I Was Forced to Find My Gifts
I was a pretty typical 17-year-old with a strong interest in painting when something happened. One Sunday, I went to an old swimming hole and dove in. I       something under the water head-on and broke a couple of vertebrae（椎骨）of my neck.
For five months I stayed at the hospital, feeling like a       to my family. My self-image was instantly      . I was described with terms like “disabled” or “crippled.” I was angry and
      after I failed so many times at some       task---dropping something on the floor and trying to get it back up again.
Near the end of my stay in the hospital, my doctor almost forcibly tied a       to my hand. He had seen my paintings I’d done before and      me to paint. Fortunately, I found that I
   had this artistic ability left. It was like a big weight had been      . At least I could do something worthwhile again, and it became a       part of my recovery.
After I left the hospital, I stayed at home, feeling desperately      . It seemed like I was cut off from      . No one can get along       love and acceptance. So that fall, I started at the University of Texas, majoring in graphic design.
One day a man happened to see one of my paintings. He had a great       for it and asked if I ever did art shows. So I was given a(n)      . Much to my surprise, I found that people liked my paintings and would pay for them. That was about 11 years ago. Today, 1,500       have carried my work.
It was the art that provided the       for me to get up every morning and do something,
      sitting in front of the television. Society has such       expectations of the disabled person, so it’s very easy to get sucked into a dependency routine --- you know, the “give me” kind of attitude. And that’s what I take the most       in --- the fact that what I’m doing today is well received all over.

Who is the author of Cooking with Kids?

What do we learn about Cooking with Kids?

What’s the main purpose of the passage?

My name is Pablo. I think I’m a lucky guy. I have a good family, and we live in a nice neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. People travel here from many countries for their vacations. We have beautiful beaches, hotels, restaurants, shopping and sports.
However, in my beautiful hometown, there are also very poor neighborhoods. These areas are crowded and have a lot of crime. Life is terrible for many of the children in these areas. Some don’t really have a childhood because they’re homeless and live on the streets. They don’t have education. They don’t have enough food. Many use drugs or have diseases or mental problems.
Last year, I came back to Puerto Vallarta from my university in Mexico City. I spent one year as a volunteer with an organization called Outreach International. They have several programs. I volunteered for one program to help street children.
I worked in a home for street children (all boys, at this one). At this home, the boys have a place to sleep and three meals daily. The home keeps the boys off the streets. It shows them another way of life. As a volunteer, I helped to prepare meals. I taught games---such as basketball, football and art. I helped the kids with their homework. These kids can be fun. They have a lot of energy, but they’re also really tough. Their hardships on the streets make them strong and not always “sweet little children.”
At this boys’ home, I met two other volunteers---Brian from Canada and Greg from Australia. In many ways, we were very similar. We were the same age, came from good homes and had a good education. They were both college students, like me. We became very good friends. Now, we email each other.
It was the best---and most difficult---year of my life. I learned a lot that year.
What do we learn about the author?

What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

According to the author, what makes the street children really tough?

What is the best title for the passage?

It does not matter who wins. We are told that from day one. Usually, that statement is followed by some remark about being a loser. If we do not care who wins, then why do we compete? Fun, experience, the chance to meet new people --- these are the reasons we try to outdo each other.
People will compete over anything. Every Christmas, my neighbors and I have a little Christmas light competition. It is heaven for the electric company, but I think we give Will Rogers Airport a scare. It is bright enough to land a plane in our front yards. I admit that last year my neighbors won, but only because they bought every strand of lights Wal-Mart had before I could get there.
Personal competitions are great, but we get a little carried away. I cannot stand to see coaches shout at kids playing sports. Who cares if someone messes up and the other team advances?
I’m tired of people competing just to win. It happens not only in sports, but in music competitions, too. People auditioning（试音）for chair placement in certain bands can get really unfriendly. This year I did not audition for a certain band, but I went to auditions anyway. This was the first time I actually had the opportunity to comprehend the whole picture.
Other times I’ve been the person who was nervous and anxious. This time, I sat back and observed everyone else. I came to the realization that the people who aren’t so good are terrified of the good people, and the good people are scared stiff that the bad people have taken lessons and can now show them up. Unless a person is on the outside looking in, I don’t think anyone realizes this.
Maybe competing is human nature, but we shouldn’t let it influence our judgment. Being disrespectful to opponents（对手）, letting competition become our life, and becoming so involved that we close ourselves off from friends and family is not the meaning of competition.
A little competition is healthy, so it shouldn’t hurt anyone. If it does, someone somewhere needs to back off, find the good thing hidden inside, and try it again. Winning isn’t everything, and losing isn’t the end of the world.
The author mentions his competition with his neighbors to __________.

The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.

From the passage, we can learn that _______.

Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept?

The chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps. Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!
Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?
Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!
Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.
Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to know what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.
When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was going on---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.
“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food well. “They seemed to rub（摩擦）the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly. ”
Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses（病毒）. Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!
Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing the leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the bloodstream directly,” he suggests, “instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”
We can learn from the passage that _________.

How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?

The author wrote the passage to ___________.

What does the passage mainly talk about?

Online courses are a terrific way for busy people.        You might have a full time job with a packed schedule and need to study at irregular times. You might want to benefit from the quality of education in another country. In this article you will learn about what it takes to succeed in online courses.
    Time management is an important skill to develop. First, calculate how much time you will need to study every day. Then, allot（分配）a specific time in your schedule for studying. If you are busy during the day, then separate a few hours at night for studies. If you do not schedule study time, chances are you will not get any.
Then, the good place to study can be different from student to student. Some prefer to study in complete silence. Others need some kind of soft music around them to concentrate.     
It can be easy to get distracted（分散）when it is time to study. One of the most common mistakes students of online courses make is leaving their chat and email accounts open while studying. This may seem like a small distraction, but it can end up wasting a lot of your time.    
In conclusion, it takes hard work and concentration to succeed in online courses.   
The more effort you put into learning the course material, the better equipped you will be to succeed in your professional career.

E. The secret to succeeding in online courses is learning how to manage your time.
F. If you leave the door open for distraction it will come in and make itself at home.
G. For the most part, a quiet room away from your busy and noisy home or office is recommended.
