14．Back in the fifteenth century，in a village near Nuremberg，lived a family with eighteen children．Eighteen!In order to support such a big family，the father worked almost eighteen hours a day．Despite their hopeless condition，two of the children Albrecht Durer and his elder brother Albert Durer had a dream．They both wanted to become artists．，but they knew full well that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy（�？茖W(xué)院）．
After many long discussions，the two boys finally worked out an agreemet．They would toss a coin．The loser would go down into the nearby mines and，with his earnings，support his brother while he attended the academy．Then，when that brother completed his studies，in four years，he would support the other broter at the academy．
Tossing a coin，Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg．Albert went down into the dangerous mines and，for the next four years，supported his brother，whose work at the academy was very good．By the time he graduated，he had earned considerable money for his works of art．．
When the young artist returned to his village，the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht's homecoming，where Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of support that had enabled him to achieve his ambitio．"And now，Albert，it is your turn．Now you can go to Nuremberg to go for your dream，and I will take care of you．"
Tears streaming down his pale face，Albert sobbed，"No …no …no …no，It is too late for me．Look …look what four years in the mines have done to my hands!I have been suffering from arthritis（關(guān)節(jié)炎） so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast．I cannot paint with a pen or a brush．"
To show thanks to Albrt for all of his sacrifice（犧牲），Albrecht Durer drew his brother's damaged hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward．He called his powerful drawing simply"Hands，"but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it"The Praying Hands．"
The next time you see a copy of that touching creation，take a second look．Let it be your reminder--no one ever makes it alone!
28．Why did the two brother work out the agreement？C
A．They were so curious as to make a bet．
B．One of the brothers should go down to the miners．
C．Their family couldn't afford their attending the academy
D．They wanted to support the other sisters and brothers．

A．He did perfectly well at the academy．
B．He began to earn his living after graduation．
C．He wanted to support his brother after graduation．
D．He created a great piece of work The Praying Hands．

4．The UK government has begun a campaign to help people with disabilities get into the workplace．The campaign includes a plan to offer disabled young people new internships（實(shí)習(xí)）and training to help them find jobs．Ministers want firms to change their employment policies after government research showed that employers'attitudes were a barrier to disabled people．
An advertising campaign for the initiative（倡議）was announced to the public in London on Thursday at a disability employment conference．The campaign will ask employers to recognize the talents that disabled people can offer，and"challenge some of the prejudices．"
Prime Minister David Cameron said，"This isn't just about doing what is right for disabled people．Employing disabled people makes business sense，too．We need to deal with the complexities of employing disabled people，or put it more simply，to give employers more confidence．"
As part of the new initiative，a government-funded scheme will be available to 16-to 24-year-olds who have complex learning difficulties and disabilities．Youngsters who sign up for an internship，which will be run by further education colleges，will get help from expert career coaches and work for at least six months．Under these"traineeships"，young people will get assistance in writing a CV，interview practice，work placements of up to five months and training in English and maths．Employers will also be given help from the same coaches and encouraged to take on disabled young people．

Last year，the government announced that 27 Remploy factories，which provide employment opportunities for disabled people，were to close．The closures followed advice by an independent review into the way the government spent its disability employment budget．It suggested that the government should use the budget to support individuals，rather than factory businesses．
26．According to government research，what has been making it difficult for disabled people to get jobs？C
A．Lack of training．

C．Employers'attitudes．
D．Lack of government support．
27．Prime Minister David Cameron thought the campaignC．

5．We all have a first and last name，or personal and family name．But for many of us，it doesn't stop there．We also have nicknames，（25）which mostly come from our real name．
Some of them are obvious．Tom is short for Thomas； Sam is short for Samuel．However，there are some nicknames whose origins are more mysterious．
Take the name William （26）as an example．It can be shortened to Will，and also Bill．But how does Bill come from William？During the Middle Ages，people like to change letters to make names easier to pronounce．For example，a hard consonant （輔音） like B is clearer than soft ones like W．Bill sounds much clearer than Will．Interestingly，the people of England even called King William III，（27）who ruled in the 17th century，"King Billy"．
Richard （28）has been（be） a popular name in England for centuries，too．It was commonly shortened to Rich and Rick to save time．Also like the name William，people liked to make rhyming names．So Rick became Dick．This nickname became so popular （29）that it is included in an idiom．"Every Tom，Dick or Harry"means everybody!
The （30）most popular（popular） name for English kings has been Henry．England has had eight king Henrys．Yet most of them （31）preferred（prefer） to be called Harry by the people．It is a tradition still held．British Prince Harry's real name is Henry．I wonder （32）whether/if Harry Potter's real name is Henry？
