It was a bitter winter night in New Yorkcold enough to keep most people indoors. But outside the Elwain home, someone was
3、 bouncing a ball repeatedly against the asphalt, totally ignoring the frigid air. It was Jason, a tall teenager, dressed lightly against the February chill, doing what he loved most: shooting hoops. No matter the weather, Jason practiced basketball, if not at home, then at his high school, Greece At
4、hena. B. As a junior, he tried out for college team, but Jason is autistic (孤独症的), and lacking the fine coordination and strength of the other players, he didn“t make it. He practiced harder and tried out again as a senior, only to be met with the same disheartening result. But because Jason“s passi
5、on for basketball was so intense, the coach found a way for him to stay in the gameas the Trojans“ team manager. It was Jason“s job to hand out water and offer his teammates major doses of moral support. C. The Trojans enjoyed a solid season, playing 17 games and coming away with 12 victorieswhich w
6、as why, for their final home game, coach Jim asked his popular manager to suit up. As a surprise to Jason, he planned to let him play. With just four minutes left on the clock and the Trojans with a comfortable lead, Johnson called number 52 onto the court. D. A stunned Jason had his first shot badl
7、y, and he missed again with the second. Then suddenly, the 17-year-old made a clean hoop shot. He kept shooting, one basket after another, until he“d scored six three-pointers and one two-pointer for a total of 20 points. Applause filled the gymnasium as members of the crowd surged forward to lift J
8、ason onto their shoulders. Coach Jim actually wept, and Jason“s classmates waved signs with the boy“s face on them, screaming, “Jason, Jason.“ The kid who lived for basketball but was never picked for the team was suddenly the most unexpected streak shooter in high school hoops history. E. Jason bec
9、ame an instant celebrity, winning headlines across the country. Highlights of his streak were shown repeatedly on TV news and ESPN. Movie offers poured in from Hollywood studios, and last July, Jason won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in sports. “Though I knew it wasn“t going to be me, I never thoug
10、ht Jason would be the one in our family to become famous,“ his dad, David, a sales tax audit manager, says with a laugh. But Jason“s feat on the basketball court was hardly the first dramatic moment in his life. F. The younger of two boys born to David and Debbie Elwain, Jason seemed a normal infant
11、. Then, when he was six months old, everything changed. Jason became rigid if held; he soon stopped making eye contact and was completely unresponsive when he was rocked. “I knew something was wrong,“ says Debbie, a dentist. Though her husband and other relatives told her not to worry, Debbie couldn
12、“t avoid comparing Jason“s development with that of his brother, Josh, older by 18 months. “Josh talked a lot at age two,“ she says. “At the same age, Jason just sat in a corner and played with his fingers.“ G. David and Debbie, fearing the worst, took Jason to Strong Children“s Hospital in Rocheste
13、r for a complete evaluation. There, doctors diagnosed the boy with severe autism. Affecting some 1.5 million Americans, autism is the country“s fastest-growing developmental disability, although scientists do not know why. Jason also suffers from learning disabilities and has an IQ of 70. H. Debbie,
14、 who became her son“s personal warrior, says, “I was determined to get him out of it.“ Having discovered that with early intervention, there is a chance a severely autistic child can become high functioning, she enrolled Jason, at age three, in an intensive special education program. She also worked
15、 to keep him stimulated at home and talked to him ceaselessly. When he wouldn“t eat or drink, she“d flick the lights to distract him, then slip food into his open mouth. She made sure the only toys Jason received were the interactive kind. I. Like many autistic children, Jason was prone to violent b
16、ehaviors. He“d run screaming around the house. All his parents could do was grab him and hold him tight. In trying to restrain her son, Debbie sometimes got hurt. Once, Jason gave her a black eye; another time, he dislocated her shoulder. “I“d do anything to stop him from hurting himself,“ says Debb
17、ie, “but it was exhausting. The outbursts could last a half-hour.“ Still, she says, “you just keep going and try not to despair.“ J. And whatever Josh did, Jason tried to do too. “Usually at my insistence,“ says Josh, who has always been protective of his little brother. The boys learned to play gol
18、f together. When Josh, now an outgoing and strong 19-year-old, became a lifeguard, Jason took lessons. When Josh took up the violin, Jason decided to play an instrument. In their neighborhood, Josh stood up for his brother when kids teased Jason or tried to make him do foolish things. When a student
19、 at school stole Jason“s birthday money, Josh got it back. One downside to the brothers“ close relationship: It was tough for Jason to say goodbye when Josh headed to college two years ago. K. Change can be extremely hard for the autistic, who typically finds comfort in routine. “Jason is very super
20、stitious,“ explains Debbie. “Before basketball games, he insists that his supper consist of chicken soup, peaches, apple sauce and a glass of milkor his team will lose. And he has to wear the same black pants, white shirt and shoes courtside.“ Those shoes no longer fit the night of the last game, bu
21、t Jason wore them anywayand ended up with blisters. L. Today, Jason, now 18, has learned to control his autistic humming in public. And when the urge to flap his arms comes, he thrusts his hands deep into his pockets. He has not outgrown his difficulty in making eye contact, but unlike some people w
22、ith autism, he“s very social. M. Jason“s immediate response to his streak-shooting performance was pragmatic. “It was great to achieve this before finishing high school.“ He says. And his good fortune didn“t end there. He took a pretty sophomore to the senior prom. Josh was proud of his brother“s ac
23、hievement. “Everybody at my school knows who Jason is,“ he says. “Girls say to me, “Oh, my God, you“re Jason“s brother. That“s pretty cool.“ I think so, too.“ N. Late last spring, basketball great Magic Johnson paid a visit to Greece Athena High School to give a talk to the student body. “He said he
24、 was really proud of us, and especially of Jason,“ says one of Jason“s teammates. Johnson, who said he was “touched“ by Jason“s story, plans to serve as an executive producer on a Columbia Pictures movie about the boy. O. The film is expected to make Jason financially secure, alleviating one of his
25、parents“ longtime worries. “I believe he can hold a job and support himself,“ says his father. “But the film means he“ll be well looked after, and that“s what we care about.“ Jason is taking it all in stride. Last summer, he helped coach two Amateur Athletic Union basketball teams. At evening practi

31、 perpetually on the move. But it may be a surprise to learn that many of the residents in this bustling city don“t spend much time searching in their pockets for change, especially on public transport. Instead, they whip out their Octopus, a contactless smart card with a chip that communicates with
32、a fare processor in less than a second. It has been in use in Hong Kong since 1997. But what“s new about Octopus is that recent advances in technology mean that it“s being used with phones too. “Now with the advance of smart card technology, we“ve been able to insert the Octopus mobile SIM inside a
33、smart phone,“ explained Octopus CEO Kevin Goldmintz, in an interview with CNN“s Kristie Lu Stout. Since the Octopus card was released nearly two decades ago, its use has branched off into much more than just transport. Forgot your wallet, purse or cash? Not to worry. The Octopus can buy your coffee,
34、 a movie ticket, clothes, groceries and even allow you to shop online. Another new venture is that Octopus has recently partnered with Taobao. Though purchases have to remain relatively small with a current ceiling of $130 on each card, Octopus says it allows the customer to easily interact for a pu
35、rchase. Octopus has broadened its reach into mainland China with a dual card in Guangdong province and another in Shenzhen. “We“re able to put a Hong Kong dollar purse inside the card, as an e-wallet“ said Goldmintz. Octopus says its vision for the next ten years includes tackling the physical / dig
36、ital convergence and growing its e-commerce strategy. “And I think the other side of it will also be exporting the knowledge that we“ve accumulated over 17 years of doing contactless smart card, and placing that knowledge in other cities around the world,“ Goldmintz told Stout. As for the future, Oc
37、topus is optimistic that a cashless society will spread to other areas, particularly in its own patch of the Asia-Pacific area. “You know I buy my lunch with my Octopus. I pay for drinks on Octopus. I buy coffee with my Octopus,“ said Goldmintz. “So I think there will be day when both Hong Kong and
38、other cities around Asia-Pacific particularly will be looking towards a cashless society,“ he said. “I think we“re going to make huge in-roads in the next five to ten years in this.“（分数：20.00）(1).When did the Octopus first appeared in Hong Kong?（分数：4.00）A.In 1996.B.In 1997.C.In twenty-first century.
39、D.In last decade.(2).With an Octopus you can do the following things except _.（分数：4.00）A.buying foodB.buying a $150 furniture on TaobaoC.taking a busD.buying a movie ticket(3).Where people cannot use Octopus or dual card?（分数：4.00）A.Hong Kong.B.Guangdon.C.Zhuhai.D.Shenzhen.(4).According to Goldmintz

41、ure?（分数：4.00）A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Not clear.D.Pessimistic.The poor old consumer! We“d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn“t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think th
42、e only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already k
43、now about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement. Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read
44、advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway bylaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely-printed columns of news
45、in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities. We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio station and television companies
46、could not survive without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daffy paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn“t forget is
47、the “small ads“, which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what u
48、sed to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch“ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony“ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It“s the best advertisement for advertising there is!（分数
