The Only Answer that Matters
It's said that we begin to cut our wisdom teeth the moment we bite off more than we can chew. But do we ever feel as if we have enough __36__？If we have arrived，does it mean that we are wise?
Jeff Hull writes about his great aunt Momma J. At 96，she was the last of her __37__. As the family was gathered at her sister's funeral，a cousin __38__ to Jeff that they were soon to be moving into the family's oldest generation and __39__ soon. Jeff looked at his cousin and said __40__，“But，Mary，I don't feel like I know the answers yet.”
After everyone __41__ a lot，Mary turned to Momma J and said，“When does that change，Momma？”
Momma J, from her wheelchair, __42__ up and said smilingly，“I don't know yet，dear.” People laughed again.
After reflecting what they said just now，Jeff Hull asked this _43__ question：“How often do we let our own story about our __44__ stop us from doing what we want to，what we are __45__ to，in life？” He was asking，“How often do we feel as if we have to know the answers __46__ we can keep on learning，before we can follow our __47__，or before we can attempt something __48__？”
Someone has ever said like this：Regret for the things we did can be __49__ by time while it is regret for the things we did not do that is __50__. You and I do not have all the answers to all the problems yet. The __51__ is，we never will. But if we wait for all the __52__，we will never move forward.
For no __53__，the only answer that matters is…take that next step. With courage，follow your heart's desire. The path ahead may be dark and __54__，for we can never see far into the future. But it is always __55__ enough to take one more step. And it's the way to a full and happy life.

四. 阅读理解（每小题2分，共15题，满分30分）
A
Cittaslow has discovered China, and it is awarding a little village in Jiangsu the title of “slow city”．
The bored teenagers of Gaochun are impatient with the leisurely pace of hometown life. For them there is no nightlife to speak of, no bright lights, no excitement and they cannot wait to grow up and leave for the urban attractions of the big cities. But it is this laidback lifestyle that has attracted international attention. At least, a quiet village within Gaochun county has come under the spotlight. Yaxi village, population 20,000, is about to be designated China's first “slow city” by Cittaslow, the sustainable lifestyle movement that first surfaced in Italy 11 years ago.
At home, the residents at Yaxi are unfazed and pretty much unimpressed by the honor. To them, life has been like this for as long as they can remember. Here, growing old gracefully is natural.
Nobody living in this little county had heard of Cittaslow or the words “slow city” before this.
“The first time I heard the term was last July, when the vice president of Cittaslow, Angelo Vassallo, visited Yaxi village，” says Zuo Niansheng, the chief editor of local newspaper Gaochun Today.
“Vassallo was deeply impressed by this village's natural and cultural resources and said it perfectly fitted the requirements for a slow city，” says Zuo. That was how Yaxi became connected with Cittaslow.
The Slow City must also be committed to protect and maintain the natural environment as well as promote a sustainable way of development, all of which are the current strategies adopted in Gaochun. “We've been doing this for years，”adds Zuo.
Cittaslow was founded in Tuscany, Italy in 1999. It was a spinoff from the Slow Food Movement which started, also in Italy, in 1986 as a protest against the first McDonald's opening near the Spanish Steps in Rome. The movement championed a return to healthy, nutritious homegrown, homecooked foods.
Slow Food has expanded globally to more than 130 countries. Its mission has also broadened to include the promotion of sustainable foods and local small businesses, and the localization as opposed to globalization of food production.
Cittaslow is an expansion of the Slow Food Movement, and it actively advocates a lifestyle that is sustainable, and that will improve quality of life, and will preserve cultural and culinary (烹饪的) heritage.
56．According to the passage, Cittaslow is a(n) ________.
A．organization B．person C．lifestyle D．honor
57．What's the reaction of the residents at Yaxi to the award according to the passage ?
A．Very excited. B．Very shocked. C．Indifferent. D．Very happy.
58. Why is the village Yaxi awarded the title of “slow city”？
A．Because it is full of excitement and activities of nightlife.
B．Because the residents at Yaxi enjoy a leisure life.
C．Because it is very rich and has a lot of attractions.
D．Because foreign people prefer small towns.
59．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．young people at Yaxi enjoy their life very much
B．China is more and more popular with foreign people
C．the first McDonald's in Europe was opened in Spain
D．the lifestyle of “slow city” will be good to environment and people

For many blind people, computers are inaccessible. It can cost $1,000 to purchase “screen reader” software, but two blind computer programmers from Australia have solved this problem.
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) graduate James Teh and business partner Michael Curran developed a free, open-source program, called NVDA, which provides a voice to read the words on a computer screen as the cursor(光标) moves over them. NVDA won the blind inventors an award in the grand final program of the ABC’s New Inventors, which aired on September 23. They took home the award for an invention that “might make a real difference to people’s lives or the environment.”
“A sighted person takes for granted that they can sit down at any computer and use it,” Mr Teh said. “We really are in the information age — everything is online these days. So access to computers for the blind is very important, which is why we wanted our software to be free.”
Mr Teh, who majored in software engineering at QUT, said blind students typically didn’t have the money to purchase “screen reader” technology, at the time in their life when they most needed it. Now NVDA could be downloaded on to anyone’s personal computer free of charge.
“It can also be copied to a USB stick, which can be used on any PC at school or university, with no installation required,” he said.
Mr Teh and Mr Curran have drawn on their own experience as blind computer users to develop a product which has some unique features. For example, as the mouse moves up and down the screen, a sound becomes higher and lower to let you know where the cursor is located.
NVDA has been translated into 27 languages, thanks to volunteer translators. To date, there have been over 50,000 downloads.
Mr Teh and Mr Curran have been working on the project since 2006. They worked on their product without any pay for two years. When Mozilla offered some funding in 2008, Mr Teh was able to quit his day job and work full-time developing NVDA.
64. NVDA won an award in the program of the ABC’s New Inventors because it _____.
A．causes no harm to the environment B．influences people’ s lives
C．is aiming at blind people D．is easy to use
65. Why did James Teh and Michael Curran want their software to be free?
A．They got funding from Mozilla. B．They belonged to a volunteer group.
C．They wanted to help the blind. D．They wanted people to give up “screen reader” software.
66. What do we know about Teh and Curran?
A．They are studying at QUT. B．They are good at translating.
C．They know how the blind feel. D．They began to develop NVDA in 2008.

Mr. Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the henhouses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the door. With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side, he drew himself a last glass of beer and made his way up to bed.
As soon as the light in the bedroom went out, there was a big noise all through the farm buildings. Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White pig, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn (谷仓) as soon as Mr.Jones was safely out of the way.
At one end of the big barn, Major lay on his bed of straw comfortably. He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather heavy, but he was still a nicelooking pig, with a wise and easygoing appearance. Before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves comfortable after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately beside Major. The two carthorses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs (蹄子) with great care for fear that there should be some small animals hidden in the straw. Clover was a motherly big horse approaching middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth kid.
Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of firstrate intelligence, but he was well respected for his steadiness of character and extraordinary abilities. After the horses came Benjamin, the donkey. Benjamin got angry easily. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make all such remarks — for instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would rather have had no tail and no flies. Alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed. If asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at.
67．All the animals came to the barn to ________.
A．vote for a farm master B．listen to Major's strange dream
C．discuss how to win a prize D．share how to drive Mr. Jones away
68．According to the passage, Clover was ________.
A．considerate and in good shape B．oldaged and out of shape
C．a fat horse with a gentle heart D．a pretty horse with a nice character
69．What earned Boxer high respect?
A．His strong build and great wisdom. B．His calm character and great powers of work.
C．His good temper and strong build. D．His steady character and quick mind.
70．Which remark could be to Benjamin's taste?
A．Life is like a box of sweets. B．Life is an interesting journey.
C．Life is a battle. D．There is nothing exciting in life.

Recently a public service advertisement Family has impressed and moved me deeply.
In my childhood, my father went through hardships to support the whole family while my mother always worked without complaint. She would get me up for school, feed me with nutrient food and assist my father in family chores. Years after, I grew tired of their suggestions and even behaved badly towards my nagging mother, feeling an urge to get rid of the control and be independent.
It was not until one day when I saw their white hair that I realized that our parents had been devoting all the energy to making sure of our healthy development. Now it is time for us to do what we can in return for their hard work. What we shall do now is study hard and make progress in our study. Only in this way can we live up to their good wishes and take better care of our loving parents in the future.
