I
went
to
a
group
activity,
“Sensitivity
Sunday”
which
was
to
make
us
more
36
the problem faced by
disabled people. We were asked to “
37
a disability”
for
several
hours
one
Sunday.
Some
member
38
chose
the
wheel
chair.
Other
wore
sound-blocking earplugs (
耳塞
)
or blindfolds (
眼罩
).
Just sitting in the wheelchair was a
39
experience, I had never
considered
before how
40
it would be to use one. As soon as I
sat down my
41
made
the chair begin to roll. Its wheel were
not
42
. Then I
wondered where to put my
43
,
It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest
into
44
, I took my
first
uneasy
look
at
what
was
to
be
my
only
means
of
45
for
several
hours.
For
disabled people, “adopting a
wheelchair” is not a
tempor
ary(
临时的
)
46
.
I tried to
find a
47
position and
thought it might be restful,
48
kind
of nice to be
49
around for a
while. Looking around, I
50
would have to
handle the
thing myself! My hands started to ache as I
51
the heavy wheels, I
came to know that controlling the
52
of the wheelchair as not
going to be
53
task,
My wheelchair experiment was soon
54
. It made a deep impression
on me.
A few hours of “disability” gave
me only a taste of the
55
,
both physical and
mental, that disabled
people must overcome.

A
Some people will do just about anything
to save money. And I am one of them.
Take my family’s last vacation. It was
my six
-year-
old son’s winter
break form schoo
l,
and we
were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a
weeklong trip. The flight was
overbooked, and Delta, the airline,
offered us $$400 per person in credits to give up
our
seats and leave the next day. I had
meeting in New York
，
So I had
to get back . But
that didn't mean my
husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-
month-old and
took off for home.
The next day my husband and son were
offered more credits to take an even later
flight. Yes, I
encouraged
一
okay, ordered-
them to wait it out at the airport, to
more Delta Dollars. Our total take:
$$1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people
may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great
wife either.
But as a big-time bargain
hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these
days, a good
deal is something few of
us can afford to pass up.
I've made
living looking for the best deals and exposing
(
揭露
) the worst tricks .
I have been the consumer reporter of
NBC's
Today show
for over a
decade.
I have
written
a
couple
of
books
including
one
titled
Tricks
of
the
Trade:
A
Consumer
Survival Guide. And I really do what I
believe in. I tell you this because there is no
shame
in
getting
your
money’s
worth.
I’m
also
tightfisted
when
it
comes
to
shoes,
clothes for my
children, and expensive restaurants. But I
wouldn't hesitate to spend on
a good
haircut. It keeps its longer, and it's the first
thing people notice. And I will also
spend on a classic piece of furniture.
Quality lasts.
56. Why did
Delta give the author's family credits?
A. They took a later flight.
B. They had early bookings.
C. Their flight had been delayed.
D. Their flight had been cancelled.
57. What can we learn about the author?
A. She rarely misses a good deal.
B. She seldom makes a compromise.
C. She is very strict with her children
D. She is interested in cheap products.
58. What does the author do?
A. She's a teacher.
B. She's
a housewife.
C. She's a media person.
D. She's a businesswoman.
59. What does the author want to tell
us?
A. How to expose bad tricks.
B. How to reserve airline seats.
C. How to spend money wisely,
D. How to make a business deal.
B
The baby is just one day
old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet
but alert
(
警觉
).
Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have
placed a white card with
two
black
spots
on
it.
She
stares
at
it
carefully.
A
researcher
removes
the
card
and
replaces it by another,
this time with the spots differently spaced. As
the cards change
from one to the other,
her gaze(
凝视
) starts to lose
its focus - until a third, with three
black spots, is presented. Her gaze
returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she
did
at the previous card. Can she tell
that the number two is different from three, just
24
hours after coming into the world?
Or
do
newborns
simply
prefer
more
to
fewer?
The
same
experiment,
but
with
three spots shown
before two, shows the same return of interest when
the number of
spots changes. Perhaps it
is just the newness? When slightly older babies
were shown
cards
with
pictures
of
objects(a
comb,
a
key,
an
orange
and
so
on),
changing
the
number of objects had an effect
separate from changing the objects themselves.
Could
it
be
the
pattern
that
two
things
make,
as
opposed
to
three?
No
again.
Babies
paid
more attention to
squares moving randomly on a screen when their
number changed
from
two
to
three,
or
three
to
two.
The
effect
even
crosses
between
senses.
Babies
who
were
repeatedly
shown
two
spots
became
more
excited
when
they
then
heard
three
drumbeats
than
when
they
heard
just
two; <
/p>
likewise(
同
样
地
)
when
the
researchers started with drumbeats and
moved to spots.

in ______.
A. the size of cards.
B. the colour of pictures.
C. the shape of patterns.
D.
the number of objects.
62. Why did the
researchers test the babies with drumbeats?
A. To reduce the difficulty of the
experiment.
B. To see how babies
recognize sounds.
C. To carry their
experiment further.
D. To keep the
babies’ interest.
63. Where
does this text probably come from?
A.
Science fiction.
B. Children’s
literature.
C. An
advertisement.
D. A science report.
C
It
happened
to
me
recently.
I
was
telling
someone
how
much
I
had
enjoyed
reading Barack Obama’s
Dreams From My Father
and
how it had changed my views
of our
President. A friend I was talking to agreed with
me that it was ,in his words, “a
brilli
antly
（精彩地）
written book”.
However, he then went on t
o talk about
Mr Obama
in a way which suggested he
had no idea of his background at all. I sensed
that I was
talking to a book liar.
And
it
seems
that
my
friend
is
not
the
only
one.
Approximately
two
thirds
of
people
have lied about reading a book which
the
y haven’t. In the World Book Day’s
“Report on Guilty Secrets”,
Dreams From My Father
is at
number 9. The report lists
ten books,
and various authors, which people have lied about
reading, and as I’m not
one to lie too
often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here
and now that I haven’t
read the entire
top ten . But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42
percent of people, I
have read the book
at number one,
George
Orwell’
s 1984
. I think it’s
really brilliant.
The World
Book Day report also has some other interesting
information in it. It
says
that
many
people
lie
about
having
read
Jane
Austen,
Charles
Dickens,
Fyodor
Dostoevsky(I haven’t
read him, but haven’t lied about it either )and
Herman Melville.
Asked why
they lied, the most common reason was to “impress”
someone they
were speaking to. This
could be tricky if the conversation became more in
–
depth!
But when
asked which authors they actually enjoy, people
named J. k. Rowling,
John Grisham,
Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other
words). Forty-two percent
of people
asked admitted they turned to the back of the book
to read the end before
finishing the
story(I’ll come clean:
I do this and am
astonished that 58 percent said
they
had never done so).
64. How
did the author find his friend a book liar?
A. By judging his manner of speaking.
B. By looking into his background.
C. By mentioning a famous name.
D. By discussing the book itself.
65.
Which
of
the
following
is
a
“guilty
secret”
according
to
the
World
Book
Day
report?
A. Charles Dickens
is very low on the top-ten list.
B. 42%
of people pretended to have read 1984.
