盲道上的爱
①上班的时候,我看见同事方老师正一辆辆地搬走停放在学校门口人行道上的自行车。我就走过去,和她一道搬。
②我说:“车子放得这么乱,的确有碍观瞻。”她冲我笑了笑,说:“那是次要的,主要是这些车子侵占了盲道。”我不好意思地红了脸,说:“您瞧我,多无知。”
③方老师说:“其实,我也是从无知过来的。两年前,我女儿视力急剧下降,到医院一检查,医生说她视网膜出了问题,并让我做好充足的心理准备。我没听懂,问为啥要做充足的心理准备。医生说:‘你女儿有可能失明’。我听了差点昏过去。我央求医生说:‘我女儿才二十岁啊,没了眼睛怎么行!医生啊,求求你,把我的眼睛取出来给我女儿吧’。那一段时间,我暗暗地为自己的这个决定做好了充足的准备。为了让自己适应失明以后的生活,家中无人时,我就开始闭着眼睛拖地抹桌,洗衣做饭。每天下班后,我就闭上眼睛沿着盲道往家走。那盲道,也就两砖宽,砖上有八道杠。一开始,我走得磕磕绊绊,脚说什么也踩不准那两块砖。在回家的路上,石头绊倒过我,车子碰到过我,我多想睁开眼睛瞅瞅呀,可一想到有一天我将彻底地生活在黑暗里,我就硬是不叫自己睁眼。到后来,我在盲道上走熟了,脚竟认得了那八道杠。我真高兴,自己终于可以做个百分之百的盲人了。也就在这个时候,我女儿的眼病居然奇迹般地好了。有天晚上,我们一家人在街上散步,我让女儿解下她的围巾蒙住我的眼睛,我要给他们父女俩表演一回走盲道。结果,我一直顺利地走到了家门前。解开围巾,我看见走在后面的丈夫和女儿都哭成了泪人儿——你说,在这一条条盲道上,发生过多少叫人流泪动心的故事啊!要是这条人间最苦的道连起码的畅通都不能保证,那不是咱明眼人的耻辱吗!”
④带着方老师讲述的故事,我开始深情地关注那条“人间最苦的道”,国内的,国外的,江南的,塞北的……
⑤我向每一条畅通的盲道问好,我弯腰捡起盲道上碍脚的石子。有时候,我一个人走路,我就跟自己说:喂,闭上眼睛,你也试着走一回盲道吧。尽管我的脚不认得那八道杠,但是,那硌脚的感觉那样真切地瞬间从足底传到了心间。我明白,有一种挂念已深深地嵌入了我的生命。痛与爱纠结着,压迫我的心房,促我身体力行。
⑥让那条窄路宽心地延伸吧,我替他们谢谢你。

[问题1][简答题]
写出第②段中加横线词语“无知”在文中的含义。
[问题2][简答题]
医生为什么要让方老师做好“充足的心理准备”?方老师自己做的“决定”和“准备”又是什么?
1.没有注意到车子侵占了盲道,没有自觉主动地帮助盲人的意识。(或不明白方老师搬车的原因和意图。)
2.如果方老师的女儿真的失明,会对方老师的女儿、方老师及她的家庭带来非常大的影响,所以医生让她做好“充足的心理准备”。(或因为方老师的女儿有可能失明,医生怕方老师到时承受不了,所以医生让她做好“充足的心理准备”。)

A Master of Nonverbal Humour
As Victor Hugo once said,"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face",and up to?now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.He brightened the lives of Americans?and British through two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when?they felt depressed,so they could feel more content with their lives.
Not that Charlie′s own life was easy!He was born in a poor family in 1889.His parents were both?poor music hall performers.You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he?could speak and dance as soon as he could walk.Such training was common in acting families at this?time,especially when the family income was often uncertain.Unfortunately his father died,leaving the?family even worse off,so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother.By his?teens,Charlie had,through his humour,become one of the most popular child actors in England.He could?mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks.No one was ever bored watching him--his subtle?acting made everything entertaining.
As time went by,he began making films.He grew more and more popular as his charming character,the little tramp,became known throughout the world.The tramp,a poor,homeless man with a moustache,wore large trousers,worn-out shoes and a small round black hat.He walked around stiffly carrying a walk-ing stick.This character was a social failure but was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome?all difficulties.He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.
How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining?Here is an example from one of his most?famous films,The Gold Rush.It is the end of the nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in?Alaska.Like so many others,the little tramp has rushed there in search of gold,but without success.
Instead he and another man are hiding in a small hut during a snowstorm with nothing to eat.They are so?hungry that the little tramp tries boiling one of his leather shoes for dinner.
Charlie cuts off the leather top of the shoe and shares the shoe with the other fellow.He tries cutting?and chewing the bottom of the shoe as if it were the finest steak.Then he picks out the lace of the shoe?and eats it as if it were spaghetti.He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment.The acting is so convincing?that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted.
Charlie Chaplin wrote,directed and produced the films he starred in.In 1972 he was given a special?Oscar for his outstanding work in films.He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in?Switzerland,where he was buried in 1977.He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire?people with great confidence.

Passage 2
Environmental activists in South Korea are condemning a government plan to hunt endangered whales for scientific research. They believe the plan is part of an effort to re-start commercial whaling activities. Such ac-tivities are banned in many countries. South Korea announced the proposal in July at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Panama. The head of the South Korean delegation said the plan was needed to answer questions about minke whale populations. He said the hunt would take place near the South Korean coast. But he did not say how many of the animals would be caught.
The International Whaling Commission has yet to malre a decision on the South Korean plan. The organi-zation banned commercial whaling in 1986 because of concerns about the survival of whale species. But now, some South Korean fishermen say they are facing a threat from minke whales. They say these animals are eat-ing what would have been their catch.
The plan was immediately condemned by anti-whaling nations. Wildlife activists also criticized the pro-posal. Han Jeong-hee works in Seoul for the environmental group Greenpeace. "It′s really regretful to hear that Korean government is, like, considering conducting scientific whaling. Scientific whaling is just, like,thinly-disguised commercial whaling. And, you know, we are of course against all commercial whaling. Japan′s the only country which is doing scientific whaling at the moment and Korea is just trying to follow that. "
Apart from the plan in South Korea, an aquarium (水族馆) in the American state of Georgia also wants to import eighteen beluga whales from Russia. The United States currently has 31 beluga whales. They are liv-ing in six aquariums and marine parks. Four of them are at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.
The Georgia Aquarium has asked the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for permission to import the beluga whales. If it was approved, aquarium officials would send some of the animals to the other facilities.
The Georgia Aquarium says it hopes to use the beluga whales in research, education and breeding pro-grams. They currently are being held at a Russian research center. Yet many people oppose the plan. They say it is wrong to catch any wild animal.
NOAA officials are studying how the beluga whales might be affected by being brought to the United States. They also want to know whether the Georgia Aquarium and its partners can properly care for the whales and how they might be used in educational activities. The federal Marine Mammal Protection Act sets rules which NOAA must consider when deciding whether these animals may be imported. NOAA officials told VOA they plan to make a decision on the request by early next year.
The Georgia Aquarium wants to import beluga whales in that_________.

Passage 1
Oprah Winfrey has come a long way from her poor childhood home in a small Mississippi town. She was an unwanted child whose parents never married. She was brought up on her grandmother′s farm. The possibil-ity that she would become rich and famous was slim.
Oprah′s mother left her child in her mother′s care, so she could go to work in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was a strict and difficult life for Oprah. But it also led the way for her future.
She was a highly intelligent child. By the age of three, she had learned to read and write. She also made her first public appearance at that age. Oprah′s intelligence was resented (憎恨) by other children of her age. They called her unkind names and pushed her away. Oprah felt very isolated and unwanted. It made her feel worse that she didn′t live with her mother and father. She felt that no one loved her. This made her angry and rebellious (叛逆的). These feelings brought her much trouble as she was growing up. She often behaved badly, causing her grandmother to punish her. By the age of seven, she was too much for her grandmother to discipline.
Then Oprah went to live with her mother, Vernita, who worked very hard as a housekeeper in Milwaukee. It was hard for her to work and take care of her bright, troublesome child. They lived in poverty in a small apartment. Oprah took out all her angry feelings on her mother. When Oprah was eight, Vernita sent her to live with her father and stepmother in Nashville, Tennessee.
But she moved again a few months later when Vernita married a man with two children. Vernita wanted Oprah to be with her and her new family. Unfortunately, she felt she didn′t belong with them. She believed she wasn′t loved by anyone. Her angry and frustration grew stronger. She struck back by misbehaving and running away from home. Her parents found her impossible to discipline. When she was 14,they tried to send her to a special center for troubled girls.
But there was no room for her. So Vernita sent Oprah back to live with her father. Vernon Winfrey was by then a successful businessman and family man. He took one look at his daughter and knew she needed love, guidance and discipline. He gave her all three. It was a turning point in Oprah′s life. He was strict about his daughter′s education. He gave her homework in addition to her schoolwork. She was allowed to watch only one hour of television a day. She became an A student and a popular girl in her class. Oprah watched Barbara Waiters, a famous journalist, and decided that was what she wanted to be.
When she was still in high school, she got a part-time job reading news on the radio. In her senior year she won a beauty contest and a four-year scholarship to Tennessee State University.
While still in college she was offered a job as a news broadcaster at a local television station. She was the first female and the first African-American newscaster in Nashville. She was promoted to anchor ,the most important position on the news team,while still a senior.
After Oprah graduated she got a job with a Baltimore news station. But she soon realized that broadcast-ing news wasn′t enough for her. She had to let her personality shine through. She wanted to show emotion when she told a story, not just report it. Meanwhile the station managers were thinking the same way. They removed her from the anchor spot and wondered what to do with her. Finally they put her on an early morning talk show called People Are Talking. No one knew what to expect. The show was a great success. In a very short time, the managers and Oprah all knew what she was born to do. She was everything a talk show host should be.
She was so successful that she got a show with a bigger station in Chicago. In 1985 the show was changed to The Oprah Winfrey Show. It was broadcast nationally and soon became the most popular talk show on television. By the age of 35, Oprah Winfrey was one of the most famous celebrities in America.
What does the underlined sentence imply?
