“She’s fast as lightning（闪电）! Don’t blink your eyes. You might miss her!”This is what the fans said about Wilma Rudolph. Wilma was the first American woman and the first African-American woman to win three gold medals at one Olympic Games.
She won her gold medals in running events. What makes her success even more amazing is that Wilma had polio（骨髓灰质炎） as a child. The disease made one of her legs very weak. Her leg was so weak that she could not walk without wearing a brace（支架）. She could not run and play on the playground with the other children. But she told herself that one day she would be able to run too.
At home, Wilma’s family gave her the strength to work hard at getting well. They helped her do special exercises to make her leg stronger. By the time she was 12, Wilma could walk without help.
In high school, Wilma’s leg was much better. She started playing sports. Wilma became the star of her basketball team. She also joined the women’s track team. Wilma won every race that she ran.
Wilma went on to become one of the world’s fastest female(女性) runners. She ran in her first Olympic Games when she was only 16. She was the youngest member of the Olympic team. “I don’t know why I run so fast, “she said. I just run. ”
Wilma is now known as a famous Olympic runner. She became a teacher and a coach after ending her running career. She wanted to help other children work hard and reach their dreams. Wilma told the children, “The most important thing is to be yourself and have confidence in yourself.”

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

Being able to multitask----doing several things at the same time is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPads. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance(体现) at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response (肯定回答). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers（雇主） feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
9．Which of the follow best explain the meaning of the underlined word "juggle"?
A. pay attention to. B. look forward to getting.
C. use at the same time. D. search for information from.
10．In Paragraph 3, the writer points out that young people ________.
A. do not greet each other in school
B. are too busy to spend time at home.
C. get on well with their family members
D. hardly communicate with their family
11．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Multitasking harms young people's development.
B. Young people learn a lot from modern gadgets.
C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.
12．What information can we get from the underlined sentence mean?
A. Employers feel multitasking helps young people a lot.
B. Young people lack special skills needed at work.
C. Modern gadgets are very important at job market.
D. Young people needn’t learn special skills to do their work.
13．The writer develops the passage mainly by ________.
A. giving a cause and analyzing (分析)its effects
B. following the natural time order
C. providing lots of special examples
D. comparing opinions from different fields
II．请先阅读下面旳短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内旳七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、构造完整。（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）
What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 14 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know.
Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 15
Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting（对抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 16 Instead, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them.
They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so. 17 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to do the things they love the most.
18 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.
A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life.
B. What are the things that these people do differently?
C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love.
D. The things happy people do are not just for themselves, but for the good of others.
E. They are ready to accept whatever lies in front of them.
