　　Danielle Bowman is living the dream.At just 17 years old she has her own animation studio，PowerLight Animation Studios，where she has produced series，animated shows and illustrated books.Dani's success at such a young age is inspiring.And to add to the inspiration，Dani has autism(自闭症)．

　　In opening her own animation studio，not only does Dani hope to create a successful studio，but also to show the world that autism isn't a disability.

　　With television shows like America's Next Top Model casting people with autism and with books such as Jodi Picoult's House Rules，autism awareness has been getting more and more recognition.

　　Autism is a developmental disorder that appears early on.Living with autism makes it hard to engage in social interaction and delays communication skills.

　　While there are varying degrees of autism，children and adults with autism have the possibilities to do everything that

　　people without autism can do.Dani's animation studio is proving just that!

　　Dani became interested in animation when she was 11 years old，partially due to her love of anime like Pokemon.“I've always enjoyed drawing and creating，and would sketch out a whole series of characters on a sheet of paper and leave them all over the house，”Dani said.Her first animated series was Gemstar & Friends，written at age 11.Now Dani is up to 8 original series that she writes，animates and voices.

　　Dani draws inspiration from some of her favorite animated characters，including characters from Tangled，Gnomeo & Juliet，and Puss in Boots.

　　When Dani was 14，her animation hobby became a real job with many incoming clients.Her first professional project was working on the music video The Cave，produced by Joey Travolta.“Since then，I have illustrated two anti­bullying

　　books for Picalata Press，won several awards for the autism

　　awareness short Eeya's Story and completed several commercial projects，”Dani said.

　　For Dani，one of her favorite things about animation is telling stories.“What I love most about animation is creating the wonderful characters and virtual worlds，or alternative universes.”

　　Dani has even done numerous speaking engagements herself，talking not only about her animation，but also about changing the concept people have about autism.

　　Dani's initiative to help others with autism doesn't stop with her speaking engagements.One of her goals ever since starting her own animation studio has been to employ other people with autism.

　　She currently is training her first employee，and mentoring two others with autism.

　　While Dani hopes to change the concept people have about autism，another goal is“to find the treatment for autism，not for the ones who are already autistic，but for the future generations so they can more easily overcome the challenges of the condition”.

　　【解题导语】　Dani用她的所作所为向人们证明患有自闭症的孩子可以和正常孩子一样的优秀。

　　【长难句解读】　In opening her own animation studio，not only

　　does Dani hope to create a successful studio，but also to show the world that autism isn't a disability.

　　分析：句中not only...but also...连接两个并列的动词不定式短语充当hope的宾语，其中not only放句首引起部分倒装。

　　1．Which of the following descriptions about autism is NOT true?

　　A．Autism is a developmental disorder which appears at an early age.

　　B．People with autism usually have difficulty in communicating with others.

　　C．In fact if treated at an early age，autism can be cured.

　　D．It is hard for people suffering from autism to participate in social activities.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知选项A、B和D都是正确的描述，而C选项文章未提到。 ]

　　2．The passage is aimed at informing readers________.

　　A．what people with autism can do to change their life

　　B．that people with autism shouldn't be looked down upon

　　C．that people should change their concept about autism

　　D．how a kid with autism has been trying to realize her dream

　　答案　D　[推理判断题。文章旨在告诉读者一个身患自闭症的孩子是如何实现自己的理想的，故选D。]

　　3．All of the following are Dani's goals EXCEPT________.

　　A．changing people's concept about autism

　　B．curing people who are already autistic

　　C．proving that autistic people can do as well as others

　　D．employing autistic people to work in her studio

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“another goal is‘to find the treatment for autism，not for the ones who are already autistic，but for the future generations so they can more easily overcome the challenges of the condition’”可知，治愈已患有自闭症的人不是Dani的目标。]

　　4．According to the passage Dani can be best described as________.

　　A．modest

　　B．generous

　　C．ambitious

　　D．sensitive

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。结合全文，患自闭症的Dani心中仍有远大的目标，可知C项ambitious“有雄心的”符合题意。]

　　Ⅳ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension

　　Help your child improve reading comprehension—a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.

　　Have him read aloud.This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads.__1__ Provide the right kinds of books.Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren't too hard.__2__ Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.

　　__3__ To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly—a skill known as fluency.Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent.

　　Talk to the teacher.If your child is struggling hard with comprehension, he may need more help with his reading—for example, building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills.

　　Supplement class reading.If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy­to­read books or magazines on the topic.Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.

　　Talk about what he's reading.This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.__4__For example：

　　●Before: “What interests you in this book？What doesn't？”

　　●During: “__5__Is it turning out the way you thought it would？”

　　●After: “Can you summarize the book？What do you like about it ？”

　　A．Reread to build fluency.

　　B．What's going on in the book?

　　C．Look up new words in the dictionary.

　　D．Do you know all the characters in the story?

　　E．Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session.

　　F．Plus, he's not only seeing the words, but he's also hearing them.

　　G．He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.

　　答案　1.F　2.G　3.A　4.E　5.B

　　Dear Sir，

　　How are you？I'm a exchange student.I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in next term, as I find that inconvenient to share a room with others.My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise.Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturbs me a lot.So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem.If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is get a room of my own, one not in the same building but as near to the school campus as possible.I would be gratefully if you could do me the favor.

　　【参考范文】

　　Dear_David，

　　How have you been recently？I'm glad to know that you spent the Spring Festival in China，and enjoyed the traditional Chinese customs and culture.

　　As you know，happily enjoying food during the Spring Festival is one of our customs，which has been passed down since long time ago.Just as you say，some people are unaware of food waste，and they don't care at all when they can't

　　finish the food on their plates.They

　　even throw it away if they don't like the taste，especially when friends or relatives get together in a restaurant.

　　However，not all people have the habit of wasting food.The good news is that people are already beginning to take action.“Clear your plate”campaign has been promoted in some restaurants.At home or on campus，I have formed the habit of eating up the food on the plate.

　　I'm afraid I have to stop here.Look forward to your next coming.

　　Yours，

　　LiHua
