My husband and I are both musicians. I took it 36 granted that one day our daughter Holly would learn to play an instrument.
In 2000 Holly fell 37 and the doctor said she may have been left 38 deaf. “She won’t be able to hear music in any shape or form,” said the doctor. It was a great 39 .
In 2001, her right ear was fitted with a cochlear implant --- electronic equipment that provides a sense of 40 for people who are completely deaf. Seven years later, another was fitted in her 41 ear. The doctors played us a model of what music would sound like to Holly --- I was horrified 42 it was just white noise.
“Holly will hear music,” I 43 saying to myself. I tried to put what had gone wrong right, so we constantly 44 words and sounds to her. She has been having lessons since she was seven . she’s 45 all the time. I’m always surprised by just how much better she does.
When she 46 a national piano competition, the adjudicator 47 Holly for appearing to listen to the sounds she was making --- her whole body, he said to us, was 48 in the process of making music.
I 49 that the model we originally heard of how music sounds with a cochlear implant isn’t 50 holly hears it. The brain is complex and adapts to many 51 ;in some way, Holly has made 52 of it all. She loves life. She doesn’t think about what happened to her and says 53 , “I don’t want to talk about bad things. Let’s talk about good things.”
I was determined that her life would not be 54 by a miserable event, but never imagined that she could 55 what she has. I can only describe this as a miracle.

Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education. One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere. He got 10 A*s at GCSE and is currently studying English, French, Math and History at a private school in Manchester. Here is his response:
For me, the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic, but goes against the idea of liberty. We must have the freedom to choose between state-funded and privately educated schools. If parents pay taxes, surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a state-funded or a privately-funded school.
The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast. Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools. Many state schools are already overburdened; do they really need more pupils? Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated. In the times of economic crisis, should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education? There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools.
It is noted that, in general, private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools. Yet, why do people view this as a bad thing? The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle-classes do not totally abandon state education for private education. This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them! If the private schools did not exist, where would be the impetus for state school improvement?
Government should not simply ban a system which produces results. It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model. Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody, learning from a successful system will.
【小題1】In the eye of Anirudh Mandagere, parents have the right to ______.
A.criticize state-funded schools |
B.pay taxes for the promotion of private schools |
C.choose the way their children receive education |
D.a(chǎn)dvocate the competition between state schools and private ones |
A.obviously contribute to lower taxes |
B.not cause the state schools to be overburdened |
C.force the government to boost state education |
D.lead to many people losing their jobs |
A.motivation | B.prevention | C.participation | D.a(chǎn)ssessment |
A.educate a little fewer students | B.conduct better than all state ones |
C.a(chǎn)re better received by the public | D.a(chǎn)re more competitive on the whole |
A.His wonderful performance results from the education his private school offers. |
B.Without the existence of private schools, state ones wouldn’t get improved much. |
C.Private education is a good system to make students successful in life. |
D.Private schools are supposed to be sponsored more than state ones. |

“I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it was announced again."
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana -- she was still on cloud nine.
"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience (觀眾) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比賽). "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."
【小題1】What do the words "on cloud nine" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

On the first day of class, a graduate student from Xi’an Jiaotong University reminded me that, especially in China, “There are always two sides of a coin.” Experiencing China’s May 12 earthquake while living in Xi’an, Shanxi Province just north of the earthquake’s epicenter (地震的震中) in Sichuan with our two daughters, we have indeed seen both sides of what is beginning to be called China’s 5·12 disaster coin.
On television, in newspapers and through the Internet, we learned about the extent (巨大,重要性) of the destruction, and the statistics were horrific – over 69,000 confirmed (確認) dead, some 18,000 missing and more than 374,000 injured.
When we turn off the television and discuss what we as a family have learned from the events of the last several weeks, we find ourselves marveling (覺得驚奇) at how the Chinese are confidently but quietly dealing with this unprecedented tragedy – a disaster that continues with every aftershocks, mudslide and potential flood.
It seems like every school, organization and business is raising money for Sichuan, and young people all over the country are out in the streets looking for donations or giving blood at the many mobile blood vans that are out in full force.
Those who cannot give, like the 75-year-old woman from Sichuan, are volunteering or giving in other ways. An impressive example is the Sichuan policewoman with a newborn child who was nursing many infants whose mothers were killed in the quake.
The national concern over the fate of affected children has been moving. On May 22, there were 1697 orphans, but on June 24, the number dropped to 558; and rest assured, there are more people willing to adopt than there are orphans from Sichuan.
So, while no country or person ever welcomes tragedy, especially something of this magnitude (程度), the earthquake has taught us a great deal about China’s true character and its people’s resilience (韌性). It has also reminded us that the other side of even a dark coin may hold the promise of a brighter future,
(The author is an American Professor of International Relations at Xi’an Jiaotong University.)

Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite is true for men, whose long-term health benefits when they move in with a female partner.
Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.
It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.
Women still have the strongest long-term influence over the couple’s diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.
The report, by Newcastle University’s Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.
The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.
Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.
Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.
Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”
【小題1】The underlined word “l(fā)ight” (in Paragraph3) probably means _______.
A.not very heavy | B.gentle | C.less in fat and sugar | D.not serious and important |
A.eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couples |
B.women put on weight only because they want to suit their other half |
C.when men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habits |
D.it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner |
A.have to eat more unhealthy food |
B.have few changes of their dietary habits |
C.don’t like foods high in fat and sugar at all |
D.try to eat foods that their girlfriends like |
A.Don’t be silly any more, women! | B.Dr. Amelia Lake and his study |
C.Boyfriends make you fat. | D.Which are better dietary habits? |
