AWhen I was younger, I was diagnosed with asthma(哮喘). By ten, I had been admitted to the hospital at least three times. One time particularly my mother rushed me to the hospital late one night. My lungs quitted working and I went into breathing failure. The doctors said they could do nothing but transport me to Roanoke. I was frightened and hoped I could have a chance to survive. Of course, I did.I don't remember much of the days I spent in the hospital, but I remember I felt like I was always there. At home, t had to take medicine every day.During those days, I felt entitled to everything: extra babying and extra love just because I was a sick girl. Now, I just laugh at myself for those silly an ignorant thoughts.At Radford, I‘ve worked a lot with students that were on academic probation (留校察看) by working for the Students on the Road to Success programs. I got to know the students personally.Some of the students were very lazy and didn't want to improve themselves. Therefore, they couldn't return for the next term. Other hard-working students also had their unique circumstances that caused them to fail. For those students, I am so thankful that they could get a second chance and improve themselves and increase their chance of leaving Radford with a college degree.I think second chances are important because not only can they help people become better persons, but also they can create a new sense of strength. Second chances can iron out the wrinkles and create even better, stronger people.Today, I‘m so thankful to be here. My asthma is under control. I'm thankful that I'm able to work with students that also need second chances, and help them a little bit on their journey to finding themselves.26.

Suffering a special diseaseBIn 1953,Walt Disney hired some of the country's best talent to create an eight-page prospectus （计划书) to convince investors to invest in a new kind of amusement park - the Disneyland.Walt Disney wanted to encourage tourists to buy things in the Disneyland. So it was not surprising to learn that his first plan had included not just toys and stuffed animals, but also live creatures like donkeys, exotic birds and even rare fish. He thought that people visiting the park could pick the animal of their choice and then had it shipped to their home. However, .it breaks the laws to ship animals between states and the idea never made it past the prospectus.Walt Disney also wanted "Adventureland" to include an areawhere visitors could go on a safari (游猎) and witness several species of animals, ranging from alligators to monkeys and otters. Given that they all need different habitats to survive, this would have been no easy task. The idea was therefore not pursued.His desire to have live animals did not end there. The original vision of Frontierland included ―Granny‘s Farm" --- a real working farm completed with horses, cows, oxen and donkeys. While this was doable （可做的), it wasn't very practical, which is probably why it was eliminated in the end.While some of these ideas were not practical, there were a few that were impossible to achieve back then. Among them were doors that opened and closed upon verbal request or as Disney described it "obey your voice like a Genie" , a "Fly through London" with Peter Pan, as well as, a trip to the Moon by a giant rocket ship so that visitors could experience a ―scientifically accurate" trip through space!Though none of these attractions will ever see the light of day, it is sure fun to imagine how different the amusement park would be, if they had been included.31.

Because people weren't interested in both of them.33. What does the underlined word ―eliminated" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Improved.B. Removed.C. Approved.D. Considered.34.

Although. Phil had seen just a few photos of his son since the boy was eight years old, he recognized him at once.It would be reasonable to suppose it was a father's instinct that incited Phil to help - but at the moment he dived into the water to go to the aid of the struggling group, he only thought he was helping a stranger in trouble.He says, ―Two people were desperately paddling on one of the kayaks and it seemed like someone fell into the water. I told Lyn, Something is not right; I'm going to help. "―l took off my T-shirt and threw my keys on the sand. Diving into the water, I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying inthe water. He was shaking violently. Linking arms with one instructor, I helped to carry the man out of the water. He was drifting in and out of con-sciousness and his hands and feet were blue.‖Then Phil looked into the boy's eyes and wept as he realized the stricken stranger was his own son. Phil recalled, "I asked the instructor, ‗what‘s his name?' He replied. 'Benji'. In an instant, I knew that stranger was my boy. I checked his Breathing and pulse and said, 'It's me, your dad. You're going to be OK.'"Benji tells how it felt to be saved by his long-lost dad. "All I remember is waking up on the beach and. seeing my dad there," he 'says.

Also, think about those forks and spoons in your school cafeteria. They may probably be plastic. For better or for worse, plastic seems to be everywhere –even places that might be hundreds of milesfrom the nearest human settlement.Back in the 1990s, a man named Charles Moore discovered a huge floating island of plastic in the North Pacific Ocean - tons and tons of floating debris (碎片) and garbage. Since then, four more floating islands of plastic have been discovered in other parts of the world. Now, Moore says, the island that he discovered is spreading much farther than he expected. He made that discovery during a 30-day research expedition.They found a lot more plastic father away from the area that's called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch than they had ever seen," said Marietta Francis, who is the executive director of the AMRI – an institute that Moore created to investigate the floating plastic problem. ―They ran across it faster than expected." Right now, experts say they are not sure what all this plastic is doing to the health of our oceans or our own health, for that matter. They suspect that small fish are eating tiny bits of the plastic, and that those tiny little bits are getting into bigger fish when the bigger fish eat the small fish. Of course, we're at the top of the food chain – most of the time, at least. So that means if the plastic is getting into the big fish, then it's getting into the fish we eat and very possibly getting into us.Moore and other researchers are anxious about the plastic islands and hope to figure out what effect all that plastic is having. But right now, experts say their research is still in its very early stages. "What we doknow for sure right now is that from 10,000 t0 35,000 tons of plastic is floating on the surface of our oceans. And we humans put it there," said Moore.41. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Plastic has a terrible effect on people‘s life.B. Good use has been made of plastic in people's life.C.

The floating plastic problem cannot be solved at present.B. More than four islands of plastic lie in the Pacific Ocean.C. Human being has thrown too much plastic into t e oceans.D. The island of plastic has grown more quickly than expected.43. According to experts, the plasticA. may threaten human‘s healthB. has become part of most fish's foodC. has led to some kinds of fish's deathD. may become the top of the food chain14. What may be Moore's feeling when mentioning the island of plastic?A. Optimistic.B. Concerned.C. Indifferent.D. Confused.5. We can know from the last paragraph that _____.A.
