“I’m just like you!”I wanted to scream．“The only 51 is that you’ve got legs，and that I have wheels．”
People in wheelchairs are not 52 ．They see every look and hear each word, looking out at the faces，I finally understood：I was once just like them．I treated people in wheel-chairs 53 the way they did not want to be 54 ．I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly 55 ．

Susan Williams went to a boarding schoo1．Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the schoo1．
Dear Mom and Dad，
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you．I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me．She is going to write to you．You must come and take me away from here．She does not want me in the school any longer．
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed．This is against the rules，of course．We are not supposed to smoke at all．
As I was smoking，I heard footsteps coming towards the room．I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking，so I threw the cigarette away．Unfortunately，the cigarette fell into the wastepaper basket，which caught fire．There was a curtain near the wastepaper basket which caught fire，too．Soon the whole room was burning．The principal phoned for the fire department．The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived，the whole school was in flames．Many of the girls are in the hospital．
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage．She will send you a bill for about a million dollars．
I am very sorry about this．
Much love，Susan．
P.S. None of the above is true，but I have failed my exams．I just want you to know how
bad things could have been!

Money Matters for Students
GETHNG A GRANT(补助)
Who pays?
The local education authority(LEA)for the area in which the student is living．
Who can get this money?
Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course，although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not．Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years，which can exclude some students from overseas．
SPECIAL CASES
If a student has worked before going to college：
A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money￡155 year at 26，increasing to a maximum of￡615 at 29 or more．
If a student is handicapped
LEA will give up to￡500 to help meet extra expenses----such as buying a tape recorder
for a blind student，extra heating or special food．
Banking
Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials)．A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit．Some banks allow students to overdraw by￡100 or so，and still don’t make charges (though they do charge interest．)

At 9:00 a.m. I was scheduled to talk at a local high school to students in a program designed for pregnant teens and troubled kids in schoo1．The school is highly secured because most of the kids are troublemakers who become involved with the law．I found it very difficult to address this multi-cultural group and talk about things that could encourage them for the future．I wasn’t making any progress until I started talking about what I do so well，helping people with money．
I took out a stack(堆)of $2 bills and started giving them out．The kids began to wake up because it was free money．The only thing I asked them after they took the money was not to spend it on themselves．I told them that they each had children that are unborn and，maybe，if there is anything in this world that could help them forward，it is the fact that someone cares enough to do this．
Some of them asked for my signature．I think I honestly touched some of them．I started exchanging the dollar bills for a copy of the book I had written．Finally I closed with telling them no matter what happens，someone out there really cares about them and is pulling for their success．
This is not the end of the story．When I left the classroom，I told them to call me if they ever had problems．I couldn’t promise that I could help，but I was willing to listen and to do anything in the world．
Three days later I received a letter from a girl who heard my talk，in which she wrote: The day before your talk，I had decided to take mine and my unborn child’s life because I really didn’t think anyone cared．When you told the story，it brought tears to my eyes----there are people like you that care about people like me．Thanks for caring．
64．It was difficult to address the students because__________．
A．they made trouble now and then
B．they were from different countries
C．they showed no interest in his topic

D．giving them money and books
66．The writer tried to make the students believe that_______．
A．he would always help them
B．there is true love in this world
C. money is not important
D．1ife is valuable
67．The write of the passage is most probably a__________．
A．professional writer
B．movie star
C．social benefactor(捐助人)
D．government officer
D
We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this，most people think that craft(手艺)no longer exists．
One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid，and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性)．“Homes in those days were well built，”they say．No doubt these homes were well built，but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship．
Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price．For example，most people can no longer afford solid oak(橡树木) stairways，although they were once fairly common in older homes．Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway．Yet if someone can pay the high cost，there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways．And not only would these carpenters know how to build them，they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old．
One thing today’s carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools．Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割)on the wood．Also，it is not uncommon to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics，which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs．
The problem of modern quality，then，really boils down to the problem of material，for the carpenter of today is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago，but only if given proper material．
68．Compared to the carpenters in the past，today’s carpenters are_________．
A．more successful
B． more learned
C．more imaginative
D．more hardworking
69．What does the underlined word“they”(paragraph 2) refer to?
A．Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways．
B．Carpenters who have college degrees．
C．People who think that today’s material is of low quality．
D．People who think highly of carpenters of old．
70．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?
A．People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways．
B．It is now expensive to employ a carpenter．
C．Today’s houses last as long as the old ones．
D．Good carpenters still exist in modern times．
71．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Is Craft Dead?
B．Craft，Back to Life?
C．History of Craftsmanship
D．Carpenters Today and Yesterday

The European Union’s Commission on Competition(竞赛事务委员会)ruled on Wednesday that the Microsoft Corporation has used its powerful market position illegally．It ordered the American software company to pay about 600 million dollars．
Microsoft is the world’s biggest software maker．Software is a set of orders or the parts of a computer．An operating system is a complex set of orders that control the computer，its software and other devices．Microsoft software runs more than 90％of all personal computers in the world．
The EU commission ruled about Microsoft’s addition of a media player to its operating system．A media player lets a computer play music and video through the Internet．The com- mission ordered Microsoft to make a version of Windows without the Microsoft Media Player．Microsoft has said that it is not possible．
Other software makers are increasingly using open code operating systems．Any company can make software for these systems．But Microsoft uses a secret code．The commission did not order Microsoft to share its secret code．But it did order Microsoft to share information that will permit competing companies to make media player software that works with Microsoft systems．
Microsoft says it will appeal the decision to the European Court of First Instance (欧盟初审法院) in Luxembourg．Microsoft says the commission’s actions will give European buyers fewer choices．The company says a settlement it proposed would have been better．The company had offered to include three competing media players along with Windows．
European Competition Commissioner Mario Monti says companies with powerful maker positions have a special responsibility to make sure they do not prevent competition．He says the decision keeps the conditions for fair competition．
72．The EU gave a decision against Microsoft in order to________．
A．force it to share its secret code
B．let it pay a fine of about 600 million dollars
C．protect free competition
D．stop its products coming into European markets

74．According to the EU，Microsoft_________．
A．should not use its powerful market position
B．should not add a media player to its operating system
C．should pay competing companies for its wrong doings
D．should permit competing companies to make operating system software
75．From the passage，we know__________．
A．Microsoft will pay about 600 million dollars
B．no media player but Microsoft’s can go with windows
C．Microsoft sells more than 90 % of all personal computers in the world
D．in Mario Monti’s opinion，Microsoft has gone against free competition

Things that we have used only once can be recycled and used again. We should learn to sort different waste and buy products made of recyclable materials, which are friendly to the ecosystems. The environmental problems sometimes are very serious. We should think more about nature and persuade people to be better recyclers. Only when we realize the importance of environmental protection can we care more about nature and build a harmonious relationship with our earth.
