Dear Johnson，
I ordered a birthday gift for my sister on the Internet three days ago. It was a beautiful pink cup decorated with my sister’s name，her date of birth，and some best wishes to her as well. It was so lovely a cup with a picture of a cartoon dog on it that both my sister and I liked it at first sight.
Besides，I am very satisfied with Alipay Security Control，which is very convenient and safe. And so is the delivery service.I have received the cup within two days. Don’t you think it’s very fast?
I have enjoyed shopping online very much through this experience.There is no doubt that more and more people prefer shopping online nowadays.We don’t have to spend much time going to the shops or markets with such a good variety of choices on the Internet.Agree with me?
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice.Gifts are easy—they’re given after all.Choices can be hard.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year.I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast，and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30 years old，and I’d been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most startups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy，I’d been a garage inventor.I’d always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I
had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That 1ogic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision.Seen in that light，it really was a difficult choice，but finally，I decided I had to give it a shot.I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration，I took the less safe path to follow my passion，and I’m proud of that choice.For all of us，in the end，we are our choice.

Kids with an illness would have special needs，too. 15 Kids with sight problems might need Braille books to read.Kids with hearing problems might need hearing aids.
16 It might be harder to do normal things—like learning to read or just getting around the school.The good news is that parents，doctors，nurses，teachers，and others can help.The goal is to help kids be as independent as possible.
Other kids also can be a big help.How？By being a friend.Kids who use a wheelchair or have lots of health problems want friends just as you do.But meeting people and making friends can be difficult. 17 Be sure to tell a teacher if you see someone being bullied(欺辱) or teased.

语篇解读 本文是一篇关于如何帮助及照顾有特殊需要的孩子的文章。
14.答案 B
解析 本段为全文首段，主要解释“kids with special needs”
的含义。根据前一句的主语they，我们首先想到B和F。B承接首句，继续说明残疾孩子的特殊需要，also表示“也”，与此处语境吻合。故选B。F有一定的干扰性但下文第三段专门讨论这一话题，若选F，就会出现不必要的重复。
15.答案 F
解析 根据首句可知，本段承接第一段继续说明“有特殊需要的孩子”的不同情况，B和F与此关联。但对于“Kids with an illness”来说，F中的“medicine”显然比“get a special bus to school”更为合理，故选F。
16.答案 C
解析 根据本段内容可知，本段的话题为“有特殊需要的孩子的生活相对艰难”， 并且C中的life显然与下句主语it一致，较好地保持话题一致，有利于突出中心话题， 故选C。
17.答案 A
解析 从本段开始，文章就如何帮助“kids with special needs”进行说明。上句说：和人交往和交友，对于这些孩子来说，可能会有难度。原因何在？显然A是最好的解释，且A中的“laugh at or make fun of”与下句的“bullied(欺辱) or teased”吻合，故选A。
18.答案 E
解析 分析本文的语篇结构可知，首段就“kids with special needs”的含义做出解释，第二段是就不同类型的情况做进一步的说明，第三段呼吁人们对这些孩子给予关爱和帮助。第四、五段则就如何帮助提出建议。本段的中心话题是如何帮助，D和E有关联，但D更像是评论，而不是指引，且E中的“to be helpful” 与下文一致，故选E。
Ⅳ.完形填空

department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve，so the shift(轮班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm，the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale，and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family，I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough，but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9 pm sharp，the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them，the man introduced himself as Mr.Lee and said，“You probably don’t remember me，but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me，handed me a small gift，and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group，but I wanted to see if Mr.and Mrs.Lee would return.This time，I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again，at exactly 9 pm，the Lees appeared，carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.Mr.Lee，his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.
