10、the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr. Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldnt do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because Im educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).” He came from behind his desk and looked at m

11、e. “Dont ever say that again. Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said. It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.

12、But Mr. Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.” One day, I caught up with him in the parking

13、 place and said, “Mr. Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?” He said, “Yes, Mr. Brown.” “But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? Im slower than most kids.” “It doesnt matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades dont determi

14、ne who you are or what you can produce in your life.” “I want to buy my mother a house.” “It is possible, Mr. Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away. “Mr. Washington?” “What do you want now?” “Uh, Im the one, sir. One day youre going to hear my name. Im the one, sir.” School was a real

15、struggle for me. Mr. Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life. Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television c

16、hannel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr. Brown, please?” “Oh, Mr. Washington, is that you?” “Yes, its me. You were the one, werent you?” “Yes, sir, I was.”21. What does Mr. Washington mean by saying “Someones opinion of y

17、ou does not have to become your reality”? A. You neednt have the same opinion as others.B. You should believe what other people say.C. What other people say about you may not be correct.D. The doctor made a mistake.22. What happened to the author at last? A. He entered a good university. B. He earne

18、d much honor.C. He got a good job. D. He made television programs.23. In the passage, the author implies that _. A. people shouldnt believe what doctors say B. no one can be successful with hard work and confidence C. no one is really educable mentally retarded D. a good teacher can change a student

19、s life 24. The best title for the passage would be “_”. A. Dont believe others B. I am the one C. My best teacher D. I succeeded at lastBYou cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before head

20、ing out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella. The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps

21、 lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said. The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on dema

22、nd. Sensors (传感器) ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians (行人) shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360 motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy

23、is closed. According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters o

24、ff the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but t

25、here are no canopies to provide shelter. 25. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain. B. To check the weather forecast. C. To protect people from the rain. D. To remind people to take an umbrella. 26. What do we know from Belyaevs words in Paragraph 2?A. His cre

26、ation was inspired by an experience. B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.27. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motorcanopysensors B. sensorsmotorcanopy C. motorsensorscanopyD. canopy

27、motorsensors28. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production. C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow. CHIGHFIELD C

36、o 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 retu

37、rns: 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 o

38、f 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

39、that two things make, as opposed to (而非) 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 t

43、victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune ( 免疫的)，for I was used to the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good days walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of stren

44、gth and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old, I raced and beata teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-kn

47、but we have made it our way of life. Many people dont dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat.
