The Power of Dream
When your dream is to become a footballer, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.
Gabriel Muniz, an 11-year-old Brazil kid, was born without feet. Although his family thought he would have serious difficulties living a normal life, he started walking before he was one year old. His mother would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. It took him a while to make the jump from walking to playing football, but he did make it. And, in fact, there’s nothing he loves more than playing football. In his school, the skillful youngster is not only the best player in his school team but also the captain of his gym team.
He knows that his disability means he’ll never be able to play for a professional football team. So Gabriel is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics (残疾人奥运会的) sport. He proved to everyone there he can go head to head with any other boy. Watching him play is unbelievable. He’s fast and he’s got a big bag of tricks—he’s very skilled and he does everything he can to copy his idol, Messi. So much so that he was invited to go to Spain to meet his idol Messi and show his talent in the Barcelona Football Club.
His coach said he is proving the disability only exists inside our heads and he is challenging the social rules.
50. What’s wrong with Gabriel Muniz?
A. He was born without feet.
B. He can’t see and hear anything.
C. He often argues with his partners.
D. He always gives trouble to his family.
51. According to the passage we can know that Gabriel Muniz ____________.
A. thinks others look down upon him
B. is a professional football player
C. prefers playing for a club
D. is a skillful football player
52. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. The boy’s family was surprised he can walk well.
B. The boy wants to play football in the Paralympics.
C. The boy has too much difficulty living a normal life.
D. The social has noticed the boy’s hard job and talent.
C
If I ask you to shut your eyes and gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny “taste buds” which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.
What You Need:
? a friend to help
? small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, banana
? small pieces of apple, raw(生的) potato, and onion
What You Do:
There are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other.
Experiment 1:
Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth.
Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it.
Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.
Experiment 2:
While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of the raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but don’t call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple!
Experiment 3: (for the brave)
Take a piece of raw onion. You don’t have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.
The Science Secret
You already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells,” and you need your nose to “taste” them. Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you don’t like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won’t “taste” it at all.
53. What is this article mostly about?
A. Why different foods can smell the same.
B. How smell changes the way people see.
C. How smell affects the way food tastes.
D. Why some things smell better than others.
54. What is the most likely reason Experiment 3 is called “for the brave”?
A. You keep your eyes open. B. You have to eat a raw onion.
C. You have to squeeze your nose. D. You do the experiment alone.
55. According to this article, what could a reader conclude about food?
A. People hold their noses to eat onions.
B. If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.
C. People need a sense of smell to taste some food.
D. If you close your eyes, food will taste better.
56. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Your Eyes Knows B. Your Nose Knows
C. Your Mouth Knows D. Your Tongue Knows
D
Jan Hargrave is a body language expert in America. I was very pleased to hear Jan Hargrave speak the other day. She explained that although our mouths may lie, our bodies do not. For the most part, we all have the ability to tell when people are lying to us by reading their tone of voice and body signals.
It was Professor Albert Mehrabian who discovered that we express our feelings and attitudes with 55 percent body language, 38 percent tone of voice and only 7 percent actual words. In other words, if I asked you how you were doing and you said “fine”, that word wouldn’t mean anything by itself. It would be your body signals and how you said it that would let me know how you were really doing.
So, can you tell when people are lying to you? Jan Hargrave says we lie with the right side of your brains, so it is our left hand that tips us off. A person touching his nose, pulling at his ear or rubbing his eye with his left hand might be lying to you. Also, a person who, in a way crosses fingers might just be lying.
Here are some things we do to shut people out. We continually look at our watch. We fail to make eye contact. We fail to look up from the paper or away from the TV. Our body is leaning away from them.
By paying attention, we can open these important lines of communication and see the truth more clearly. I think it would be a mistake to use these tools to control or lie to people, but we need to realize the signals we are giving so we can show people that they really do matter to us.
57. What does the underlined sentence “it is our left hand that tips us off” in the third paragraph mean?
A. Our left hand is more faithful than our right hand.
B. Our left hand is connected with the right side of our brains.
C. Our left hand can tell people that we are lying.
D. Our left hand shows our feelings in a negative way.
58. Which of the following do we do to shut people out, according to the fourth paragraph?
a. look at our watch continually
b. fail to look up from the TV
c. stare at people for a long time
d. lean away from people
A. abc. B. abd. C. acd. D. bcd.
59. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To advise people to act more than they speak.
B. To compare different body signals.
C. To explain how people express their feelings.
D. To make people realize the importance of body language.

You have been thinking about it all week. It kept you awake last night. Now, as you walk to the front of the class, your throat is dry and your stomach feels funny. 60 . However, by making a few small preparations and rehearsing (预演) carefully, you too can be a public speaking star.
61 . Being excited about your topic is necessary for all the good speeches, so it’s important to choose carefully. If you enjoy your topic, your audience (观众) will, too. Even if you are given a topic, try to find something about it that is exciting or funny.

Finally, rehearse（预演）. You really need to rehearse a lot. Measure your speech with a watch, and practice in front of a mirror. 63 .
If you have followed all these steps, you should be ready for your audience. Good luck!
