This worried me because Carla's great ideas almost always meant big trouble for me!I rushed outside and jogged to the park. When I saw Carla, my heart sank because her huge dog Perro was with her. I liked everything about Carla except Perro. I'd never had a pet, so I felt uncomfortable and nervous around animals. I was embarrassed to say that I was afraid of Carla's dog. Carla smiled. "Isn't this the perfect location fbr a pet show?” she asked. "All the kids in the neighborhood can show off their pets' talents and demonstrate the things they do well. There are plenty of comfortable benches （长椅）fbr our parents and friends to sit on. And since you don't have a pet to enter into the show, you will be the announcer.”'Tm sorry,“ I apologized, “but that's impossible! Crowds made me nervous and unsure. Besides, I didn't like animals, remember? "That's nonsense,“ said Carla. “There's nothing to be concerned about because you'll be great!” Carla encouraged me to be brave and confident. But just then, Perro leaped up, slobbered all over （毫不掩饰地表示喜爱）me, and almost knock me down. “Down, Perro! Stay!” I shouted. Perro sat as still as a statue. “Wow, you're good at that/9 said Carla. She thought I was talented at giving orders to pets, and asked me to get started with her immediately because we would have a lot to do.By Saturday morning I had practiced announcing each pet's act a hundred times. I felt my heart pounding by the time the audience arrived. The size of the crowd made me feel even more anxious. When the show began, I announced the first pet, nervously.

She longed to play the cello（大提琴），but the cello requires two hands-one to hold the bow, the other to work the four strings.Lucy daughter of Lara Houk and Zak Houk, has one arm-her left-and only a partial right arm.She was bom prematurely at 24 weeks with lots of problems. Lucy's night arm is missing just below the elbow, but "Whatever she wants to do, we find a way to do it." Lara said.Lucy, an easy going eighth-grader at Highland Middle School in the Blackhawk School District, said, “I can tie my shoes. I can jump rope. But what I really wanted was to play the cello, but no one could think of anything to help me play it back then.Last winter, Eric Baker noticed Lucy. Baker, who joined the district two years ago, is the orchestra director for fourth through 12th grades. He collaborated（协'彳乍）with Dale Moll, a technology and engineering teacher at the high school, to find a way to make an adaptive bow holder that could be attached to Lucy's elbow. While a student at Duquesne University, Baker took a class and attended a seminar on adaptive instruments for students with special needs, but never thought he'd have to apply what he learned-until he met Lucy.“I hope more people don't think because of their physical limitation that they can't do something. There are so many ways to work around this kind of thing, especially with all the technology we have around these days,“ Baker said.The Highland teachers “went above and beyond their normal, average, everyday teaching job to do something special fbr Lucy and gave her an opportunity like every other kid J Lara said.Today, playing the cello with her classmates, Lucy feels like every other kid.4.

Putting what he's lamed in a seminar into practice.D. Working with the technology and engineering teacher.7. What did Lara think of the Highland teachers?A. They went the extra mile at work.B. They were skilled in teaching music.C. They were devoted and gave Lucy lots of opportunities.D. They would give enough attention to kids with special needs.CStereotypes （亥U板印象）are widely held but very general, simplified opinions about other people. Many of us start to use stereotypes at school - the cool kids or the hot kids - we know all the different ones by heart.Looks, clothes, personal traits （特征）and interests are all aspects which, on the surface of it, make us different from our contemporaries. Students pounce on these in order to categorise others. “When you're a social animal, you need to understand who is a member of your pack, and who is a member of a different pack J says psychology professor, John Dovidio.A girl dressed all in black may seem a bit depressed. But perhaps, deep down inside, she just likes black and is actually cheerful. She has the same interests as you 一 （the “cool kid“）一 but she just dresses differently. The problem of typecasting is that it involves using labels which are merely shells （夕卜表）containing assumptions. It makes one wonder why people see only a narrow view of a complicated human being.According to Dovidio, even if we think we don't stereotype others, we do. "We categorise immediately and without thinking,says Dovidio. "And we stereotype others not just on their appearance, how they dress or act, but - wrongly - on their race and sex too.”Student stereotypes may have special meanings, as teens are in the process of forming their own identity and figuring out who they feel most comfortable with. To some extent, stereotyping offers a sense of order, direction and connection to the close friends they make over time. But it's too simple to make assumptions that "they" - teenagers in other groups - are alike or different from “us”. It，s easy to throw a group of people into a bucket （水桶）and judge them as a whole; ifs much more difficult to look at each person as an individual. On the other hand, Jim, another high school student, says “by labelling people we're actually highlighting similarities not differences. If we didn't stereotype, it would make many things today impossible. Think of marketing studies focused on specific audiences, or clubs for people with similar interests or hobbies.”Which can best replace the underlined part "pounce orT in paragraph two?A. Put up with.B. Make fun of.C. Take pride in.D. Catch hold of.8. What does the author want to suggest by mentioning the girl in black?A. Don't distinguish yourself from others.B. Don't make simple things complicated.C. Don't identify others by their appearance.D. Don't label others according to their personal traits.9. What do Dovidio's words in paragraph four tell us?A. We cannot avoid being stereotyped.B. We may correctly recognise others' sex.C. We cannot help the way we react to others.D. We may make wrong judgements about ourselves.10. Which word best describes Jim's attit
