I was born in Mississippi in the 1960s. My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my brain when I was a five-year-old boy. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade P.E. class. All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the second graders playing games. Mom called the school to tell them it wasn’t fair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.

In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she had made a major stroke（中风）and died. My dad became even more distant. I was very sad and began using alcohol to ease the pain.

Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me; he told me to stay at home and watch the house. When my high school ball came around, I wanted to go but wasn’t allowed. When I graduated, my dad and step-mom refused to hold a party for me. They put me in a group home after graduation.

My life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy（自我辩护）Group. At first, I thought the group wasn’t for me, until I found out it was all about empowerment（授权）! My goal is to be the voice for people who haven’t been heard and to empower them. Many families, like mine, don’t believe their disabled families have a voice or mind of their own.

Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, I ’m proud that I ’ve helped disabled people. They should be encouraged to never give up and to follow their own path.

56. When the writer was in the fifth grade, he________.

A. was hurt by his classmates in school

B. felt left out for the first time in his life

C. studied with the second graders

D. often complained about the school

57. According to the passage, the writer ________.

A. was born disabled           B. didn’t study well at school

C. was happy in his childhood   D. didn’t get along well with his father

58. From the passage we can know that the National Self-advocacy Group is ________.

A. an organization that gives disabled people help

B. a club organized completely by disabled people

C. a hospital which only treats people with disabilities

D. a school that teaches parents how to deal with their disabled kids

Driving while talking on a hand-held mobile phone has long been considered a danger. But even drivers who use hands free devices are a nuisance – because they are slowing everyone else down, according to a study.

David Strayer, a psychology professor in Utah University’s traffic lab, conducted a study involving 36 university students driving on motorways. Each used a hands free phone for half the trip but not for the other half. The students were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them . What Strayer found is that when the drivers were distracted（使分心）by a phone conversation , they made fewer lane（车道） changes, drove slower and took longer to get where they were going. Fellow researcher Professor Peter Martin, who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Utat University, said,“Ordinarily a slower driver should be safer ， but that’s not the case when people are talking on a cell phone.”

In general , drivers who used mobile phones while driving took three percent longer to drive along the same high-density route than drivers who didn’t. When stuck behind a dawdling(磨蹭的) driver , it took them between 25 and 50 seconds longer to switch to an open lane to overtake. Those delays can add up when you consider studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of US drivers are using a cell phone at any one time. And delays in traffic streams of very small amounts can grow into massively when drivers are crossing a  highway.” Our next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and in extra fuel costs,” Martrin said.

63. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?

A. A person who is a volunteer.         B. A person who breaks the traffic law

C. A person who is annoyed by others.   D. A person who causes trouble

64. Which of the following is TRUE , according to Martin?

A. The more slowly a person drove, the safer he was.

B. Measures should be taken to stop using mobile phones.

C. Drivers using hand-held phones had less effect on traffic than those using hands free phones

D. Driving while using mobile phones could cost drivers time and money.

65. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. traffic conditions in rush hours

B. the use of mobile phones in the USA

C. using hands free devices behind the wheel

D. a comparison between hand-held phones and hands free ones

Nowadays a vegetarian lifestyle is becoming more and more popular. Leading health experts agree that maintaining a vegetarian diet is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and our families.

66   . A well-planned vegetarian diet provides us with all the nutrients we need and avoids fat, cholesterol（胆固醇） and the pollutants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products. And it can provide protection against various kinds of diseases, including the three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have lower rates of death from heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and lower rates of hypertension(高血压) .67.

Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than their meat-eating friends. 68. Vegetarians live, on average, 6 to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.

69   . Animals raised for food consume the vast majority of their calories simply in order to live, just as we do. We feed more than 70 percent of the grains and cereals we grow to farm animals, and almost all of those calories go into simply keeping them alive, not making them grow. Only a small amount of the calories consumed by farm animals are actually turned into the meat that people eat . So it’s really a huge waste, isn’t it ? Try your best to find tips for maximizing(最大化) the health benefits of a vegetarian diet.70

E. Vegetarian diets are the only diets that work for long-term weight loss

F. It’s never too late to turn over a new page.

G. Healthy vegetarian diets support a lifetime of good health.

Last week, I met a stranger who seemed to be losing. I offered to guide him to a place he wanted to go to, but to my surprise, he refused my offer to helping. I asked him why not. He told me that he was afraid I would ask him money if I helped him in this way. Then I fell into deep thoughts: Was it money which came between us? I agree that money is become more and more important in our society, and it should not be everything. We should try my best to help others and trust each other. If everyone does this, our society will be better and better.
