1、Passage OneA couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in NewJersey. It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, fullof reasonablywell-behaved kids from middle-class families. I handled three classes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for

2、the rest of the day. Teaching's the toughest job there is. In his new memoir, "Teacher Man," Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, "Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses." Not to mention writing a column. I can stare off into themiddle distance with my

3、 chin （ 下巴）in my hand any time.But you go mentallysouth for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders,and you are sunk. The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for a twenty-something with no mortgage （抵押貸款 ）and no kids. But soon enough the ne

4、w teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere. After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy （舒適安逸的）hours and summer vacations, they figure out that early mornings are for students who need extra help, evenings are for test corrections and le

5、sson plans, and weekends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills. According to the Department of Education, one in every five teachers leaves after the first year, and almost twice as many leave within three. If any business had that rate of turnover, someone would do

6、something smart and strategic to fix it. This isn't any business. It's the most important business around, the gardeners of the landscape of the human race. Unfortunately, the current way of dealing with problems in education is taken directly from business practice, and it's a terrible

7、fit. Instead of simply acknowledging that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises, politicians have wasted decades talking about something called merit pay （獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)工資 ）.It's a concept that works fine if you're maki

Not only does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an i

18、mpact on the kidneys. The disability has had its ups and downs. As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me because of the way that I walked. There were many times that my schoolmates would laugh at meand call menamessimply because of their lack of understanding, especi

19、ally back in the mid 70s and early 80s. Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their classmates might walk, speak or seem noticeably different from themselves. Now thatI am an adult, I have noticed that the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once

20、were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance. The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act （ADA） has played a great part in breaking down some of those barriers （障礙）that, as a child, leftmeto fight a war that seemedto have no end. NowI look beyond what I can't do and focus on what I

21、can. I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms. There is nothing in this world that comes easy. I must stand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for

22、 what still lies ahead. People often feel sorry for those who were born with some type of disability. But their compassion （憐憫）is misplaced. Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but mydisability gives mea better look at life and all that's around me. I want to be seen

23、not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom （成長(zhǎng)）.So I decided to become an advocate （倡導(dǎo)者）onbehalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored. I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change the minds of many nations, and as l

25、ance quite different from others.4">He spoke in a different way from others.31. It can be inferred from the passage that in the 1970s, disabled children 1">were not accepted by their peers2">received different treatment at school3">had frequent fights with their class

26、mates4">had ups and downs in their life32. Being disabled, the author.1">has lost many a battle in his life2">looks at life as a challenge3">focuses on the limitations he has to suffer4">is angry for the many opportunities he has lost33. According to the autho

27、r, his disability.33.1 ">has given him a better understanding of life2">aroused sympathy from people around him3">is a constant barrier between him and the community4">has prevented him from growing up to a full person35. Why did the author decide to become an advocat

28、e for the disabled?1">He still has a mouth to use and a mind to think.2">He has got a powerful voice to change people's minds.3">The signing of the ADA has failed to change a thing in their life.4">Their rights are still being ignored.我出生與一個(gè)殘疾,影響我的平衡感,讓我走路一病一拐。它不僅

I'

33、m looking around for a middle-aged woman, my Aunt Penn, who I've seen in pictures. The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace （ 項(xiàng)鏈）and flat shoes, and maybe some kind of narrow dress in black or gray. But I'm just guessing since the pictures o
