　　A

　　Mary Moe may look like an average grandmother．But she is not．She just learned how to

　　fly an airplane，a dream she has had since she was a little girl．But Mary Moe could not find

　　time to make her dream come true．At age 34，she was just too busy to think about flying a

　　plane．Lessons were costly．Everything seemed to be working against Mary．So her dream had

　　to wait．

　　Mary Moe has done a lot during the past 91 years．For much of that time．she wanted to

　　fly, but never had the chance—until now．

　　MS．Moe learned about Wish of a Lifetime．a non-profit organization．Its goal is to change

　　the way our society thinks about aging and older adults．Sally Webster works for the group．She said Ms．Moe’s wish is one of hundreds they receive each year．

　　Wish of a Lifetime helps older people to enjoy a dream．It also sends the message that it is

　　never too late for a dream．But Ms．Webster says it also wants to send another message to

　　society that older Americans can achieve things just like younger Americans can．

　　Susie Danick also believes in this goal．She founded TAD Relocation，a business that

　　helps senior citizens when they move．Ms．Danick gave$5．000 to the wish of a Lifetime to

　　help seniors realize a dream．Mary Moe was one of them．

　　Mary Moe received three flying lessons．And on the big day of her first flight，her family

　　and friends all came to cheer her on．Mary’s success made everyone around her excited and

　　proud．It was just a great event，a great day．Flying teacher David Waksberg says she was very

　　calm，which is always important when you’re flying．

　　It is never too late to spread your wings and try something new．You are never too old to

　　try to make your dreams come true．

　　21．Why was Mary Moe’s dream difficult to come true?

　　A．No pilots were willing to help her．

　　B．She did nothing for flying lessons．

　　C．Her family did not support her wish．

　　I wished I had known earlier the fact that I was a low achiever because there was a reason beyond my control．Then I needn’t have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties．But I just didn’t know that．I was writing and writing．I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me．

　　Most people who go through university read at least twice as fast as I do．I can never tell my left from my right．I avoid dialing a telephone if I can help it，because I sometimes have to try three times before getting the number right．I hear that recording“The number you have reached is not in service”more than any man on earth．

　　Despite my weaknesses I view my dyslexia(difficulty in reading)as a gift，not a curse(诅咒)．Many dyslexics are good at right brain，namely abstract thought，and that is what my king of creative writing is．I’m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn’t exist before．That’s my strong point．I owe my career to Ralph，Salisbury, my writing instructor at the University of Oregon，who looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement and hope．I just carried on and never looked back．I’m also very“visual”．This means nothing in school，but when I write books or scripts，I’m seeing everything in my imagination．I write quickly．I go like the wind and can get up to 15 pages a day．Writing is not the problem．I have no problem downloading；it is inputting where things get messed up.

　　The real fear I have for dyslexics is not that they have to struggle with messy input，but that they will quit on themselves before they finish schoo1．Parents have to create victories whenever they can，whether it is music，sports or the arts．You want your dyslexic child to be able to say,“Yeah，reading is hard．But I have these other things I can do．”

　　28．From Paragraph 3 we can know that__________．

　　A．the author often complained about his dyslexia

　　B．the author was grateful to his writing instructor

　　C．the author had trouble with both inputting and outputting

　　D．the author wrote slowly because of his problem in inputting

　　C．they should put their hearts into readingD．they had better choose to drop out of school

　　30．Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the main idea of the passage?

　　A．Reading enriches the mind．B．He who laughs last laughs best．

　　C．Where there is a will，there is a way．

　　D．When God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window．

　　31．What kind of man is the writer?

　　A．Clever but selfish．

　　B．Diligent and generous．C．Open-minded and optimistic．D．Kind but useless．

　　D

　　The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea，Liberia，Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world．

　　The outbreak is unprecedented both in infection numbers and in geographic scope．Officials from the World Health Organization(WHO)said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”，reported CNN．So far, the battle against the virus doesn’t appear to be slowing down．

　　The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes：It’s a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever, severe diarrhea(腹泻)，vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims．

　　It is understandable for people to be panicked，but those living outside Africa shouldn’t be particularly concerned about contracting the virus，says a Washington Post article．

　　This is because transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an infected person’s blood，vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious(接触传染的)．It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers．The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing．

　　Media outlets in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines，wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries．

　　James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic，but it is important to keep a sense of proportion．Other infectious diseases，including common influenza，are far, far deadlier．

　　Ball points out that since the Ebola outbreak began in February, around 300，000 people have died from malaria(疟疾)，while tuberculosis(肺结核)has likely claimed more than 600，000 lives．Ebola is not even close to being the biggest problem in Africa right now．

　　32．What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in Africa?

　　A．The fight against it is slowing down．

　　B．It has caused thousands of African deaths．

　　C．It has already traveled to the US and the UK．

　　D．Its spreading speed is beyond people’s imagination．

　　33．The Ebola virus is terrifying because______．

　　A．it is easily infectedB．it cannot be cured at the moment

　　C．it spreads faster than any other infectious disease

　　D．it has caused more deaths than other infectious diseases

　　34．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means__________

　　A．keep silent

　　B．keep a secretC．stay calm

　　D.

　　stay away from it

　　35．What is the author’s attitude towards people's panic?

　　A．Understandable．

　　B．Supportive．

　　C．Objective． D．Doubtful．

　　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。

　　Great Ways To Challenge Yourself

　　There’s a famous quote that can spark an interest to challenge yourself within you：“If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you，then it doesn’t change you.”It means if you don’t change yourself, then you can’t be responsible for changing your situation in life.

　　36 So challenge the following limits：

　　Figure out what you’re scared of—and do it consistently.

　　If you're in sales，and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone，now instead of crippling in fear and automatically thinking you’ll fail，spend at least five minutes a day to pick tip the phone and make a call to a prospect．Yes, it's scary．37 But don’t stop on the first try just yet! You’ll get the hang of it eventually．After a while，you can look at fear in the eyes and say，“Go on，I’m not scared!”

　　38

　　Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career．You have to relax and de-stress while

　　performing this．Some examples might be cooking，sewing，painting and so on. Aside from helping you challenge yourself now，taking a class for your hobby can also give you extra

　　income if you learn how to monetize it．

　　Dedicate at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise．

　　You don’t need to go to the gym．

　　39

　　Exercise can not only help you maintain your

　　regular weight but also make you feel better about yourself．

　　Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.

　　Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers．Try to collect with the service staff．You never know what kind of people they’re going to be．Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class． 40 We all need a little push once in a while．

　　A．You should do it continuously．

　　B．And someone may hang up on you．

　　C．Running in the gym may be a better choice.

　　D．Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to pursue．

　　E．Start now and learn to challenge yourself from time to time．

　　F.

　　A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.

　　G.

　　You can never see any improvement in your life if you stick to your comfort zone．
