Her heart was pretty bad in the beginning and she stayed in the hospital for a month. The first few years
11、 were very difficult because she was very sick. She had five operations(手术) before she was three years old. She had trouble walking, playing with other children, and going to school. Although Gina couldnt laugh and talk, we all knew that she just needed love and care. Our parents wanted to take Gina
12、 to a special place in Florida. There she could swim with dolphins. Gina was afraid of swimming with them because she had never been around dolphins before. We had also never traveled that far as a family. When we got to Florida, we saw where the dolphins lived. It was a place where kids with specia
13、l needs like Gina could come and spend time. I thought it was going to be a vacation, but it wasnt. Gina had to work hard every day for a week. The trip was amazing. Gina laughed and clapped when she saw the dolphin. The dolphin splashed（溅起水花） when it saw Gina. They swam together all day. Gina was a
14、ble to move her body more than she normally did at home. Mom and Dad were proud of Gina. I was , too.21. We know from the text that Gina_.

16、k B. dolphins can treat many illnessesC. families should travel together often D. help sometimes comes in unusual formsBStop Spam(垃圾邮件)! When I first got an email account ten years ago，I received communications only from family，friends，and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my email，I
17、have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want email to continue to be useful，we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件)a crime. If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam，the problem will certainly get much worse. Compu
18、ter programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of emails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products，individual(个人的) email boxes are often flooded with spam emails. Would people continue to use email if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam
19、 each time? This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on email for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local commun
20、ications networks，and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies，which are，in the end，passed on to the consumer.
21、 For these reasons，I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined，and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. Email is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently，but spam is destroying this convenience.25. What d
22、oes the underlined word “correspondence” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?Amessages Bideas Cconnections Dprograms26.

34、be enjoyed. Theres no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back thats even better.

35、 of dying to joy of living.

40、ay, and how out of control their lives felt to them.
