13、I was twenty years old, and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would be earning my own living. Unfortunately, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be. The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching, being a nurse or sitting in an office. But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue (目录) of courses that were being offered at the local college. As I looked through it, I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language. It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations, such as law companies, the Stock Exchange, insurance companies and banks. Then I saw something that really caught my eye: “Singer” are also needed for sporting events, concerts, theatrical performances and, believe it or not, circuses! By the time I got to the bottom of the page, I knew I had found the perfect occupation.
I enrolled (注册) on the course, which to my parents’ great delight was free of charge. The course was brilliant. My favourite part was the final lesson, when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song. It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words, but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast. It was the hardest thing I have ever done—but also the most rewarding.

14、I first met the boy last year. He talked to me every day. He has a problem with stuttering(口吃) when he tries to talk. It’s really hard to understand what he is saying.
Well, this morning, I was talking to some teachers who were running(经营) the school shop. He stopped by and said hello to all of us. After he left, they told me that he stopped every day and said hello. But of course, he never had the money to buy anything.
I decided to get him something. I bought a pencil, an eraser and a small notebook. The kids were all out after class. When I saw him, I pulled him to the side.
I cannot describe the look on his face when I gave him the three little things. Then, without a stutter, he loudly said, “Thank you so much.” He gave me a big hug before going back to class.
I have to say that I have never spent one dollar that would mean so much to me.

15、On the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, some villagers cut down trees in a special way. If a tree is too large to be cut down with an ax, they try something else-yelling（叫喊）at it. Woodsmen with special powers climb up a tree at dawn and yell at it at the top of their voices. They continue doing this for 30 days. After 30 days, the tree dies and falls over. It seems like the yelling kills the spirit of the tree. According to the villagers, it always works.
It's too bad they don' t have the advantages of modern technology and a scientific mind.
No matter how true the story actually is, it reminds me of something. I often yell at my wife, the telephone and workers. And sometimes I even yell at the T V, the newspaper and my children. I've been known to shake my fist（拳头）and yell at the sky at times. People like me can often be seen around us.
The man next door yells at his car a lot. And this summer I heard him yell at a ladder for most of an afternoon. We modem, educated people yell at traffic, bills, banks and machines. Machines and relatives get yelled at the most.
It doesn't do much good. Machines and things just sit there. Even kicking it doesn't usually help. As for people, well, the Solomon Islanders may have a point. Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.
1．How do the Solomon villagers cut down a very large tree?
A．By using a special ax. B．By using the power of nature.
C．By using a mysterious power. D．By yelling at the tree for a month.

C．It makes machines work. D．It does no good to people.

4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Yelling can solve all problems.
B．Yelling at others will never hurt their spirit.
C．It ' s common for people to yell at things around them.
D．Solomon Islanders never use an ax to cut down trees.
5．What does the story want to tell us?
A．Yelling hurts both sides. B．Everyone likes yelling.
C．Solomon Islanders are very stupid. D．Every living thing has its own spirit.

17、Fashion treadmill desks (跑步机办公室) might actually help improve job performance after employees get used to working while walking, according to new research.
A yearlong study of workers at a company St. Paul, Minn, found that the productivity of 40 treadmill users dropped at first because they were unable to master typing and operating a mouse while walking at a speed of up to two miles per hour.
But within four to six months, measures (测量) of performance-quality, the amount of work done, and the quality of interactions(互动) with workmates rose gradually, according to weekly surveys. At the end of the survey period, workers with treadmill desks improved their performance, which was 0.1 points higher than that before the project began.
For tasks like solving problems or taking conference calls, “ A little bit of walking is useful because it means there’s more blood flow to the brain,” said Avner Ben-Ner, a professor at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and an author of the study. “ You get more oxygen (氧气) and it increases the ability to think .”
Treadmill desks have got attention because of research which showed the negative (负面的，消极的)effects of sedentary lifestyles and jobs that leave workers sitting all day. But data on the effectiveness of the desks has been relatively rare.
There are other downsides (不利方面) , as The Wall Street Journal wrote last year, including the possibility of falls and injuries.
Mr. Ben-Ner noted that treadmill users need some time to get used to the ergonomics (人体工程学) of walking while working, including the proper desk height. His te
