A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D.C．Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended．In a natural reflex （反应）, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her．I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar．But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money．I just need help finding the post office.” In an instant, I realized what I had done．I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be．I hated what I saw in myself．This incident re-awakened my belief in humility(谦恭), even though I’d lost it for a moment． The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant．I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S．at the age of 15．I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother．Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer． In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏见)．I remember a time, at age 17 ----- I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me．I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better． But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going．That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness．She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open．By the way, I helped that lady to the post office．And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson． 1.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that __________ ． A．the author regretted his act of prejudice B．the blind woman needed the money badly C．the author was as poor as the blind woman D．the author was a native American 2.According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably _____ ． A．rather hurt B．very excited C．deeply moved D．greatly inspired 3.According to the passage, the author probably agrees that one should ________ ． A．be nice to the elderly and the disabled B．try to experience different kinds of life C．treat others equally with love and respect D．think about one’s past as often as possible 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Teenagers’ acting selfishly could be down to the wiring in their brains, scientists said recently． Teenagers hardly use the area of the brain that analyzes other’s emotions and thoughts when considering a course of action．They are also less likely to consider their own emotions than adults do, said scientist Dr Sarahjayne Blakemore, from University College London. Many areas of the brain change dramatically during the teenage years, with one part ---- the medial prefrontal cortex(内侧前额叶皮层) ---- continuing to develop way beyond adolescence．This is an area at the front of the brain associated with higher-level thinking, empathy (同情), guilt and understanding other people’s motivations(动机)． The researchers say they have now found that, when making decisions about what action to take, the medial prefrontal cortex is underused in teenagers．Instead, a back area of the brain involved in sensing and imagining actions, takes over． Dr．Blakemore said: “Thinking methods change with age．As you get older you use more or less the same brain network to make decisions about your actions but the important difference is that the distribution of that brain activity shifts(改变方向) from the back of the brain to the front． “We think that a teenager’s judgment of what they would do in a given situation is driven by the simple question: ‘What would I do?’．Adults, on the other hand, ask: ‘what would I do, given how I would feel and given how the people around me would feel as a result of my actions?” In the study, teenagers and adults were asked questions about the actions they would take in a given situation while their brains were scanned using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging．A second piece of research showed teenagers were less likely to think about how they would feel in another person’s shoes. Dr Blakemore concluded: “ It is clear that teenagers are dealing with, not only massive hormonal shifts(激素变化), but also important neural(神经系统的) changes.” 1.When teens decide to take action, they ________． A．ask too many questions B．hardly use the brain network C．use the brain activity more than adults D．hardly consider other people’s emotions 2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “underused”? A．often used B．being developed C． wrongly used D．not used enough 3.The purpose of writing this passage is to ______________． A．blame teenagers for their selfish behavior B．advise teenagers not to be selfish C．show how to change a selfish teenager D．explain why teenagers act selfishly

Recently, a study was carried out to determine who was the greatest American president．Sixty-five presidential historians took part in it, and they judged the past forty-two American leaders based on ten leadership qualities, including public persuasiveness(信服), crisis leadership, management of the economy, moral leadership, and conduct of international relations．The historians also looked at administrative ability (管理能力), relations with Congress, ability to set goals, and the pursuit of equal justice for all．Finally, the experts took into consideration the historical period in which the president lived． The historians chose Abraham Lincoln as American’s greatest president．He had also been named best president in a similar study in 2000．Abraham Lincoln was the president who led the nation through the Civil War in the 1860s, and was able to unite it in the end．He also took the first steps to abolish slavery in America． Edna Medford, a professor of history at Howard University in Washington, D.C., was an adviser on this study and the earlier one．She says Abraham Lincoln is seen to represent the values the nation most honors, such as truthfulness, moderation, and respect for human rights． The historians put American’s first president, George Washington, second on the list, while Franklin D．Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, and Harry Truman follow in that order．John F．Kennedy, the country’s first Roman Catholic president, is sixth on the list．Like Lincoln, Kennedy was murdered while in office． Among recent presidents, Ronald Reagan was named the tenth best and Bill Clinton rated fifteenth, while the historians put former president George W．Bush at number thirty-six．His father, George H.W．Bush, did much better, being placed at number eighteen． 1.We learn from the text that ___________． A．this is the second time that Abraham Lincoln has been chosen as America’s greatest president B．Edna Medford didn’t take part in the study conducted in 2000． C．George H.W．Bush was thought to have done worse in office than George W．Bush D．Harry Truman was rated the fourth-best president by the study 2.Which of the following belong to the ten leadership qualities considered? a．Being able to persuade the public b．Taking effective measures during a financial crisis． c．Balancing home life and career． d．Pursuing equal justice for all． A．a,b,c B．b,c,d C．a,b,d D．a,c,d 3.Who is rated worst among the following four presidents?
