It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 11 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 12 situation that has designed for the average children.

There can be little doubt that special classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these __ 13 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.

I observed a number of 14 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 15____ class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying heavily on their teachers’ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 16 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.

Many are concerned that gifted children become 17 and lose interest in learning. However this concern is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 18 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are talented . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 19 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an 20 child.

11. A. principle B. theory C. arguments D. classification

12. A. designing B. grouping C. learning D. living

13. A. children B. programs C. graduates D. designs

14. A. intelligent B. competent C. ordinary D. independent

A

After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

41. The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that .

A. a terrible traffic accident happened to him

B. he had to live in a dark and silent world

C. he was struck by the lightning once more

D. nobody in the world cared about him

42. What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?

A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree. B. Driving a car.

C. Taking a walk with a stick. D. Lying on the ground.

43. What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock?

A. His wife. B. His neighbors.

C. A plough and a wall. D. Many doctors.

44. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years.

B. Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.

C. Robert could hear his wife’s shouting for help when he woke up.

D. The family’s love helped Robert regain confidence to live.

45. We can infer from the text that ______.

A. there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recovery

B. many doctors came because Robert was badly injured

C. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock

D. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery

Research has shown that 85 percent of communication is nonverbal, so choosing what to wear to an interview is clearly an important part of your overall presentation. It won’t make up for weak answers, but it can communicate some positive things about your personality and what you might be like to work with.

· Blue: You can’t go wrong with darker shades of blue, especially navy. Choosing from this powerful color will project an image of someone who is in control. From the interviewer’s point of view, the color blue suggests calm, stability, trust, truth, confidence and security. These are all great messages to send without saying a word.

· Gray: After blue, gray is the second most popular color to wear for an interview. Like darker blue, it’s not a distracting color to the interviewer, which means they’ll be focused more on what you’re saying and how you’re saying it. Gray means sophistication
