8．On the first day of the 11th grade，our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem．I told him that I couldn't do it．He asked，"Why not？"I paused，and then I said，"Because I'm educable mentally retarded （可教育智能遲滯）．"
    He came from behind his desk and looked at me．"Don't ever say that again．Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality，"he said．
    It was a very special moment for me．Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade，and I was put back into the fourth grade．When I was in the eighth grade，I failed again．
    But Mr Washington changed my life．This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them，and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were．He often said，"You have greatness within you．"
    One day，I caught up with him in the parking place and said，"Mr Washington，is there greatness within me，sir？"
    He said，"Yes，Mr Brown．"
"But what about the fact that I failed English，math，and history？What about that，sir？I'm slower than most kids．"
"It doesn't matter．It just means that you have to work harder．Your grades don't determine who you are or what you can produce in your life．"
"I want to buy my mother a house．"
"It is possible，Mr Brown．You can do that．"And he turned to walk away．
"Mr Washington？"
"What do you want now？"
"Uh，I'm the one，sir．One day you're going to hear my name．I'm the one，sir．"
    School was a real struggle for me．Mr Washington put many demands on me．He made me believe that I could do it．At the end of that year，I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life．
    Years later，I produced five programs on public television．When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel，I had some friends call him．I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me．He said，"May I speak to Mr Brown，please？"
"Oh，Mr Washington，is that you？"
"Yes，it's me．You were the one，weren't you？"
"Yes，sir，I was．"
56．What does Mr Washington mean by saying"Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality"？C
A．You needn't have the same opinion as others
B．You should believe what other people say．
C．What other people say about you may not be correct
D．The doctor made a mistake．
57．What happened to the author at last？D
A．He entered a good university
B．He earned much honor．
C．He got a good job
D．He made television programs．
58．In the passage，the author implies thatD．
A．people shouldn't believe what doctors say
B．no one can be successful with hard work and confidence
C．no one is really educable mentally retarded
D．a(chǎn) good teacher can change a student's life
59．The best title for the passage would be"B"．
A．Don't believe others    
B．I am the one   
C．My best teacher      
D．I succeeded at last．

18．As the pace of life continues to increase，we are fast losing the art of relaxation．Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift，being on the go from looming till night，it is hard to slow down．But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body．
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it．In fact，it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be．A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life．It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health．
The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual．Some people are not afraid of stress，and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities．Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties．When exposed to stress，in whatever form，we react both chemically and physically．In fact we make a choice between"fight"or"flight"，and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death．The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme，but however little the stress is，it involves the same response．It is when   such a reaction  lasts long，through continued exposure to stress，that health becomes endangered．Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress．Since we cannot remove stress from our lives （it would be unwise to do so，even if we could we need to find ways to deal with it．

61．People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves becauseC．
A．they have no idea of the art of relaxation
B．they are in the habit of rushing through lift
C．they are becoming more occupied with their work
D．they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
62．According to the writer，the most important quality for a good manager is hisA．
A．not fearing stress                      B．not depending on others
C．reaction chemically and physically      D．knowing the art of relaxation
63．Which of the following statements is true？C
A．Stress is always harmful to people．
B．We can find some ways to avoid stress．
C．Different people can bear different amounts of stress．
D．It is easy to lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties．
64．In Paragraph 3，"such a reaction"refers toD．
A．"responding to crises quickly"
B．"losing heart at the signs of difficulties"
C．"making a choice between'flight'or'fight'"
D．"reaction to stress both chemically and physically"
65．It can be inferred thatD．
A．stress will surely make your health endangered
B．too much relaxation can lead to poor performance
C．it is a good idea to remove stress from our lives when we meet difficulties
D．people would face a cruder choice in ancient times when exposed to stress．

19．Some years ago，a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing together．Several minutes after her leaving，the men murdered a person working in the building．The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them．However，her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear．Several days later，psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman．His interview produced a breakthrough-the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects．The important information enabled the police to arrest the suspect and close the case．
The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive （認(rèn)知的） interview，a kind of memory-rebuilding process．Memory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information．Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress．But a person's accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques．The"cognitive interview"was developed in the late 1990s．It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions．
The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words，with no interviewer interruptions．The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques，such as having the witness tell the detail'，of what happened from different perspectives （角度）．
The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques：thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events； reporting everything that comes to mind about those events，no matter how broken it is； retelling events in a variety of time orders，such as from beginning to end，end to beginning，forward or backward； and adopting different perspectives while recalling events．
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training，while error rates remain about the same．It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony（證詞）．

60．The purpose of the passage is toD．
A．give an account of a murder case
B．help a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview
C．prove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interview
D．introduce an idea of cognitive interview
61．What is required to recall in a cognitive interview for a witness？A
A．The surroundings and feelings at the time of the event．
B．The information about the event in the time order．
C．The important things that come to his or her mind．
D．The exact time at which a murder took place．
62．The key point in a cognitive interview is thatC．
A．the interview should take place outside the police station
B．the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time
C．the witness is encouraged to take part in recalling information
D．the witness should recall details at the scene of the event
63．The underlined word"distorted"in the passage probably means"A_．"
A．changed     B．balanced    C．a(chǎn)rranged D．examined．

16．Rob Coulter worked in the wild of South Africa．He knew the animals，insects，and reptiles（爬行動物）of Africa very well．Rob knew them so well that he became careless．
One night，while camping alone，Rob reached out to pick up a large piece of wood and felt something bite his arm．Rob didn't think much about it．But a little later，his arm began to ache．When he looked closely at it，he immediately saw two teeth marks in the skin of his arm．He realized that a poisonous snake had bitten him．His pulse became rapid．
Rob's mind raced as he thought about what he had to do to survive．Rob knew that he should remain calm，stay still，keep the injured arm below the level of his heart and avoid eating or drinking anything，especially anything with alcohol in it．He also knew that cutting the wound to suck the poison out was a bad idea．

3．As a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad．I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s，with great interest．
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting．We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany．
I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad．I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to Frankfurt．We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew （工作人員）．The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is especially afraid of flying．
After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport，for our return flight．What a journey that was!All along the Rhine （萊茵河），it was simply an unforgettable experience．I had a  sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service．
Being the first airline to take me abroad，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart．Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline．Flying，in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experience．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to．

20．Once again，I was in a new school．So was a girl in my class named Lisa．That's where the similarities ended．
I was tall and she was small．My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style．Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great．I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while she was 11 and the youngest．I was awkward and shy．She wasn't．I couldn't stand her，considering her my enemy．But she liked me and wanted to be friends．
One day，she invited me over and I said yes-I was too shocked to answer any other way．My family had moved six times in six years，and I had never managed to develop any friendships．But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school．
She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places，an all-right bookstore，a movie theater and a park．As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood，I tried to guess which house might be hers．Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the three-story house with a front porch？I got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building．She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother，her stepfather，her two brothers and her sister．
When we got into the room she shared with her sister，she took out a big case of Barbies，which was my next surprise．I had never played with them．We sat on the floor，laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies．We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had wild imaginations．We had a great day that afternoon．
Lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood．The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines； the movie theater gave her free tickets…．Soon I was included in her magic world．We slept over at each other's houses and spent every free moment together．
Lisa，my first real friend since childhood，helped me get through the rough years of early adolescence and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends：your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend．
