Too often in life，we focus on the things we cannot do．Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations，health limitations，family limitations，educational limitations，and so on．Sometimes，we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals．We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life．

Through the Internet，I have recently met an individual whom I found to be very inspiring．He has a positive attitude；he focuses on what he can do．To name a few of his accomplishments：he has set a world record，and is in the Guinness Book of World Records； he is an international poet with over 900 publications；he is an advocate for the disabled；he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week；he is an ambassador for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation；he has created his own website—http：／／wheelierecord．tripod．com/ index．html．And the list could go on!

The individual is Robert M．Hensel．You see，Robert was born spina bifida，a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an impact on the kidneys．Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements，yet he has accomplished more than many．His attitude to life is one that，for me，is inspiring! To quote Robert，“I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed，showing other ways to meet our needs．Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can．”

Let Robert be a reminder for changing attitudes．Use his motto of not focusing on what you can’t do，but focus on what you can do！

21．What stops us from achieving success according to the author?

23．Why has Robert M．Hensel made many achievements in his life?

B．He always looks beyond his strengths．

C．He takes advantage of his disability．

D．He concentrates on what he can do．

24．How does the author support his idea in the text?

Raised by a single mother in Hartford，Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another．He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for．

“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders，”he said．“I couldn’t handle it．I didn’t care about life anymore．”But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly．

“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly．I wasn’t used to strictness．I wasn’t used to hearing the word‘no，’”said Wright，now 17．

Kelly，a former soldier and an equestrian(骑手)，took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse．

“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole，” Kelly said．“He was hurting．He needed a place where he could express himself．The riding field became that place for him．”

For the last 30 years，Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her nonprofit，Ebony Horsewomen．The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year．By exposing those children to horsemanship，Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around．

“We use horses as a hook to create pride，esteem and healing，”said Kelly，66．“They learn that they have ability．They just have to unlock it．”

“When you teach a child to ride a horse，they learn they are the center of their environment，”said Kelly．“Once they make that connection，they can change what happens in school，at home and in the community．”

25．Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?

A．His mother couldn’t afford the fees．

B．His parents got divorced．

C．He behaved badly at schoo1．

D．He didn’t set a life goal．

26．How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?

A．She provided him with a home．

B．She encouraged him to learn science．

C．She exposed him to the riding field．

D．She found him a better schoo1．

27．What do we know about the program Ebony Horsewomen?

A．It is intended to make money．

B．It was founded by Patricia Kelly．

C．It aims to protect the environment．

D．It serves as a shelter for homeless kids．

28．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A．Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids．

B．Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman．

C．Horses are closely related to the environment．

D．It is hard for a kid to 1earn to ride a horse．

The Netherlands on Monday launched its first-ever“intelligent bicycle”，fitted with a set of electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in this country．

The intelligent bicycle runs on electricity．Its seat shakes when other cyclists approach from behind，while the handlebars do the same when obstacles appear ahead to inform cyclists to pay attention to the danger．It also has a cradle(置物架)in which a computer can be inserted，to wirelessly connect and“talk”to the bicycle through a particular application．The computer also flashes a bright signal if there is an approaching obstacle in the bicycle’s path，like a tree，or if another cyclist comes up from behind intending to pass.

A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1，700 euros to 3，200 euros per bicycle．It weighs about 55 pounds but researchers are working on making the on-board systems smaller．

‘‘Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed，”said Maurice Kwakkernaat，one of the scientists involved in the project，“The on-board system technology has already been at work in the automotive industry”．

“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle，not only for short distances，but also for longer distances，”Dutch Environment Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen said，“This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue enjoying cycling，”she said．

29．What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The newly-invented bicycle can warn of danger．

B．The intelligent computer runs on electricity．

C．More elderly people enjoy electronic devices．

D．The means of transportation in the Netherlands．

30．When a car appears ahead，the intelligent bicycle will_________．

A．stop by itself B．make a noise

C．warn its cyclist D．change its color

31．What do you know about the intelligent bicycle?

A．It uses gas as the fuel．

B．It is widely used now．

C．It will be lighter in weight．

D．It will be free for everyone．

32．More and more elderly people in the Netherlands______________．
