20．Last December，Doris Low turned 90．Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind （CNIB） in Toronto，where she helps transform literature into Braille（盲文） to bring the power of story and knowledge to the ears and minds of blind readers．She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years．
　　After working in the business world for a while，Low got fed up．So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library．
    Low's mother liked reading．As her eyes began to fail，Low read to her．Then"hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille，I decided to give it a try．"In 1973，she was certified as a Braille transcriber （轉(zhuǎn)譯者） and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library．
　　The job was strenuous---she could get to the end of a page，make a mistake on the last line，and have to do the whole thing again．For a number of years，Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape．Three years ago，she took up proofreading （校對） at the CNIB's word factory．
　　In April，during Volunteer Week，the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions．Thanks to volunteers like Low，the CNIB library has got more than 80，000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print．"I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proof-read over the years---and she is still doing so，"said a CNIB official．
"For me，"said Low，"the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer．Three things matter most in my life：a little play，a little work，a little love．I've found them all here．"
71．What has Low been volunteering her time and talents to for 40 years？
（ no more than 8 words）She helps transform literature into Braille （ for blind readers/the blind）
72．Why did Low learn Braille？（ no more than 15 words）（Because ） her mother's eyes began to fail ans she heard an/the advertisement．
73．What does the underlined word"fed up"most probably mean？（1 word）Hard/tiring/Tough
74．Why did Low say"the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer"？（ no more than 15 words）
she has brailled and proofread hundreds of books，and read books onto tape．
75．What do you think of Low？Give your reasons．（ no more than 20 words）Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into Braille as a volunteer．．

分析 文章講述了90歲高齡的Doris Low 仍然堅(jiān)持一周一次去加拿大用故事和知識去幫助那些文盲的人，并介紹了在做這份志愿者工作中所遇到的一些困難，而且她自己也從中獲得了快樂．

解答 71．She helps transform literature into Braille （ for blind readers/the blind）細(xì)節(jié)題．
根據(jù)第一段第2行where she helps transform literature into Braille（盲文） to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers．可知她仍然在為盲人的閱讀和知識而翻譯那些盲文．
72．（Because ） her mother's eyes began to fail ans she heard an/the advertisement．細(xì)節(jié)題．
根據(jù)文章第三段1，2行Low's mother liked reading．As her eyes began to fail，low read to her．Then"hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille，I decided to give it a try．"可知她的母親眼睛看不見了，她又聽說古人人們學(xué)習(xí)盲文的廣告，所以她決定這樣做．
73．Hard/tiring/Tough推理題．
根據(jù)下一句she could get to the end of a page，make a mistake on the last line，and have to do the whole thing again．可知如果她犯了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，那么要全部都重新來過．說明這份工作很困難，要求很細(xì)心．而且很乏味．
74．she has brailled and proofread hundreds of books，and read books onto tape．細(xì)節(jié)題．
根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段后三行I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years---and she is still doing so，"said a CNIB official．可知她為這個(gè)圖書館轉(zhuǎn)換了很多盲文書籍還為很多的磁帶配音．
75．Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into Braille as a volunteer．細(xì)節(jié)題．
她是一個(gè)很善良的人，作為志愿者她為了看不見的盲人轉(zhuǎn)換了很多盲文書籍還為很多的磁帶配音．根據(jù)文章最后Three things matter most in my life：a little play，a little work，a little love．I've found them all here．"可知她以幫助他人為樂．

14．Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer．
（31）F Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger，and scream and yell．But other people keep their anger inside．They can not or will not express it．This is called repressing anger．
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormones （荷爾蒙）．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc．（32）A
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．
（33）G They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is，they say，"（34）E Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry．（35）B

A．In general the person feels excited and ready to act．
B．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger．
C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it．
D．Anger may cause you a cancer．
E．Do not express your anger while angry．
F．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time．
G．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger．

I still remember how my spoken English improved．At the beginning，I always kept
silently in the oral class to avoid to making mistakes．Before long my teacher knew
about my situation．He encouraged me to speak out that I wanted to speak．Whenever I
made mistakes and felt discouraging，my teacher and classmates will help me find out
how I could avoid it in the future．Practice makes perfect．With time went by，I built up  my confidences，and now I can talk fluently in English．Just as sa ying goes，mistakes are where success lies．We just need to learn a lesson from the mistakes．

5．As we know，it is common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds．However，scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds．
Many people think that once you get infected by colds，you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life．That's not the case．There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold．You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time，but you might catch a cold next time because of another．
Others believe that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter．That is also wrong．
It's because people tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted from one person to another through handshakes，sneezing，or coughing．
While there is no actual cure for the common cold，scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you．Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds．Especially honey．There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children．Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold．
In addition，if you do have a cold and you don't feel like eating anything，it's not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds．That's very important．Though there is more than one way to deal with colds，doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you．
61．We know from the second paragraph thatA．
A．colds can be caused by different viruses
B．there are people who never catch a cold
C．the common cold is caused by only one virus
D．a(chǎn)ll people are easily attacked by colds
62．The underlined word"transmitted"in the fourth paragraph means"C"．
A．cured            B．changed      C．passed           D．caused
63．If you have a cold，you can do the following exceptB．
A．drinking a lot of water                 
C．forcing yourself to eat
C．eating honey                        
D．drinking chicken soups
64．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．different people may have different ways to fight against colds
B．now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds
C．working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds
D．colds can be passed from animals to human beings．
