     Erik Weihenmayer was born with an eye disorder. As a child his eyesight became worse and then,
at the age of 13, he lost his sight completely. However, he did not lose his determination to lead a full
and active life.
     Erik became an adventurer. He took up parachuting, wrestling and scuba diving. He competed in
long-distance biking, marathons and skiing. His favorite sport, though, is mountaineering.

1995 and then climbed the dangerous 1000-metre rock wall of EI Capitan. Two years later, while

America．And then, on May 25, 2001, at the age of 33, Erik successfully completed the greatest
mountaineering challenge of all. He climbed Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
     Erik invented his own method for climbing mountains. He carries two long poles: one to lean on
and the other to test the way ahead of him. The climber in front of him wears a bell to gu ide him.
Erik is a good team member. He does his share of the job, such as setting up tents and building
snow walls.
      Although he could not enjoy the view, Erik felt the excitement of being on the summit of Everest.

     I'd been thinking of it so long; it seemed like the only thing to do-to show my baby, who had eyes as
green as water and whose name means the sea, the ocean.
     "Babies are supposed to instinctually know who they daddy is," Gerald, Dooriya's daddy, said,
holding Dooriya before him. "But she don't recognize nothing."
     Everybody had something to say about raising my baby, but none of them actually did any raising.
Taking Dooriya to see the ocean had become the only thing that kept me from feeling like my life was an
everlasting losing race, this vision of what could be for my little girl.When I told Momma about my plans
to visit the lighthouse (燈塔) at Cape Hatteras, she just spun her broken record.
     "That baby'11 never understand a thing of what she's seeing."
     "My baby book says I should treat her just like any other child. It's good to show her beautiful things
even if she don't know what she's seeing. It helps her brain develop. How's her brain gonna develop if all
she ever sees is the walls inside this crummy house?"
     "That child's brain ain't never gonna develop.We love her, but it's not like she's ever gonna not be a
Mongoloid (先天愚型患者)."
     I had read a half-dozen books about Down Syndrome that said stimulation (刺激) might improve a
child's chances of developing to her fullest potential. And what's more stimulating than a trip to see the
ocean?
Guidebooks described the area as the land of beginnings, which I liked the sound of. But before I could
map out a plan, I woke up one night when Dooriya hiccupped (打嗝).Then she just stopped breathing.
The ER doctor gave me a pamphlet on SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and said, children with
Down Syndrome are much more likely to be affected by this sort of thing.
     I didn't remember much about driving to Cape Hatteras, especially taking Dooriya from the hospital.
But up on that lighthouse, with its broad spiral running up and around it like a black and white barber's
pole, I saw my life twist into the air.
     As I climbed the winding stairs, I counted the steps, 268 in all, stopping on 77, Dooriya's very
number of days on this planet. At the top, I held Dooriya up to the Atlantic, its cold air raising the thin
soft hair on her head.With her eyes closed and her arms spread out, it looked like she was bathing in the
warmth of the sun.
1. From Gerald's words "But she don't recognize nothing." we know ____.
A. The baby was probably born with the eye problem
B. The father thought the baby was abnormal
C. The baby could recognize nothing except her father
D. The father made up an excuse not to care for the baby
2. Did anybody else besides her mother actually take the responsibility to raise the baby?
A. The father.        
B. The grandma.      
C. Nobody.        
D. The doctor.
3. The reason why the mother wanted to take her baby to see the ocean is that ____.
A. She believed seeing the ocean could help cure her baby's disease
B. She wanted her baby to enjoy her remaining time
C. She believed the ocean was the land of beginnings
D. She wanted her baby to enjoy nature
4. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The doctor eventually saved the life of the baby.
B. The baby was disabled by her careless mother.
C. The baby enjoyed the sunshine while seeing the ocean.
D. The disease SIDS took away the life of the baby.

railway owes me￡12," she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket
for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It
cost me 12."

     One day, when we had been riding in the burning sun for five hours, we came to a narrow, shaky bridge
where a railway crossed a stagnant (發(fā)臭的) pond. For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced
wooden sleepers under our wheels, and nothing to stop us from falling into the steaming bot below if we
overbalanced. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as hc approached the bridge
and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.
     "What's up?" he shouted, from the other side.
     "I'm not riding over that thing. If I fail, I'll be there with that cow!"
     "There's nothing to it. I just did it, didn't I?"
     "You're stronger and taller. My feet can't touch the ground. You do it for me!"
     Mat said strength didn't come into it and rode off,leaving me staring down into the sickly brown soup. He
would be waiting for me around the next corner, but I knew he would oive me at least ar hour before coming
to help. The sun burned my face; sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my shirt to my body;
mosquitoes flew into my mouth when I breathed. To stand still in this place was to kill myself; anyway, to sit
around waiting for Mat to help was more than my feminist pride could take. I rode back along the track a f'ew
hundred yards to get a good run-up (助跑) and over I went. Mat was right: all the obstacles were in my mind.

[     ]
A. she was tired and wanted to have a rest

[     ]
A. He wanted to finish the journey as soon as possible.
B. He felt she should overcome her fear by herself.
C. He didn't believe she was really afraid.
D. He knew she was too proud to accept his help.
3. What does the underlined part "sickly brown soup" in the last paragraph ref'er to?
[     ]
A. The body of a dead cow.
B. The mud on the wheels.
C. The dirty water in the pond.
