6.Like many people,I've always seen the Olympics as the"main"sporting event held every four years-the headline act-and the Paralympics(殘奧會) as something of an"add-on"-the supporting act.If you are not disabled it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes movement problems.
But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my views.I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes.Lacking physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted,they made up for them and then some.They tested their physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpses of this world never have to.
If some Olympics runners had to be double-amputated (雙側(cè)截肢),I wonder if they would tie two carbon fiber blades (碳纖維刀片) to their knees like Oscar Pistorius,also known as Blade Runner,of South Africa,and relearn everything that once came naturally.
If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind,would they have the courage to still swim fast through the water,not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool?Would any of us be brave to face a life-changing experience like a car crash?And not only get our lives back on track but then try to be the best at a sport?
"What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled?"was a question I posed today.It's not something you would normally think about.You don't watch TV as a kid dreaming to be a Paralympician.But it takes more than early mornings,training programs and special diets to get to the Paralympics.It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been worked through and overcome.
Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties.Standing at the top of a ski slope,it's a war of wills for most people to start,but Canada's Donovan Tildesley,who has been blind from birth,revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski,but he also wanted to take it up competitively.
Superheroes indeed,each and every one.The Paralympics should be renamed the"Superlympics".It's nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek"para",it's about"super"ability,courage and strength that most of us,the top able-bodied athletes of the world included,will never have to.
It's worth remembering that many Paralympics suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full.You don't get paralyzed (癱瘓的 ) sitting at home playing video games.And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop.That's we talked about"Paralympic spirit"
I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved one,we would handle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.
32.What does the author think of Paralympics athletes?A
A.They are more than heroes.
B.They are unsung heroes.
C.They are second only to superheroes.
D.They are able-bodied superheroes.
33.By saying"…and then some"(para.2),the author means thatD.
A.Paralympic athletes made up for some physical abilities
B.Not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physical abilities
C.There are some abilities that diabled athletes cannot make up for.
D.There are some other abilities besides what has been made up for.
34.What does the author imply in Paragraphs 3and 4?C
A.Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors when disabled.
B.Olympic stars'career will come to a natural end when they are disabled
C.It should be braver to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes.
D.It is anybody's guess whether Olympic stars will try to be the best at sports.
35.According to the author,what should be learned from Paralympic athletes?A
A.Overcoming their physical disabilities
B.Refusing to face what they suffer
C.Playing video games to live life to the full
D.Working their way through sporting competitions.

1.Sharks have been swimming in the ocean for millions of years.They were on Earth even before dinosaurs!At the top of the world's ocean's food chain,sharks help keep the population of other ocean animals in balance.A large drop in the number of sharks can cause(引起) serious problems for all ocean animals.Saving sharks makes sense!
Many people are afraid of sharks.But most sharks are harmless.Only a small percentage of sharks are known to attack humans.It adapt(適應) well to new habitats and eat whatever is available.However,today,sharks are in trouble.Nearly one-third of the 400 shark species are in danger of extinction,largely due to over-fishing.Each year,tens of millions of sharks are caught and killed just for their fins(鰭).The fins are used to make shark fin soup.
Humane Society International (HSI) joined with the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots and Shoots program and Beijing Zoo to protect sharks.An exhibit(展覽) at the zoo,"the Price Behind the Taste-----Protect Sharks.Don't Eat Shark Fins",was designed to tell people that shark finning is cruel and unnecessary.It's hoped that the activity will help put an end to the practice.
Shark fin soup is also eaten in the United States.In fact,the numbers of some shark species in US waters have dropped 90 percen t in the last 30 years.To slow the fall,laws against the sale of shark fins have been passed in several states,including Hawaii,Oregon,Washington,and Cali fornia.

Do you prefer to travel by plane or in train?To my opinion,there are advantages and disadvantages traveling both by plane and by train.Travel by plane is timesaving,comfortably,and you can have a good rest on the trip,but it is too expensive.Unless you travel by train,it is not expensive and quite safety and you can appreciate(欣賞) the beautiful scenery on both sides of the railway.However,it was too crowded and timewasting,and we can not have good rest.So you can see every coin has two side.You'd better to choose either of them,depending on your own interest and economy.

16.A 16-year-old in foster care has finally found a home.His adoption caseworker (社會工作者),who has known him since he was 7,will become his adoptive mother this month.
In October 2013,Davion Only spoke in front of a church congregation (會眾) in St.Petersburg,F(xiàn)lorida,and made an(41)C for adoption.He had recently learned that his(42)A mother,who'd been in jail since Only was born,had died.He had spent years bouncing between foster homes."My name is Davion and I've been in foster care since I was born,"he said."I know God hasn't given up on me,so I'm not giving up either."
The (43)D plea (懇求) went viral,and Only's foster agency (44)A calls from more than 10,000people,according to the Tampa Bay Times.Only(45)D traveling to Ohio to live with a minister's family.But after Only got into a physical(46)D with one of his older would-be siblings (兄弟姐妹),the minister and his wife changed their minds.
Back in Florida,Only passed through four different (47)D homes over the next year,until he called Connie Going,his adoption caseworker,to make a special(48)B.
Only had known Going for nearly ten years,and had asked every year if she would adopt him but she always (49)B."I always believed there was a better family than us out there,"Going tells Yahoo Parenting."He (50)D so much in this world."
But this past July,when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him,Going says something felt (51)A."In adoption there is a‘claiming moment,'when you know someone is your child.When he called me to ask,in that moment,I just knew,"she says."When he asked me,my heart felt this (52)C and I just knew he was my son."
So Going,52,invited Only to start spending time (53)B the rest of her family-the other four children who she also adopted out of foster care.(54)D,Going managed to rent a bigger home,got a lawyer,and started adoption(55)B.
Only will officially join Going's family on April 22,when the adoption (56)C."Today,I am feeling blessed and honored by being chosen to be the parent to all my children,"she says."I work every day on being the best parent I can to them,to be patient and creative so that I can (57)C all their needs."
A spokesperson for Eckerd,Only's foster agency,told the Tampa Bay Times they were(58)A with the new development."We are truly thrilled that Davion has been united with his forever family."
While Going is waiting for the newest (59)C to her family to become official in the eyes of the law,she says Only is already her child."I want him to know he is (60)A loved for who he is,the way he is,"she says."The changes he chooses to make in his life,and the choices,are his to make.As a family we will be there through it all,the good and the bad for our lifetime.He is home."
