Throughout all the events in my life, one in particular sticks out more than the others. As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.

It was my twelfth year of dancing. I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.

However，I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer（编舞者）.She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.

With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.

As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining, gold trophy（奖杯）, I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion.

On September 1, 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard and his crew spotted one of Titanic's boilers. They erupted with cheers. By the time of the crew's discovery, 73 years had passed since the ship sank. Several missions had set off to look for it, including a 1977 one led by Ballard.

In the early 1980s, Ballard asked the U. S. Navy to fund the development of the Argo, an unmanned camera sled that could be dragged behind a surface ship at depths of up to 20, 000 feet. The Navy were interested in using the Argo to survey the wrecks（沉船）of the U. S. S. Thresher and Scorpion, two nuclear submarines（潜水艇）that had been lost in the North Atlantic. They eventually agreed that if Ballard could successfully locater and map the two subs he could use whatever time left to look for Titanic.

While photographing Thresher and Scorpion, Ballard noticed that the current had carried debris（碎片）from the ships as they fell to the seafloor, treating a long chain. With this in mind, he decided not to search for Titanic's main body. Instead, he would use Argo to search for its much larger debris track, which might stretch as far as a mile. Once he found it, he could use it to track down the ship itself. With the new approach, after a few days, they discovered the boiler. Argo stalked the debris track, and the following morning, Titanic's bow came out of the inky depths.

The Titanic lies now in 13, 000 feet of water, "Ballard said at a press conference, "There is no tight at this great depth and little life can be found. It is a quiet and peaceful place-and a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tragedies to rest. Forever may it remain that way."

28. Why did the Navy support the development of the Argo?

A. To develop underwater robots.     B. To locate the wreck of Titanic.

C. To find two nuclear submarines.    D. To map the North Atlantic.

29. What gave Ballard inspiration for the new search method?

A. The 1977 search attempt.      B. The surface ship with the Argo.

C. The photographs of Titanic.     D. The debris chain of the submarines.

30. What does the underlined word “stalked” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Traced.    B. Recognized.   C. Cleared.    D. Dragged.

31. What is the purpose of Ballard's statement at the press conference?

A. To share the exact position of Titanic.   B. To advocate leaving Titanic undisturbed.

C. To launch surveys on sea tragedies.    D. To show respect for Ballard's crew.

D

Our world is filled with sounds we never hear. But even within our hearing range, we select, focus on, and pay attention to only a few sounds—and block out the rest. We are so disturbed by sound that we continually “turn off”. In the process, however, we shut out the splendid symphony of sound in which the living world is bathed.

Everything becomes more real when it’s heard as well as seen. It is, in fact, quite hard to really know a person by sight alone, without hearing their voice. And it’s not just the sound of the voice that informs. Even the rhythm of footsteps betray（暴露）age and variations of mood—depression, anger or joy. Some people, for example, possess the ability to enter a crowded room and from the sounds know immediately the mood, pace, and direction of the group.

Everything that moves makes a sound, so all sounds are witnesses to events. If touch is the most personal of senses, then hearing—which is a sort of touching at a distance—is the most social of the senses. Sounds warn us of happenings. Even as we sleep, the brain is alarmed by certain key sounds. A mother wakes at the cry of her baby. The average person is quickly aroused by the sound of his own name.

Hearing can also bring calm and comfort. The sound of firewood in the stove, the whisper of a broom, the whistling sound of a drawer opening—all are comforting sounds. In a well-loved home, every window produces a click. The kitchen by itself is a source of many pleasing sounds too.

Unluckily it’s possible that hearing will weaken even further in the future, as civilization becomes busier. When too much is going on, we learn to ignore the sound around us and with it, much that could give us pleasure and information. That’s too bad—because there’s a wisdom in hearing.

32. Why do we ignore beautiful music around us?

A. It is mixed with other useless sounds.   B. It is too unique to be recognized by us.

C. We have difficulty in enjoying nice music.

D. We are bored to be troubled by unwanted sounds.

33. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?

A. To explain how moves make sounds.

B. To introduce different sounds around us.

C. To show the use of sounds in our daily events.

D. To make a comparison between touching and hearing.

34. What can be inferred about our hearing in the future?

A. It will bring us joy.       B. It will face challenge.

C. It will be improved.       D. It will be more important.

35. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Hearing counts a lot in our daily life.

B. We can develop hearing in different ways.

C. Different sounds around us betray variations of mood.

D. Hearing difficulties can be solved by turning off sounds.

You only want to add general information that will give the reader a high-level understanding of the text.

A. Underline important information.

B. Try to remember important information.

C. But how can you write an effective summary?
