II. 完形填空(1.5’×20=30’)
Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 31 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 32 right to our children.
When I see a child 33 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.

According to psychologists(心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world; it can be created by a person’s thoughts.
Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants(婴儿) are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.
Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals(吸引) to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust(厌恶). In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.
Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.
Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.
51. We learn from the passage that an emotion is created when ______.
A. one thinks of something bad or good B. one feels himself in danger
C. one faces difficulty in the outside world D. one tries to escape from real life
52. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Children learn emotions as they grow up.
B. Babies are born with emotions.
C. Emotions fall into two types in general.
D. People can cope with the negative emotions in life.
53. The third paragraph is mainly about ______.
A. the types of emotions B. the causes of emotions
C. the effects of emotions D. the signs of emotions
54. As used in the last sentence, the underlined word “drains” means ______.
A. strengthens B. tires C. supplies D. uses up gradually

There are a number of myths(神话; 荒诞的说法) about eyes and eye care. The following are some common misconceptions or false statements with the true facts afterwards.
Myths about Vision(视力) and Eyeglasses:
•Although eyeglasses make you see better, they make vision get worse over time. Eyeglasses will need to be constantly changed with higher-powered one.
•Overuse of the Eye or use of eye makes vision worse.
•Eye exercises can improve vision.
•Eating carrots can improve vision.
The Facts:
Of course it is possible that your eye power may also have increased as your age―but this increase would have happened regardless of whether you wore the glasses or not.
Using your eyes for any length of time does not make them weaker. you may get tired and may even get a headache with long reading hours, but these symptoms(症状) have nothing to do with eyes getting weaker.
There are no eye exercises that will help your eyes see better or that will prevent the nearsightedness from getting worse. The article “Can Eye Exercises improve vision?” provides information on how the concept(观念) of eye exercises helping vision came about. Some of the eye exercise methods are the “Yoga method” and the “See Clearly method”.
Carrots won’t improve eyesight for someone eating normal healthy food. However, carrots are rich in beta carotene(胡萝卜素), which is changed into Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important in maintaining normal vision, and even a little lack of Vitamin A can cause night blindness. Therefore in the developing world, where lack of vitamin A is possible, eating carrots may be good advice.
55. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Eye exercises can improve your vision.
B. Overuse of the eye or use of eye makes vision worse.
C. The human body is unable to change beta carotene into vitamin A.
D. Eating carrots cannot improve vision.
56. Night blindness is most likely caused by ______.
A. staring for long periods B. too much beta carotene
C. lack of vitamin A D. another vision problem
57. The main purpose of this text is to ______.
A. tell us the importance of our eyes B. correct some misunderstanding about eyes
C. persuade us to have more carrots D. teach us how to protect our eyes

When the population of the port town began to suffer from poisoning, the police came to find the cause of the poison. They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people took the position that the pork was poisoned. It was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick. Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out. Even the poorest of the poor wouldn’t eat pork. Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. Shortly afterwards, even policemen in high positions were also getting sick.
Soon it became political and popular. Politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected. Everyone was so sick that they didn’t care about politics. Everyone was in a position where he or she didn’t know what to do anymore. They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help.

One day, a well-known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions. He went to pools and the port and made measurements. He was quiet and polite. Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings.
“I am sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned. I know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time. It is you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution. A great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day. No one here has taken good care of the environment.
