A German taxi-driver, Franz Busman, recently found his brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before.

While on a walking tour with his wife, he stopped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs. Bushman said that the workman was closely like her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz laughed at the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs. Bushman knew this story quite well, she thought that there was a chance in million that she might be right.

A few days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his name was Hans Bushman. Needless to say, the man’s name was Hans Bushman. And he really was Franz’s long-lost brother. When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive.

After having being wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed.

People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织）cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf.

Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.

It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.

   I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.

   Then I fainted at Eruo Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after first aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.

   I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.

   Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids – they have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?” I thought. People stared down at me, pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.

   “I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”

   People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.

28. The author once __________ when she was healthy.

   A. helped disabled people

   B. looked down upon disabled people

   C. imagined herself sitting in a wheelchair

   D. saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs

29. Facing the wheelchair for the first time, the author _______.

   A. felt curious about it

   B. got ready to move around in it right away

   C. refused to accept it right away

   D. threw it away

30. The experience of the author tells us that _______.

   A. life is the best teacher

   B. people often eat their bitter fruit

   C. life is so changeable that nobody can foretell

   D. one should not do to others what he would not like others to do to him

31. What is the best title for this passage?

   A. How to get used to wheelchairs

   B. People in wheelchairs should be equally treated

   C. People with two legs are truly healthy

   D. The difference between healthy people and the disabled

D

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers that those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.

    “A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”

    George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they can read aloud to them.

    Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy-television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.

    Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.

32. According to George, reading aloud to children____________.

A. help them correct mistakes     B. is helpful to their reading

C. is parents’ first duty to their children  D. can get children out of television’s attraction

33. The underlined word (in paragraph 4) means something that __________.

A. can improve children’s reading   B. can help children’s right way of reading

C. can make children interested in reading D. can make children not attentive

34. What does the fourth paragraph mainly want to show is important?

A. reading skills B. reading speed  C. reading materials D. reading environment

35. If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?

A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.

B. Advice is given to control their children.

C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.

D. How children improve their reading by themselves

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles away from

Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收银台）,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way to the city, and I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them, Their note that came with it said helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池）was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
