13、的 ) things for people. For example, during holidays, such as Christmas, I would make an extra 21 along with the ones for my relatives. Then I would go and find someone in the grocery store and just hand it to them and walk away. It was so much fun. I admit, 22 , the first time I did it I was so 23 .

14、 I didnt know who to give the card to. So I said a little prayer and knew that the 24 person would just appear. About that time an elderly man ran 25 me with his shopping cart.

15、him in a different isle(过道), handed him the card, and smiled. I said Happy Holidays, and then walked away. It was so great, and the 27 I had afterwards was unexplainable.Then one day I came across your website (the coolest website ever) and 28 some Smile Cards. When they came in, I started

16、 a new project. When I go into a store, I locate a person who I think needs a 29 . Then, I buy a flower, a carnation, to be exact, and 30 it in the most beautiful paper they have. I tie lots of ribbons on it to make it 31 , and then slip the smile card into an envelope and 32 it to the flower. After

17、 that, I pay for it and explain to the cashier 33 it is to go to (I live in a pretty small town so its easy to get the help of the cashiers). They then give it to that person when they come through. Once in a while Ill buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier. That gets smiles.My favori

18、te time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the 34 somewhat confused. I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly once. When she came to the check out (I was watching from outside) her face 35 and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen. Later that

19、 week the cashier whom I had had 36 me told me that the lady had been so surprised and while she was walking out with the grocery bag to her car, she was planning what she was going to do for someone else. It was awesome.I absolutely love the random acts of kindness cards. I 37 at least two in my pu

25、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。ANow let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky （急动的） movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is kno

26、wn as the recognition span(范围 )or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop -the duration of the fixation (定位)-varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can b

27、e affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been dev

28、ised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word

29、patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive (连续的) fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but its one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a

30、 text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently (因此), for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated (孤立的) words and phrases wou

31、ld seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text. 41. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except _ .A. ones familiarity with the textB. ones purpose in reading C. the length of a group of wordsD. lighting and tiredness42. The author may believe that readi

32、ng _.A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB. requires a reader to see words more quicklyC. demands an deeply-participating mindD. demands more mind than eyes43. What does the author mean by saying “but its one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another th

33、ing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B. The reading exercises mentioned cant help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.C. The reading exercises mentioned

34、cant help to improve an efficient reading.D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve ones ability to see words.44. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye trai

35、ning.C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.D. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.45. The tune of the author in writing this article is _A critical (批评的 ) B neutral (中立的 ) C pessimistic （ 悲观的 ） D optimistic BBelow is some advice on how to prevent canc

51、I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am no

52、t so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person

53、is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a potential to live, you might call it-which I didn't see, and they made me want

54、to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed (崩溃) and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply

55、 the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance（确信） that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special

56、place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he

57、urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful
