Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.
The other day I was feeling quite 11 , having just been laid off from my job. With so many 12 to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.
I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the 13 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the 14 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.
She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 15 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 16 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.
She might have felt my 17 for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked

18 and put some money in herbox and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her 19 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”
She explained to me that she sees so many 20 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 21 motivational(激励的)music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a 22 time lately, but you’ve made me 23 again.”

I told her my story and said, “I’m not so 25 about what to do….”
“You see, here’s the 26 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because 27 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 28 more … lift your head up.”
I was really 29 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚) to take part in a crowd-scene．Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things．
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold．
The next scene was a complete contrast(对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”!
45. Who is the author?
A.A cameraman
B. A film director
C. A crowd-scene actor
D. A workman for scene setting
46. What made the author feel cold?
A. The heavy snowfall
B. The man-made scene
C. The low temperature
D. The film being shown
47. What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.A new scene would be filmed
B. More stars would act in the film
C. The author would leave the studio
D. The next scene would be prepared

At home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!
Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the
第 8 页 共 8 页
translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.
Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.
I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence – “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?
48. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?
A. Confusing but amusing. B. Easy to understand.
C. Boring and annoying. D. Accurate and helpful.
49. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. taste B. look C. step D. risk
50. The passage mainly deals with ______.
A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishes
B. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant
C. a comparison between Western food and Chinese food
D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English
51. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.
A. examples and statements B. comparison and conclusion
C. causes and effects D. time and description
D
A new effort is being launched to better educate parents about the earliest signs of autism (孤独症). Doctors at Maryland’s Kennedy Krieger Institute, one of the country’s leading autism centers, say they can now identify symptoms in children at a younger age than before.
Children with autism withdraw into their own private worlds. Most children are not diagnosed until they are 3 to 5 years old, but the signs can appear as early as 6 months. “Most people use the rule of thumb that if a child is showing developmental delays before the age of 3, they’ll catch up, but children with autism usually can’t,” said researcher Rebecca Landa.
Researchers at the institute are showing in a video just what symptoms to look for, even in an infant. In about 30 percent of autism cases, researchers are now documenting what they call “regressive（倒退的）autism”. One boy documented by the Kennedy Krieger Institute was engaged and smiling at his mother at 6 months. When he reached one year, he appeared a little shy, but again, there was no reason for concern. But at the age of 2, he was totally attached to his toys and the signs in him have become more obvious. “Although causes of autism remain unknown, now you can really see autism in its full form,” Landa said.

Chloe was diagnosed with autism at 2, when she could not interact with the children around her, and she hated to be touched. But after four months of intensive treatment, her behavior improved significantly.
“She is talking now,” Landa said. “She looks to the teacher and shares enjoyment. She looks to others to know what she should be doing.” Chloe will still require many more years of treatment, but these early gains do last.
52. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of a child suffering from autism?
A. Not speaking to people around him.
B. Not making eye contact with others.
C. Acting aggressively to people around them.
D. Fixing all his attention on the objects.
53. What do the underlined words “these early gains” in the last paragraph probably refer to?
A. Many years of treatment.
B. Researches carried out by Landa.
C. The early recognition of signs of autism.
D. The cases Landa provided.
54. From the passage, we can learn that __________.
A. early signs of autism are often unnoticed or ignored
B. more and more children are suffering from autism
C. autism can be completely cured if early symptoms are noticed
D. children usually develop autism at the age of three
55. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Early Symptoms of Autism in Children.
B. Parents Should Look for Early Signs of Autism.
C. New Effective Way to Treat Autism.
D. Researchers Identify New Symptoms of Autism.

Dear Chris,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble fitting in at your new school. Such problems are quite normal. Perhaps the following suggestions may be helpful.
First, I think you may need to communicate with your classmates as much as possible. In this way, you will get to know each other better. Second, it might be a good idea for you to take part in more activities, which usually involve teamwork and interactions with other students. They are good for developing friendly relationships. Lastly, faced with some tough problems, you might consider asking your teachers, who can usually offer you some sensible suggestions.
I sincerely hope my advice will be of some help to you. If there is anything more I can do to help, please let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
