When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzo’s parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies weren’t interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error, they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named "Lorenzo’s Oil", saved the boy’s life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.Finally, the boy’s father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy.【小题1】Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because_____ .A.they had never treated the disease beforeB.Lorenzo was too young to be curedC.no cure had been found for ALDD.ALD was a rare disease【小题2】The families of other ALD patients thought that _____ .A.the research for the new cure would cost too much moneyB.the efforts of Lorenzo’s parents were a waste of timeC.Lorenzo’s parents would succeed in finding a cureD.Lorenzo’s oil was a real cure for ALD【小题3】Scientists and doctors believed that Lorenzo’s Oil_____.A.was really effectiveB.was a success storyC.only worked in theoryD.would save the boy’s life【小题4】From the passage we can conclude that_____.A.doctors remain doubtful of the effectiveness of the cureB.many ALD patients still refuse to use the oilC.various cures have been found for ALDD.the oil really works as a cure for ALD

A busy schedule coupled with lack of time does not always make it possible to continue your education along with your job and family responsibilities. However, distance learning has made it possible to work and pursue your academic interests at the same time. There are a few important things to consider when choosing a distance learning college. Accreditation (认证) should be the leading standard. Degrees from colleges without any official accreditation are not recognized by employers and will only mean a waste of money and time. Also make sure that the college does not have any fake accreditation. The services offered by the distance learning institutes should also be considered, including placement services. The credentials (文凭) of the distance learning program and its past record will help you in choosing an institute. Colleges offer various types of distance learning degrees. There are both short-term courses that may last only a few weeks and long-term graduate and postgraduate courses that require 2 to 3 years of study. Distance learning MBA is one of the most sought-after degree by management executives. Distance learning programs are run both by traditional colleges and schools along with their normal courses and also by independent institutes specializing in distance learning facilities. It is best to choose a program run by the traditional colleges, as these are given the same recognition as to their normal courses. It is also important that you personally visit the institute and interact with the staff to gain detailed information on their teaching methods and principles, the type of study material provided and personal guidance, if any, provided by the distance learning college. To make your distance learning program a success, it is important that you interact with other students who have enrolled in the program. Interaction will help in deciding how to make your method of study efficient. Try to have a weekend session with other students from your area or region. Furthermore, regular communications with the training staff will also help clear any questions that you may have.1.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longerinterested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling orconsidered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, very differentideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over generallanguage development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage achild to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding himback with the complexities of spelling?If spelling becomes the only focal(焦点的) point of his teacher's interest, clearly abright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend towrite only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurouslanguage. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries andpay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece ofwriting about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are fartoo many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (难以辨认)” It may have been a sharpcriticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sadreflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which containedsome beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was notwrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered onthe child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentationwould have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.36.

A. the difficulties in teaching spelling B. the role of spelling in generallanguage developmentC. the complexities of the basic writingskills D. the necessity of teaching spelling 37.
