Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.

And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.

As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!

Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around .It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.

25. Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgin’s chicken house regularly?

A. To earn some money for the family. B. To get rid of the terrible smell.

C. To collect manure for his crops. D. To set a good example to us.

26. What can we infer about Dad’s stew?

A. It tastes quite delicious. B. It contains honey and vegetables.

C. It looks very wonderful. D. It is popular among the neighbors.

27. What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?

A. To attract B. To shut C. To air D. To upset

28. What can we learn about Dad from the text?

A. He is an experienced cook. B. He has a positive attitude to life.

C. He is a troublesome father. D. He suffers a lot from his disability.

C

At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断） with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

29.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ________.

A. He had an attention disorder B. He was new to the class.

C. He was tried of literature D. He wanted to take the task home.

30.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?

A. He had good sight B. He learned a lot from school.

C. He gave up reading D. He made a great invention.

31.What was Mrs. Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A. Angry B. Impatient C. Encouraging D. Sympathetic

32.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The disabled should be treated with respect.

B. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

C. A teacher can open up a new world to students.

D .Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.

One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.

Besides, businesses seek to appeal to c
