9.There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident.After the accident,only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.
He was a brilliant,creative,and educated man.He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world,so he became very depressed after his accident.He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way.Then,he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult.An idea occurred to him."Why not write to other people who need encouragement?"
He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners.The prison minister replied,"Writing to the prisoners is acceptable,but your letters will not be answered."
    Filled with excitement,the man knew he could write his letters.He began sending one-way messages of God's love,hope,strength,and encouragement.He wrote twice a week,testing his strength and ability to the limit.He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience,sense of humor,optimism,and faith.
    It was difficult to write those letters,especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
    The letter said,"Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!"
No matter what circumstances life may present,we all have unique experiences,abilities,and God-given talents.We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.

Liverpool, my hometown, is a special city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage(遺產(chǎn))Site.

I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist (薄霧), Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.

As if stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries  than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, madding the city a place of wonder.

As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub (酒館). It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.

Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

4.On Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman,the violinist,came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert,you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.He was stricken with polio(小兒麻痹癥)as a child,and so he has braces(支架)on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(雙拐).
He walks painfully,yet majestically,until he reaches his chair.Then he sits down,slowly,puts his crutches on the floor,undoes the clasps on his legs,tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward.Then he bends down and picks up the violin,puts it under his chin,nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.
But this time,something went wrong.Just as he fmished the first few bars(小節(jié)),one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear it snap(嘣斷)---it went off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that meant.There was no mistaking what he had to do.
We figured that he would have to get up,put on the clasps again,pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage-to either find another violin or else find another string for this one.But he didn't.Instead.he waited a moment,closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
The orchestra began,and he played from where he had left off.And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.
When he finished,there was an awesome silence in the room.And then people rose and cheered.He smiled,wiped the sweat from this brow,raised his bow to quit us,and then he said in a quiet tone."You know,sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left."

46.By saying"getting on stage is no small achievement for him",the author really meansB.
A.it's very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
B.it's not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled
C.it's not easy for ltzhak Perlman to face such a large audience
D.it's really great achievements for ltzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings.
47.When one of the strings broke,people thought Itzhak Perlman wouldC
A.go on playing with the remaining three strings
B.give up playing
C.change or repair his violin
D.get off the stage with shame
48.Itzhak PerlmanCwhen one of the strings of the violin broke.
A.gave up playing
B.didn't know what to do
C.went on playing the same piece of music
D.went on playing a different piece of music
49.What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?C
A.Surprised.    B.Disappointed.    C.Moved. D.Satistied.
50.Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who isB.
A.clever    B.strong willed    C.humourous   D.quite skilled.

Dear Jeremy and Alice,
Although we've been delighted to have you as neighbors,we're hoping to settle something that bothers to us.In a word,your dog-Cleo.
We've called several time about Cleo's early morning barking.It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she's outside.The early morning barking have been disturbing us as we are often up all night with the baby.Beside,Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day.This morning she starts barking even before 5 o'clock.That is too much for us,considering how closely the houses are.
We appreciate our apologies and goodwill,but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.
Sincerely,
Jack and Rose.
