Theres only one place in the world other than a coffee shop that smells like that-Grandmothers house.I used to go to Grandmothers every Sunday morning. Her routine was always the same. She would kiss me once on each cheek, hang up my coat and lead me into the kitchen, slice a piece of banana bread right out of the oven, and pour a cup of freshly brewed coffee.“Alexa,” she said to me one day. “Did you know that every persons personality is like a flavor of coffee?”“Really?” I said, amused at how Grandmother loved her coffee so much that she related everything to it.“You, my dear, are French vanilla. You are sweet, almost sickeningly sweet. Your father is espresso. He es on strong. Many people dont like him, but others cant live without that high feeling that he gives them,” “Thats a lesson about life.”“A lesson about life? Are you kidding, Grandmother? You cant dissect a persons personality by paring them to a cup of coffee. People are more plex than that.” Grandmother looked at me, almost a blank, dull stare.I went to Grandmothers house many more times after that, and she always kept her same routine. She made more ridiculous claims concerning her favorite drink. “I knew your grandfather was the right man for me because we loved our coffee the same way,” she said. “Cream with just a touch of sugar.”The last time I saw Grandmother was a Sunday just like all the others. She said, “Well, Ive just been thinking lately about heavenand whats there and whats not. And I just hope that when its my time to leave this world, the next one has everything that I love here.”“And whats that, Grandmother?”“Good food, good people, and good coffee.”Grandmother passed away later that week. They found her sitting in her favourite rocker in the living room, half a cup of freshly brewed coffee by her side.Now, years later, whenever I step foot into a coffee shop, the aroma of freshly roasted beans and brewed coffee livening my senses.24.

But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only way to drive the heat away.Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes and were made from all kinds of materials. Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans marked the owners high status.

Poets in ancient China often pared a womans abandoned face to Tuanshan. A poet in the Qing Dynasty, Nalan Xingde was a typical example. He wrote, “If only life were as beautiful as when we first met, why should the autumn wind bother to pity deserted painted fans?” Meanwhile, men, especially the literati（文人）, used Zheshan. The literati liked them because Zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a, way for them to show off their skills in literature, painting and calligraphy（书法）.

For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome（学者症候群）. Savants sufferfrom a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast（显出差异）sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.Peeks unique abilities appeared at a very early age. When he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time-one page with the right eye and one with the left-in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.Dr. David Treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peeks life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek-became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overing disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone.Everyone is different.”32. The underlined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _.A. happyB. clear.C. amazingD. short33. According to the text, Peek _.A. could take care of himselfB. was born with a good memoryC. was the student of Dr. David TreffertD. became brain-damaged at 20 months old34.
