8、umentB At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand
9、 right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
10、In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of
11、knowledge to the blind. Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way ou
12、t of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”25. The author di

15、eeds a hand when faced with challenges. D. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.CIt is well known that the Japanese peoples love of fish is almost as a bees interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from th
16、e shore. Then they had a big challenge(挑战)how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on the
17、ir boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者)，the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant
18、effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge.Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge?” May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer（战胜）
19、them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation.Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem？Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Dont
20、sharks eat fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active and alert (警觉的). The fish stay fresh because they are challenged.Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career.29. The main reason for the
21、fishing company to fish in the far sea was that .A. the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresher B. the fish resource near the shore was on the decrease C. people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh onesD. it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh30. Which of the follow
22、ing statements is true? A. The fish kept in tanks didnt sell well because of their taste.B. Japanese people love honey as much as a bee does.C. The fish stored in the protected environment tasted the best.D. The fish kept in tanks didnt taste fresh because they died before reaching the restaurant.31
23、. The underlined part of the last paragraph means “ .”A. Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in peoples lifeB. Try to find a big shark and you will meet your challenge C. If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies didD. To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet
24、 challengesDMany Western people are not used to sitting on the floor any more. In Japan, however, sitting upright on the floor is common in different situations. For example, meals are traditionally had when people sit on the tatami (榻榻米) floor around a low table. Also during the tea ceremony and ot
25、her traditional events, one sits on the floor. The formal way of sitting for both men and women is kneeling upright. People who are not used to sitting in this style may feel uncomfortable after a few minutes, and their legs may go numb. However, foreigners are not usually expected to be able to sit
26、 in this style for a long time, and an increasing number of Japanese people themselves arent able to do so, owing to a more westernized lifestyle. In other situations, men usually sit cross-legged, while women sit on their knees laying both legs to one side. The former sitting style is considered wh
27、olly male, while the latter is considered completely female. The most important guest sits on the honored seat which is set farthest from the entrance. If there is a tokonoma (壁龛) in the room, the guest should be seated in front of it. The host or the least important person is supposed to sit next t
28、o the entrance. Of course, there are other things to be considered in each particular case. 32. Which of the following situations is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. When traditional events are held. B. When a tea ceremony is held. C. When men and women meet. D. When meals are traditionally had.33.

54、hina. There are many advantages of riding a bicycle. Firstly, compared with cars powered by gas, bicycles can do good to saving energy and reducing the air pollution. Taking up less space, a bicycle also lightens the traffic jams. Most importantly, people can keep healthy by riding a bicycle regularly. In my view, the future of the bicycle will be bright because some city governments have built special paths for bicycle riders and provided “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge. Bicycles will be popular again in China.
