At thirteen, I was diagnosed（診所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,”Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（點）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an ”A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:”See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because.

A. He was new to the class

B. He was tried of literature

C. He had an attention disorder

D. He wanted to take the task home

2.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A. He had good sight

B. He made a great invention.

C. He gave up reading

D. He learned a lot from school

3.What was Mrs.Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A. Angry B. Impatient

C. Sympathetic D. Encouraging

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The disabled should be treated with respect.

B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.

C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.

Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to travel.

Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don't miss the best things.

They also provide the reviews of hostels, hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.

This can be great if you're a nervous traveler, or if you haven't traveled by yourself before. If you're in a country where you don't speak the language, sometimes there's nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that's cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.

But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity (自發(fā)性) out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you'll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.

Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.

1.The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that _____.

A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook

B. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city

C. it provides lots of useful information about your destination

D. it can help you save time and money when traveling

2.People criticize the guidebook because ________.

A. it is not as useful as most travelers expect

B. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route

C. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures

D. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence

3.What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?

A. It's a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.

B. It's very useful to a person who's nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.

C. It's very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others' experiences.

D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.

4. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①－⑦ stand for

Paragraph l－Paragraph 7 )
