Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one 16 that I will never forget.

It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us about 17 things in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need. This is how the story went:

18 lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to

the underground. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 19 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at 20 street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

His 21 was dirty, and a stench （恶臭） came out. The neighbours could not bear the

22 any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and 23 the house. There were small bags of 24 all over the house that he had collected over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon 25 that the old man was a millionaire.

They waited outside his house expecting to 26 the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a 27 man now, a millionaire.

But the old man said 28 ;he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning

he woke up 29 ,went to the underground, sat at the same street corner and continued to beg.

Clearly, this old man had no great plans, 30 or anything significant (重大的) for his life.

We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing. 16. A. class B. teacher C. lesson D. study 17. A. important B. difficult C. thoughtful D. grateful

A. tell B. share C. cover D. discuss

27. A. rich B. lucky C. nice D. hardworking 28. A. thanks B. something C. nothing D. much 29. A. much later B. much earlier C. so quickly D. as usual 30. A. friends B. jobs C. chances D. dreams

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.“Mom，come here！There's this lady here my size！”

The mother rushed to her son；then she turned to me to say sorry to me.

I smiled and told her，“It's OK.”Then I talked to the boy，“Hi，I'm Dory Kramer. How are you？”

He studied me from head to toe，and asked，“Are you a little mommy？”

“Yes，I have a son,”I answered. “Why are you so little?”he asked.

“It's the way I was born,”I said.“Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any bigger.”After I answered his other questions，I shook the boy's hand and left.

My life as a little person is filled with stories like that.I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

It takes only one glance( 一瞥) to see I’m different. I stand three feet nine inches tall(=1.14 metres).I was born a dwarf．In spite of this，I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids called me names (辱骂).Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year.

But I learned to smile and face the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality. When people are rude，I remind myself，“Look what else I have－a great family，nice friends.” 34．Why did the mother say sorry to Dory Kramer?

A．Because the boy ran into the author. B．Because the boy hit the author.

C．Because the boy said the author was fatter than him.

D．Because the mother thought the boy's words had hurt the author. 35．What does a dwarf look like?

A．Of medium height. B．Very tall. C．Very short. D．Very thin. 36．When did the author realize that she was too short?

A．When she grew up.

B．When she was 47 years old. C．When she began to go to school.

D．When she met the boy in the supermarket.

37．What does the sentence “What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality”mean?

A. Although I am not tall, I often dress up to make myself different. B. Although I am not tall, I can make myself tall by dressing up. C. Although I am not tall, I try to keep it as my personal secrets.

D. Although I am not tall, I can make myself good with good personal qualities.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition（识别）programme is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.

However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94％ correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programmes may only be right 51％ of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91％ of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

38. How does the eye-recognition programme work?

A. You write your number. B. You show your ID card. C. You look at the machine. D. You say your name. 39. Why can the programme be up to 94％ correct? A. Because eyes never change.

B. Because hands or fingers can get dirty.

C. Because people like the idea of the programme.

D. Because the programme is widely used around the world. 40. Which of the following is true?

A. The programme is being tested in Japan.

B. Machines with other systems can also tell who you are. C. 91％ of people like the idea of the programme.

D. Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes. 41. What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Introduction to some kinds of programmes. B. Introduction to the eye-recognition programme.

C. The way how the eye-recognition programme works. D. The places where the eye-recognition programme is tested.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended（假装） not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker（股票经纪人）. I said in a voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.” And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he doesn’t send me the check. It’s already two
