Last year I was put into a low-level math class at school. The reason I was in this class had 21 to do with my intelligence. I am blind. The school 22 that it would be better for me to learn at a lower level because it takes me a great deal longer to complete school tasks.
The only problem with being in this class was that I was 23 by “at-risk” students, who did not perform well in school and were 24 in trouble with the school and the law. On Monday mornings, the kids talked about what they had done during the past 25 . I tried not to listen, but it is almost 26 not to.

I now see that praying is such a 37 act. When I pray for those around me, it also 38 my life, and it changes my understanding of others. I realized God’s blessings enabled me to see the world through 39 eyes. The prayers I said for others 40 to help me the most.

Until I was twelve years old, I thought everyone in the world knew about the grinnies, if I thought about the term at all — which is unlikely. After all, everyone in my family used the word quite naturally, and we understood each other. So far as I knew, it was a word like any other word — like bath, or chocolate, or homework. But it was my homework which led to my discovery that grinnies was a word not known outside my family.
My last report card had said that I was a “C” student in English, and my parents, both teachers, decided that no child of theirs would be just an average student of anything. So nightly I spelled words aloud and answered questions about the fine points of grammar. I wrote and rewrote and rewrote every composition until I convinced my mother that I could make no more improvements. And the hard work paid off. One day the teacher returned compositions, and there it was — a big fat, bright red “A” on the top of my paper. Naturally, I was delighted, but I didn’t know I was attracting attention until the teacher spoke sharply, “Helen, what are you doing?”
Called suddenly out of my happy thoughts, I said “Oh, I’ve got the grinnies!” The teacher and my classmates burst into laughter, and then I understood that grinnies were used inside my family. Other people were not so lucky.
And it is really lucky to have the grinnies, an uncontrollable, natural state of great pleasure. Grinnies are shown on the outside by sparkling eyes and a wide, wide smile — not just any smile, but one that shows the teeth and stretches the mouth to its limits. A person experiencing the grinnies appears to be all mouth. On the inside grinnies are characterized by a feeling of joyful anxiety. Grinnies usually last just a few seconds, but they can come and go. Sometimes, when life seems just perfect, I have occasional attacks of the grinnies for a whole day.
The term originated in my mother’s family. Her younger sister, Rose, who had deep dimples (酒窝), often expressed her pleasure with such a grin that the dimples appeared to become permanent. When Rose was about four, she started explaining her funny look by saying, “I have the grinnies”. The term caught on, and it has been an important word in our family now for two generations.
The occasion doesn’t matter. Anything can bring on the grinnies — just so long as one feels great delight. When my brother finally rode his bicycle — without training wheels — from our house to the corner and back, he came home with the grinnies. When I was little, my mother’s announcement that we would have homemade ice cream for dessert always gave me the grinnies. My father had the grinnies when I was chosen to make a speech at the end-of-school-year ceremony. Grinnies can be brought on by a good meal, a sense of pride, a new friend, a telephone call from someone special, an achievement. Or sometimes one gets the grinnies for no reason at all: just a sudden sense of happiness can bring on a case. Whatever brings them on, an attack of the grinnies is among life’s greatest pleasures.
In fact, now that I look back on the experience, I feel sorry for my seventh-grade teacher. I think it’s a pity that she didn’t know the word grinnies. It’s such a useful term for saying, “I’m really, really pleased!”
45. After the writer was twelve years old, she ______.
A. thought everyone knew the meaning of “grinnies”
B. equaled “grinnies” to bath or chocolate in meaning
C. got to know “grinnies” was used only inside her family
D. discovered the word “grinnies” through her mother
46. When her English teacher called her name, the writer was ______.
A. looking at the big “A” on the top of her paper
B. listening to her English teacher attentively
C. too happy to notice what’s happening around her
D. busy rewriting and improving her compositions
47. According to the writer, the word “grinnies” originates from______.
A. her mother B. her aunt C. her brother D. her father
48. The writer feels sorry for her seventh-grade teacher because the teacher______.
A. has no pity on her students
B. should not have laughed at her
C. doesn’t have any luck to meet her parent
D. has no idea of what “grinnies” is
49. What method does the writer use to explain “grinnies”?
A. Cause and effect. B. Examples.
C. Comparison and contrast. D. Process.

C
Which is sillier: denying we ever went to the moon or trying to convince the true nonbelievers?
Once upon a time – July 20, 1969, to be specific – two men got out of their little spaceship and wandered around on the moon for a while. Ten more men walked on the moon over the next three and a half years. The end.
Unfortunately, not quite. A fair number of Americans think that this whole business of moon landings really is a fairy tale. They believe that the landings were a big hoax (骗局) staged in the Mojave Desert, to convince everyone that U.S. technology was the “bestest” in the whole wide world.
Which is the harder thing to do: Send men to the moon or make believe we did? The fact is the physics behind sending people to the moon is simple. You can do it with computers whose entire memory capacities can now fit on chips the size of postage stamps and that cost about as much as, well, a postage stamp. I know you can because we did.
However, last fall NASA considered spending $15,000 on a public-relations campaign to convince the unimpressed that Americans had in fact gone to the moon. That idea was mostly a reaction to a Fox television program, first aired in February 2001, that claimed to expose the hoax. The show’s creator is a publicity hound (猎狗) who has lived up to the name in more ways than one by hounding Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon. Mr. X (as I will call him, thereby denying him the joyous sight of his name in print) recently followed Buzz Aldrin around and called him “a thief, liar and coward” until the 72-year-old astronaut finally lost it and hit the 37-year-old Mr. X in the face.
Anyway, NASA’s publicity campaign began to slow down. The nonbelievers took the campaign as NASA’s effort to hide something while the believers said that $15,000 to convince people that the world was round — I mean, that we had gone to the moon — was simply a waste of money. (Actually, the $15,000 was supposed to pay for an article by James E. Oberg, an astronomy writer who, with Aldrin, h
