered so he doesn’t deserve anything.”
“You are mistaken!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”
小題1:Why didn’t the two men stay together on the island?
A．Because they both wanted to live a quiet life
B．Because they couldn’t get along well with each other
