It was “Disabilities Day at the Capitol ” and I was there, along with hundreds of Georgians, hoping to get the attention of our legislators ( 立法者). My thoughts ran back to the days when I was struggling to deal with my hearing loss learning, often dependent on others to help me hear. Now I stood under the gold dome of the Georgia Capitol, a member of the disabled community claiming the rights of people with disabilities.

After the rally (集会) I followed the crowd across the street to a free lunch. Although the crowd was huge, I managed to find a place to sit. I introduced myself to the young woman on my right, Kendall. However, with my hearing loss and her serious speech disorder, a conversation with her was next to impossible.

After a few moments, I realized that Kendall’s personal attendant (护工) was not present. I asked if anyone knew where she was and found out there had been a family situation and the attendant had to leave. “But,” I said, “who’s going to feed Kendall?” My thoughts were racing: someone had to help Kendall. In admitting her need I had to at once declare my responsibility to help.

Surprisingly, Kendall spoke clearly with her eyes. It was those eyes that spoke to me that day as we were waiting for lunch. I asked if I might serve her lunch. She nodded “Yes!” and her eyes said “Thank you!”

Helping Kendall that day shows an important belief of my life: We need each other. With or without a disability, it is our need for each other that makes us have a good life.

C. Because they spoke different languages. D. Because they both had certain disabilities.

6. How did the author help Kendall?
   1. By calling her family. B. By feeding her lunch.

C. By admitting her need. D. By finding her attendant.

7. What does the author intend to tell us through the text?
   1. We need each other to live a good life.
   2. We should support people with disabilities.
   3. People with disabilities should help each other.
   4. People with disabilities should learn to be independent.

One of India’s longest and strongest heat waves in decades, with temperatures reaching 123°F (51° C) has killed at least 36 lives since it began in May, and the government has warned that the suffering might continue as the arrival of monsoon (季风) rains has been delayed.

India’s heat waves have grown particularly strong in the past decade, killing thousands of people and

affecting an increasing number of states. This year, the extreme temperatures have struck large parts of northern and central India.

Anup Kumar Srivastava, an expert at India’s National Disaster Management Authority, said the number of Indian states hit by heat waves was expected to grow to 23 this year from 9 in 2015. He said, “This year, the number of heat wave days has also increased — and it’s not just day temperatures, night temperatures have also been high.” He added that the coming storms would bring down temperatures in some areas, but that heat waves might pick up again until the monsoon rains arrive.

India’s Meteorological Department warns that extreme heat brings a very high likelihood of developing heat illness and heat stroke in all ages. Medical authorities have canceled leaves for doctors at hospitals in Churu as the number of patients has soared. Schools in central India have remained closed.

In the capital, New Delhi, temperatures reached a record 118.4°F (45°C) on Monday, June 10. Clouds on Tuesday promised rain, but largely failed to deliver. Dust storms the next day lowered temperatures to around   100 °F (38°C).

Heat records around the world are more likely to be broken as average temperatures climb upward because of rising greenhouse gas emissions.

8. Why might India’s heat waves continue according to the government?
   1. Because clouds have failed to gather. B. Because there are fewer dust storms.

C. Because temperatures stay high day and night. D. Because monsoon rains have come later than usual.

9. What does the underlined word “soared” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
   1. Stayed low. B. Increased sharply. C. Remained the same. D. Decreased slightly.
10. What was the weather of New Delhi most probably like on June 11th?
    1. Dry. B. Cloudy. C. Rainy. D. Cool.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
    1. India has Become the Hottest in History.
    2. Heat Records Around the World Are Broken.
    3. 36 Died in India with Temperature Shooting up to 123°F.
    4. Indian Government Took Measures to Handle Heat Waves.

Thanks to China’s anti-poverty policy, great changes have been taken place in my hometown in the past decade, especial in the living conditions. Take my grandparents’ home in the countryside as a example.
