11、h numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyl
12、er. Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a smal
13、l backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing. Tyler wasnt willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was
14、 not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tylers mom often teased him by telling him
15、 that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him. This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did hi
16、s HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasnt going to survive, Tylers mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven. A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and w
17、hispered, “I might die soon. Im not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised shes coming to heaven, too.

Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characte
28、rs. Heres my own suggestion. . . It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism. My dear husband, said his hopeful wife one day, have you heard that the local store, standing
29、 empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman? Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. But it is, it is, she replied excitedly. Mr. Dull-Husband made no reply.Dont you want to know her plans? she cried with some impatience.Well, clearly you think it matt
30、ers to your silly little head. . so Id better listen. Well, my dear, the rumor (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me”. She will move in herself next month. What is her name?Bingley. Is s
31、he married or single?What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. How so? How can it possibly affect them? My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. Is that her point in settling here? Surely
32、as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. Nonsense, my love, how little youve noticed the world has changed. Shes got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, Im told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. Me? No. Perhaps you can take an
33、 interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. Oh, thats not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think Ill go along all the same. And Mrs. Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTS
34、E-listed company. It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs. Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more female dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the citys business leaders shorter than theirs. Still
35、, shed no doubt have enjoyed Davos(达沃斯经济论坛)and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Austen was born 200 years ago.

Women with brains can also be as successful as men. B. Women have to pay a high price for success.C. A judgment must be made free from
38、 prejudice. D. Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.D When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it like its the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And
39、thats only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. Weve been scolded when we make mistakesat home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. Yet w
40、ithout mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible. By trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, an
41、d learning from those mistakeswe have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly. Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: we dont just consume information ab
42、out something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing,
43、then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something. Thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably
44、 something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if its a good journey. So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should val
45、ue mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.32. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B. Because its a natural part in our life.C. Because weve been taught so from a young age.D. Because mistakes have ruined many p
46、eoples careers.33. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction
47、.34. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means .A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to drawC. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write35. We can learn from the passage that .A. most of us can really grow from successB. g
48、rowing and improving are based on mistakesC. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD. we read about something and know how to do it right awayETHINK“ADDING VALUE”(and youll get more money) Most people either“like”their job,“love”their job or“hate”their jobEveryone wants to make more money rega

89、tell me something about health insurance inAmerica, please?M: Certainly. Most universities and colleges in theUnited Stateshave a health insurance plan for international students. It generally costs around $300 ayear now. You may think it is a waste of money, but if you have even a small medical pro
90、blem, the insurance will help you to pay the bills. So, you should take out a medical insurance policy when you arrive at the university. I am sure the International Students Office will help youwith that. Private doctors are the standard form of medical care inAmerica, but there are also college cl
91、inics, public and private clinics, etc. The quality of medical care can be very different at these different places, so it would be better if you ask an American friend for advice before going to see a doctor. Before you leaveChina, I suggest you have a check-up. If there is something wrong, you can have it taken care of in your own country.
