After that, Shania moved to Toronto, where she continued singing.When Shania was 21 years old, her parents were killed in a car accident. She had to take over the role of parent to her younger siblings(兄弟姐妹). Taking care of two teenage brothers and a sister was a Gordian knot.

D．Shania Twain’s opinion on music.C I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head．Now I am thirty two．I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is．It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity（灾难） can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind．I believe in life now．I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise．I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes．I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left．Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was luck. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it --which I didn’t see, made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was basic．If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life．When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone．That is part of it．But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance．It had to start with the simplest things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball．I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt．"I can't use this．" I said．"Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around．" The words stuck in my head．"Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball．At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball．We called it ground ball．All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time．I had to learn my limitations．It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．28．We can learn from the beginning of the passage that _______A．the author lost his sight because of a car crash．B．the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen．C．the disaster made the author appreciate what he had．D．the disaster strengthened the author's desire to see．29．What's the most difficult thing for the author?A．How to adjust himself to reality．B．Building up assurance that he can find his place in life．C．Learning to manage his life alone．D．How to invent a successful variation of baseball．30．According to the context, “a chair rocker on the front porch” in paragraph 3 means that the author __________A．would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life．B．would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair．C．would lose his will to struggle against difficulties．D．would sit in a chair and stay at home．31．What is the best title for the passage?A．A Miserable Life B．Struggle Against DifficultiesC．A Disaster Makes a Strong Person D．An Unforgettable ExperienceD The concept of good manners varies a lot when we compare different cultures, values and ways of living. However, when we talk about the western part of the world, the differences are not so big. In my opinion, going to a restaurant in Brazil will rarely be an embarrassing situation. But there are some basic and necessary rules of etiquette(礼节)that Brazilians usually respect every day. They are:●Being on time is polite, but it is not a strict rule in Brazil. Being late for up to 15 minutes probably will not make a Brazilian angry.●When you go to a restaurant, be careful to greet the people who work at the place, and don’t forget to greet the people who are already waiting for you at the table. It’s not necessary to hug or kiss everybody if they are already seated.●You can ask somebody about how the food is prepared and also about prices or tips if you are not sure about them.●Before they start eating, Brazilians usually say “born appetite” to their friend.●You should never talk to another person while you still have some food in your mouth.●Making noise while eating is also considered really rude. Avoid doing it.●Be careful not to put your elbows on the table while eating. It is not terrible, but it can be considered a little bit rude by some people.●Don't worry about the time. Usually people in Brazil stay seated for a long time, especially when they have interesting things to talk about.●It’s not necessary to talk in a really low voice because people there usually talk in a little loud voice. But please, don't exaggerate.●Finally, saying “thank you” and “bye” are always seen in Brazil.32．According to the writer, the concept of good manners in western countries is ________.A．quite different from each other B．not easy to tellC．not quite different D．exactly the same33．From the first paragraph we can know that ________.A．there are many rules of etiquette for you to remember if you go to a restaurant in BrazilB．it may easily get you into trouble if you go to a restaurant in BrazilC．it won’t get you into a difficult situation in a restaurant in Brazil if you follow some necessary mannersD．it is unnecessary to remember the rules of etiquette before going to a restaurant in Brazil34．According to the passage, it is impolite in Brazil to ________.A．talk with your mouth full B．talk in a bit loud voiceC．ignore time while chatting D．ask the prices of food35．It can be inferred that in Brazil ________.A．being late usually annoys the hostsB．guests usually hug or kiss the hosts when going to a restaurantC．it is bad manners to talk over mealsD．you’d better not ask your host how the food is prepared第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. 36． One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.
