I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head．Now I am thirty-two．I can 31 remember the brightness of sunshine and what red color is．It would be wonderful to see again, 32 a disaster can do strange things to people．

It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to 33 life as I do if I hadn't been blind． I believe in life now．I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, 34 . I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes． I simply mean that the loss of them made me 35 more what I had left．

The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was 36 . If hadn’t been able to do that, I would have 37 and become a chair rocker for the rest of my life．When I say 38 in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down a(n) 39 staircase alone．That is part of it．But I mean something 40 than that: an assurance that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

It took me years to discover and 41 this assurance．It had to start with the most e4mentary things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball, I thought he was laughing at me and I was 42 ．\．\． Take it with you;' he 43 me．t（ and roll it around． \The words 44 in my head． \ 45 where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought 46 : playing baseball．At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I 47 a successful variation of baseball． We called it ground ball．

All my life I have set ahead of me a series of 48 and then tried to reach them, one at a time．I had to learn my 49 ． It was no good trying for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure． I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made 50 . 31．A．entirely B．nearly C．vaguely D．simply 32．A．and B．but C．so D．for 33．A．assess B．fear C．enrich D．love 34．A．otherwise B．therefore C．however D．besides 35．A．understand B．appreciate C．possess D．accept 36．A．enough B．specific C．tough D．basic 37．A．survived B．escaped C. collapsed D．sacrificed 38．A．hope B．power C．courage D．belief 39．A．unfamiliar B．unbelievable C．unexpected D．uncomfortable 40．A．harder B．bigger C．warmer D．heavier 41．A．weaken B．strengthen C．sharpen D．brighten 42．A．upset B．flattered C．ashamed D．hurt 43．A．urged B．promised C．convinced D．advised

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选叭A、B、c和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

At a recent visit to the beautiful Keukenhof flower gardens in Holland, I learned about the practice of topping．As flowers grow, sometimes the growers cut off the tops of the flowers, which they believe causes the plants to invest more energy into flower growth and less into seed production．The expected result is flower buds that will produce higher quality flowers．

This is the same with personal growth．Sometimes when we produce first results in a certain area, it can be helpful to cut them off and throw them away．This can free up energy for a stronger attempt elsewhere instead of settling into the comfort zone of satisfaction with the old results． After running my computer games business for 10 years and generating satisfying results with it, I decided to drop it and leave that field behind．This freed up my energy to focus on my personal development writing and speaking． If I'd kept running the old business, this would have meant less energy to invest in my new path．

It can be difficult to choose the topping approach because you're taking something that's already reasonably satisfying and cutting it out of your life, in the hopes that something even better will grow in its place．

Do you want to settle where you are right now? If so, then topping is unnecessary． But if you'd like to do better and believe you have a good shot at improvement, just like the flower growers at Keukenhof, then topping is a sensible practice．To free up time and energy for future growth in new directions, you have to drop the merely satisfactory．This gives you a shot at the truly beautiful．

Stepping outside of your comfort zone is by definition an uncomfortable experience, but it can yield a lot more growth than staying put．Though dropping satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, I do find it to be the more beautiful path．

51．By using metaphor, the author means that the tops of flowers are ____． A．personal growth

B．his writing and speaking C．a stronger attempt elsewhere

D．the first results we produce in a certain area

52．If you believe that you \ A．you have a strong ability to improve B．you have a good chance to improve C．you are good at improving D．you are fond of improving

53．The author calls on the readers through the passage to ____． A．settle where they are
