From the start, I sensed something special about my brother Joe. Born premature (早产), he spent his first few ______ in an incubator (恒温箱). I was four years old, having no ______ of babies. “What is that?” I said the day he ______ came home. “That’s your brother,” said my mother softly. “Call him Joe.” I touched him gently with my little hand and he grabbed hold of my finger. “Wow,” I said, “he’s strong.”
Little did I know. Joe would prove ______ than the sum of his diseases: the weakness in his legs, the limits of his mind, the never-ending night of his vision.
When he was six months old, my mother brought him home from a regular checkup from the hospital and told me to watch him while she was ______ supper in the kitchen. We started playing a game that I called “dogs” — rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying sadly. “Poor Joe, he’s ______,” she whispered, with ______ in her eyes. “The doctor told me today.”
I looked at Joe, who was laughing happily. “He can’t be blind,” I argued. “He’s truly smiling at my face.”
“Oh, no, honey. He smiles at your ______,” she replied. “He’ll never see your face.”
When he was seven, Joe spent a month in a hospital, following an operation that failed to help his legs. Walking without support seemed ______ for him ever since. From the age of eight, he ______ a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille (盲文). He was always ______, and when he was 16, the school said he had learned enough and sent him home. However, nothing could ______ him from learning and becoming independent. At 21, Joe moved out to live on his own, as he said, “Like a man, I am able to ______ by myself as a consultant (顾问).” He learned to cook, clean, do his own laundry and almost anything he ______, which were joyful experiences for him.
Then he met the ______ of his life. They dated three weeks before getting married. Joe called me proudly, “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.”

The sixth sense
The "sixth sense" is often said to be a strong feeling that a person has about something or someone. Read about one mother's experience.
I had a feeling ...
Kathy Sansano arrived home from work two months ago at 7:00 in the evening. "Usually, my husband is home before me, but when I got in, his briefcase was there, but he wasn't," recalls Sansano. She just thought that he want to the store for something. Sansano began preparing dinner, but couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. "I just started feeling very anxious and had to sit down. Five minutes later my husband phoned to say that our son had been injured in a football game at school."
Luckily, the boy only had a broken wrist, but Sansano still can't explain how she knew something was wrong. "It might have been 'mother's intuition (直觉)'" she laughs. "My son and I have always been very close."
Science points out five basic senses that humans use to experience the world. There is now evidence that human may also own a sixth sense-or an intuition about people or events. Recent studies suggest that insects and animals release odorless(meaning "without any smells") chemicals into the environment to send signal emotions such as fear or aggression (侵略). When another creature of the same kind senses the chemical, certain behavior is caused in that creature; for example, it will prepare to fight or to protect itself.
Scientists believe that humans long ago may have communicated using these kinds of chemical signals. "I walked into the room, and something just didn't seem right." It may be that the person is sensing chemical messages that have been produced by others. Kathy Sansano's husband may have left the house feeling afraid and worried about their son. When Kathy got home, she sensed his worry.
1.Kathy's husband came home earlier than his wife that evening, didn't he?
_____________________________.
2.What happened to their son at school?
_____________________________.
3.What made Kathy have the feeling that something was wrong?
_____________________________.
4.According to recent studies, how do insects and animals send signal emotions?
_____________________________.
5.What will you probably do if you sense the messages of "fear"?
_____________________________.
6.Do you believe there is a sixth sense in life? Show you reason(s) or example(s).
_____________________________.

The Day People Started Talking
My journey home from school is nothing special. I usually find a seat and start reading or texting my friends, making sure, like everyone else, not to look at other people. Then, twenty minutes later, I get off.
But last Tuesday was different. I was happily looking out of the window when the train suddenly stopped. This wasn’t usual. Then after about five minutes, I noticed people were starting to get a bit upset. Fifteen minutes later, people started getting more and more upset. Then the announcement (广播) came: “We are sorry to announce that this train is delayed. A train has broken down in front of us.”
There was a loud groan (叹息) throughout the carriage but soon something unexpected happened: all the complete strangers started talking to each other. At first, everyone just complained about the trains, but then people started talking about real things. I started chatting to a couple of young tourists sitting opposite me. Next, I really surprised myself by talking to a businesswoman. Business people are a lot cooler than I thought. Then I decided to get up and go for a walk down the train. I met a woman who had been a student at my school seven years before.
People offered each other food and drink. A young woman took her guitar and soon we were singing along. While we were singing, we heard there was a sick boy in another part of the train who needed help, and the woman from my school jumped into action. It turned out she was a nurse, and when she came back she was welcomed as a hero.
Then, after two and a half hours, we started moving again. Everyone cheered and some people, complete strangers three hours before, even hugged.
I took the train again on Wednesday but none of my new “friends” were there. Although people were polite, they weren’t nearly as friendly as the people the day before had been. I’ll never forget the day the train stopped and people started talking.
1.What happened after the announcement? （ ）
A.People got upset and started texting their friends.
B.The children started playing with their phones.
C.The workers started offering food and drink.
D.People started talking to each other.
2.The woman from the writer’s school jumped into action to ______. （ ）
A.play the guitar and sing
B.help a sick boy on the train
C.go for a walk down the train
D.get off and take another train
3.The writer will never forget last Tuesday because ______. （ ）
A.strangers on the train were friendly to each other
B.a nurse saved a boy’s life on the train just in time
C.he learned something new about business people
D.it was a good opportunity to make new friends

However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and more easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.
