I was blind,but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all,I was a teenager girl,and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads,coming across me wandering through the traffic,motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening,I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses,and as usual I ran into something."I'm awfully sorry,"I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time,I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop,which was a request stop,where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation,because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help,I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end,I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop;It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass,or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself,I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.
What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A:Other vehicles also stopped there.
B:It was unreliable for making judgments.
C:More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D:It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.

Protection of Wildlife
Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain some hide the fact that similar are felt ill the rest Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe,of which 21 countries are members,have shown that 1 percent of reptile species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum,an expert in the environment and nature resources division of the council,when he spoke at a conference arranged by the ad- ministrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council's diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality,and Dr. Peter Baum had come to present it to the park once again.He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks,and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today.But Dr. Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in a peace in their own right.
No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as tourist attraction,he went on .The short view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recrea- tion should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
“We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems,on which any built-up area ultimately depends,”Dr. Baum went on,“We could manage without most industrial products,but we could not manage without nature.However,our natural environment areas,which are the original parts of our countryside,have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted landmass.”
Although we all depend on the resources of nature for our survival,______.
A: industrial products are replacing all our natural resources
B: it is only on islands that nature survives
C:we have forgotten what our original countryside looked like
D: we have allowed areas of countryside to be spoilt by industrial development

Britain's Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight,going out on sailing trips with her aunt.She loved it
so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18,she
sailed alone around Britain and won the"Young Sailor of the Year" award.
But Ellen really became famous in 2001.Aged only 24,she was one of the only two women who entered
the Vendee Globe round the world solo race,which lasted 100 days.Despite many problems,she came second
in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality.When she was younger,
she lived in a kind of hut（棚屋）for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a trails-
atlantic race.Then she took a one-way ticket to France,bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht,slept
under it while she was repairing it,and then she raced it 4,000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997,alone
for 33 days.
Ellen has had to learn many things,because sailing single一handed means that she has to be her own cap-
tamn,electrician,sailmaker,engineer,doctor,journalist,cameraman and cook.She also has to be very fit,and
because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time while she's in the middle of the ocean,she has
trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
And she needs courage. Once,In the middle of the ocean,she had to climb the mast（桅杆）of a boat to
repair the sails一at four o'clock in the morning,with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many
hours to make the repairs;Ellen says:"I was exhausted when I came down.It's hard to describe how it feels
to be up there.It's like trying to hold onto a big pole,which for me is just too big to get my arms around,with
someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off."
But in her diary , Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile（值得的）:" A beautiful
sunrise started the day,with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun.I have a very strong feeling of
pleasure,being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this.I just feel lucky to be here."
The word"solo"in the title could be best replaced by__________.
A:self-starter
B:single-handed
C:one performer
D:self-made
