The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearlyThe news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen.

Just how worried should you be if your little one has started lying, and how can you encourage them to tell the truth?According to child and teen psychiatrist Gayani DeSilva, MD, lying can actually be a sign of healthy development in young children.“Kids lie for many reasons, and much of it is normal.” DeSilva says. “People are not born with the tools of interacting with others and getting their needs met. They must learn how to communicate those needs in appropriate ways, and they’ll experiment with different communication techniques until they find the ones that work best for them. Lying is one of thoseFor instance, at age two or three, kids may lie as they experiment with pushing limits to see what behaviors are acceptable and what aren’t. As kids get older, they become more aware of how their actions affect others. Many lie less frequently because they know it could hurt someone else’s feelings or trust. Teens were most likely to consider lying an acceptable behavior if it was to help somebody or keep a personal secret, but not if it was likely to cause harm to somebody.Just because lying is, in most cases, normal, doesn’t mean it should be ignored. If you know your child is lying, what should you do? When a child lies, look at them directly and ask, “What do you need?” After they tell you, gently remind them that telling you directly will be more effective than lying.Also, it’s a good idea to model the behavior you want to see in your kids. In other words, don’t lie to your children. This will set you and your children on a course of open communication, trust, and satisfaction that needs and wants are understood and met.Generally, a child who is neglected will lie more than a child who has attentive and responsive parents. By paying attention to the reasons behind a small lie, parents can figure out if there’s a need that’s not being met.28. Why do kids lie according to DeSilva?A. To get their needs met.B. To improve their communication skills.C. To avoid hurting someone else’s feelings.D. To be aware of how their actions affect others.29. Why do kids lie less frequently as they grow older?A. They think lying limits their behaviors.B. They realize the negative effects of lying.C. They consider lying an acceptable behavior.D. They want to help people who are neglected.30. What are parents advised to do concerning their kids lying?A. Give them whatever they need.B. Pretend not to notice their lies.C. Set a good example to them.D. Remind them not to lie again.31. What does the author think of kids lying?A. Acceptable and appropriate.B. Harmful and worrying.C. Normal and understandable.D. Healthy and effective.DGirl with a Pearl Earring has been part of the Mauritshuis' collection in the Hague since 1902 and is still on display at the museum. Rumours(谣言)have surrounded Johannes Vermeer's work ever since it was rediscovered in the late 19th century, and this painting still continues to generate interest, debate and imagination.Although Vermeer was among the most successful artists working in Delft during the 17th century, he was almost completely forgotten after his death in 1675. Even during his lifetime, Vermeer's influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a painter and art dealer. What's more, Vermeer's name is rarely mentioned in historical records and he left behind barely any other documents about his career or personal history.Very little is known about Girl with a Pearl Earring. However, art historians have decided several important facts about the painting. Recent research suggests that the black, negative space behind Vermeer's model was originally painted dark green.Much like other artists of his time, Vermeer enjoyed painting figures dressed in Middle Eastern clothes. As his model is dressed in a turban(女用头巾), many art historians argue that the Vermeer's painting shouldn't be considered as a portrait(肖像画)at all. Instead, most scholars agree that Girl with a Pearl Earring belongs to a kind of painting called Tronie that began in the Low Countries around Vermeer's time. This type of artwork often portrays(描绘) characters rather than actual people. It portrays a certain type of character; in this case a girl in fanciful dress, wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear.It is interesting to note that the painting was known as Girl with Turban or simply Young Girl for most of its existence and only received its current name less than a century ago. While it is impossible to identify Vermeer's model, due to a complete lack of evidence, he may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the painting.32. What do we learn about Johannes Vermeer when he was alive?A. He lived a very hard life.B. He wasn't a gifted artist.C. He liked writing about himself.D. He wasn't much known out of his city.33. What made some scholars regard Girl with a Pearl Earring as a work of Tronie?A. The girl's special expression.B. The girl's unusual dressing.C. The model's unclear gesture.D. The model's background painting.34. What can we know about the painting from the last paragraph?A. Its model remains mysterious.B. Its name is still controversial.C. It was severely damaged a century ago.D. It was inspired by a daughter of the artist.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Life experiences of Johannes Vermeer.B. The model of Girl with a Pearl Earring.C. The story behind Girl with a Pearl Earring.D. Characteristics of Johannes Vermeer's painting.第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
