第二节 阅读理解

Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill, then a 17­year­old high school senior in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. “I wanted to prove to my community — and to myself — that I was still‘normal’，”she told Teen Vogue.“Whatever normal meant.”

Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in the wheelchair right alongside her non­disabled high school dance team. “It definitely took a lot of learning and practice，” Hill told Today.

After graduation, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her.

Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls the Rollettes, “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you're walking or you're rolling，” she told CBS News. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast­paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot­based variety. They're having fun, and the fun is touching.

Hill has attained what many of us never will：her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities with an eye to helping them find their inner Ginger Rogers or Julianne Hough.

The dancers aren't the only ones feeling inspired. One woman saw a YouTube video of the team competing and commented, “You guys are so awesome! To be in a wheelchair and still be so beautiful makes me know I can be beautiful too! Thank you！”

第三：书面表达

  实现有效的沟通，建立良好的人际关系，不仅要善于言表，更要学会倾听。请你根据下表中所提供的信息，写一篇题为“Being a Good Listener”的英文演讲稿。

【参考答案】：
Good afternoon, everyone!

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”.

Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship. Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.

What I want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.

Thank you for your listening!
