No one in my family had ever known what an albino was，what it meant to be an albino，and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents treated me just like they treated everybody elseThat was just about the best thing they could have done.It helped me trust myself，so when the annoyances came along，I could deal with them.True，my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyesKids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”.Like most albinos，I had terrible eyesight, and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight for nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult pricesbecause I “l(fā)ooked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldnt play sports very well. I didnt give up trying, though. And I studied harder.Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring, going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extra-curricular activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make albino a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.I couldnt see well enough to play sports ,but with a solid education and the drive to do it. I could make a living involved in the field I loved. Ive done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how Im the only blind editor they know, but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect.

Home schooling is legal throughout Europe，Australia，New Zealand, North America， Hong Kong， and South Africa Home schooling is most popular In Canada, France, the United Kingdom， and the United States. Home schooling IS legally accepted in all 50 states of the US，but each state has its own laws about itCurrently，it is estimated(估計）that over one million families teach their children at home Most of these families include a breadwinner and a stay-at-home parent who does most of the teaching，although there are single parent families and double career families who home school.Home schooling education models range from unschooling to traditional classroom schooling. Unschooling is based on interest-based learning in which the child expresses interest in a particular subject and the parents take steps to provide the materials for that subject.In some places， the home school group shares In hiring a professional teacher to teach a particular subject.The group may also arrange field trips and sports activities with local privates schools.

Others teach their children until they feel they are full-fledged（成熟的） enough to live independentlyIn America colleges do recognize a home school diploma（文憑），but most are more interested in high school transcripts（成績報告單）and SAT and ACT scoresThere are currently over 800 colleges that accept home-schooled graduates including Harvard，Yale， and Stanford.49What is a home school according to the passage？AIts a school where children neednt study any subjects.B.Its a school where children neednt take any testsC.

A home school diploma is not accepted by colleges in AmericaDSome children in a home school also take courses onlineDThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they arecontinually dissatisfied. By their remarkes, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批評) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them ,and no one treat them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.53.The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”.A. have a good taste with social unhappy peopleB. make others unhappyC. tend to scold others openly.D. enjoy the pleasure of life54. We can conclude from the passage that_A. We should hate all such unhappy peopleB. Such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons55. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_A. prevent any communication with themB. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填人空白處的最佳選項.選項中有兩項為多余選項.The Seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter？Here are two main ones Dont try to be fancyDont try to impress your reader You will be successful if you follow these seven CsClear.
