It can be the 37 for each child to find their light. I would like to 38 a story about it.For a few years I was 39 with

20、 the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most 40 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We 41_ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 42 on my lap(膝上). One of her favorite songs was "John the Rabbit.

21、" It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 43 twice while singing the repeating phrase, "Oh, yes! " Vanessa liked to 44 her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But

22、 she 45 said or sang a word.One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 46 me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words " Oh, yes 1" I opened my mouth in 47 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart 48 started beating again, I lo

For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownies arrival that she started keepi

28、ng a journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories abo

29、ut animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes. Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in Japan,

30、provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshikos stories. One visitor who later appeared in several of Yoshikos stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her family

31、attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯响) when he talked. Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had. One of her favo

32、rite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm, showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others rode in the back, staring

33、 up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she used them in several

34、 of her stories. The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit of the worl

35、d and the times in which this great writer grew up. 56.

38、n in the country.B. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible. C. Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.D. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for writing sources. B Ten years ago, Pierre Omidyar,

39、 a software engineer working in Californias Silicon Valley, began thinking about how to use the internet for a trading system in which buyers and sellers could establish a genuine market price. Over a long holiday weekend he wrote the computer code. At first, a trickle of users arrived at his websit

40、eincluding his girlfriend, who traded PEZ candy dispensers. By the end of 1995, several thousand auctions had been completed and interest in eBay was growing. And it grew and grew. From this modest beginning, eBay has become a global giant, with around 150m registered users worldwide who are set to

41、buy and sell goods worth more than $40 billion this year.The remarkable tale of eBays growth points to some important lessons for any business trying to operate onlineand today that includes, one way or another, most firms. The commercial opportunities presented by an expanding global web seem almos

42、t limitless. But the pace of change is rapid, and so is the ferocity（激烈）of competition. To succeed, firms need agility(灵活), an open mind and the ability to reinvent themselves repeatedly. Most of all, they need to listen carefully to their customers, paying close attention to what they do and dont w

43、ant.Such qualities, of course, would be valuable in any kind of business. Yet for online firms they are not a luxury, but necessary for mere survival. This is true for a variety of reasons. The internet is not only growing, but changing rapidlywhich, in turn, changes the rules of the game for any bu

44、siness relying on it. The barriers to entry are still low compared with those for most offline businesses, which means that just keeping track of your existing rivals is not enough. These may not represent the greatest competitive threat tomorrow or the next day. That could come from a number of dir

45、ectionsa firm in a different type of online business; one that does not yet exist; or even from one of your own customers. On top of all this, the behavior of many consumers is constantly changing as well, as individuals discover new ways to shop and interact with each other via the web.All these fa

46、ctors make the internet a dangerous place to do business, as well as one full of promise. eBays history demonstrates both of those things. It is probably safe to say that nothing like eBay could have existed without the internetor could have grown so fast. Even though there have been signs of the fi

47、rms blistering(快速的) pace slowing a bit in America, its most “mature” market, there remain vast opportunities overseas, particularly, some argue, in China. Meg Whitman, eBays chief executive, believes the company is still only at the beginning of what it could achieve.60. What is the purpose of the f

48、irst paragraph? A. To introduce the founder of eBay and his girlfriend.B. To demonstrate how clever the founder of eBay is.C. To show how eBay started and has grown.D. To introduce eBay to people.61. Which of the following best summarizes Pierre Omidyars intention with regard to eBay? A. To set up a

49、 global internet business. B. To allow people to freely buy and sell on the internet at acceptable prices. C. To set up a mechanism on the internet to allow people to trade at true market prices. D. To se up a business mechanism for his girlfriend.62. Which of these is it NOT necessary for a company

50、 selling on the internet to do?A. Have the most competitive price for each of their online products.B. Be able to change to suit the prevailing（流行的，优势的）market conditions.C. Be prepared to consider all options and alternatives.D. Have a good idea of what their customers do not want.63. What does “bar

Internet trade is growing faster than traditional business sector.C. It is cheaper to set up an internet business than a traditi

52、onal one.D. Companies generally prefer to do business online rather than offline.64. Why does the article conclude that the internet “is a dangerous place to do business”?A. Because companies that sell online may be unreliable.B. Because there are no controls on doing business on the internet.C. Bec

53、ause doing business online is unpredictable.D. Because even companies like eBay have problems doing business online.
