Reading comprehension (40%)Passage 1It was Monday, and Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher, and he is going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s.

The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.At midday, the dog returned to the shop. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in its mouth.

By the time I was 5 years old, putting on hearing aids in the morning was just as normal as brushing my teeth. However, I never believed that it should limit my success in any way.During my 17 years, I have met many people who don’t know about hearing disabilities and deal with this by stereotyping me. My classmates told me something was wrong with my brain. My teachers wouldn’t let me sit past the second row because they worried I would not be able to hear. My “learning expert” tried to teach me sign language, though I had no need for it. People tend to speak louder than normal when they see my thick plastic hearing aids in my ears. Almost every month I hear someone say that hearing aids are for old people.However, my hearing disability has made me a stronger person. Because I wear hearing aids, I have to prove that I am not physically or mentally limited. I have to work harder and earn top grades in school to earn the respect of my teachers. In sports, I’ve had to score more points to prove I am not physically challenged.I still don’t know a word of sign language. I consider myself no different from anyone else. I wear hearing aids, but I can hear without them. And I am not “half deaf.” With my hearing aids on, I can hear just as well as anyone else.I truly believe that I would not be the strong and ambitious person I am today if I did not have a hearing disability.41.When I was very young, hearing aids_______.A. made my life difficultB. became a part of my lifeC. limited my successD. hurt my feelings42.

One puppy was falling far behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the limping puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog?”The store owner explained that the little puppy didn’t have a hip socket. The little boy became excited and said, “That’s the little puppy I want to buy.”The store owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. But if you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the owner’s eyes and said, “I don’t want youto give him to me. The little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay the full price. In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now and 50 cents a month until I have him all paid for.”The store owner said, “This little dog is never going to run and jump like the other puppies.”To this, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to show a badly twisted, disabled left leg supported by a big metal brace.
