I myself went through this 1process(过程) and found something that has changed my experience at college for the better: I discovered ASL-American Sign Language.I never felt it necessary to learn any sign language before. All of my family members can hear, and so are all my friends. The 2language was enough. Little by little, I discovered my 3for ASL.The 4began during my first week at college. I watched it carefully when the ASL club performed their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the idea of communicating without speaking attracted me. What I saw was completely different from anything I had experienced in the past. This new form of communication just made me want more.After that, feeling the need to 5further, I decided to join one of ASL clubs. I only learned how to express my feelings 6my hands about the letters that day. Although my process was 7, I wasnt disappointed about it. I then tried my best to take part in those clubs meetings and learned all I could.The following term, I decided to be a member of an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking wasnt 8.

Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didnt think he worked hard enough.Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.（1）Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?A . Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.B . Because he did something wrong.C . Because the teacher was happy with his progress.D . Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.（2）If a student in the USA gets “OK” in his schoolwork, it means _.A . he gets top scoresB . he gets medium scoresC . he gets extremely bad scoresD . he gets the worst scores（3）The underlined words “high expectations” in this passage means “_”.A . 很高的待遇B . 很多的自由C . 很高的期望D . 很多的关爱（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us _.A . the differences between Chinese education and American educationB . Chinese students are better than American studentsC . American parents are not strict enough with their childrenD . whats the best way to educate child13. （10分） One morning, a blind boy sat beside a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognizedhis footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I cant see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beautiful day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.（1）From the article we know that_.A . the boy always has a hat on his headB . the man is one of his neighborsC . the boy is blind and needs helpD . the boy works for the man（2）On the sign what the man wrote was, “.”A . Treasure what we have already hadB . Today is a beautiful day, but I cant see itC . We are so lucky that we are not blindD . Try your best to help those who need your help.（3）According to the article, which of the following is TRUE? A . The hat began to fill up after the man wrote some words on the sign.B . The man took away all the few coins from the hat.C . The boy wanted to get enough money to go to school.D . Nobody wanted to give any coins to the blind boy.（4）The word “recognized” here in Chinese means _.A . 承认B . 接受C . 表扬D . 认出（5）_ is the best title (题目) for this story.A . Be careful not to be blind.B . Be creative. There is always a better way!C . Be kind to the blind!D . Dont always get, but offer!14. （10分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the Sol-4. It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker. The Sol-4 works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much friendlier than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $ 2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.（1）This passage is mainly about .A . solar cookersB . smoke pollutionC . solar power expertsD . breathing illnesses（2）The Sol-4 is mainly used to .A . shorten the time of cookingB . reduce the cost of making cookersC . raise money through donations to help African peopleD . reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke（3）The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “ ”A . cookersB . mirrorsC . peopleD . experts（4）Which of the following about the Sol-4 is TRUE?A . It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B . It can work in any weather condition now.C . It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D . It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.（5）From the passage, we can infer that .A . the Sol-4 will be designed in a smaller sizeB . more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC . the Sol-4 is the first product of the South African companyD . the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers15. （50分）判断正误。（正确选择A，错误选择B）Want to say hello from Disneyland?

By law, people had to write their note on the front on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards.
