By 9 years old, Talia hadn’t said a word to anyone outside her home in her entire life. Doctors didn’t really know why. One day, Talia met Titan, a chestnut quarter horse, who was used to help children. On the top of Titan, many children and adults who were told they would physically degenerate (退化) for the rest of their lives grew stronger and gained better balance. Autistic people, locked away in an inner world, had come out of their shells. But Talia was an exception.A year passed by as Talia saw Titan every week. She would jump out of her mother’s car, walk over to her house and touch him without a word to anyone. Volunteers at the stables (马厩) didn’t know if she’d ever improve. But then, one day there was a change —Talia was trying to speak to her house.That’s the point of Freedom Ride, located in a barn along Lee Road just west of Winter Park, catering to disabled people from all over Central Florida. Riding horses gives people a sense of freedom from their disabilities.All of Freedom Ride’s hundreds of riders, who are from all age groups, have some form of disability, but all are connected by riding. David Sitts found that connection another way. While the 25-year-old Floridian was at his sister’s home near Chicago, he spent eight months riding. When he came back to his home in Longwood, he couldn’t live without a horse. That’s where Freedom Ride came in. He couldn’t participate in the program, but he could volunteer. Now he joins an army of more than 300 Seminole and Orange Country Freedom Ride volunteers bridging the gap.Freedom Ride enriches the lives of disabled children and adults in the Central Florida area. For moreinformation about the program and volunteer opportunities, call 407-293-0411.21. What was Talia’s problem?A. She was physically disabled.B. She felt worried about riding a horse.C. She didn’t want to be around anyone.D. She was unwilling to communicate with others.22. After Talia met Titan, she________.A. became very positiveB. fell in love with various animalsC. didn’t show any improvement at firstD. felt happy and immediately showed signs of change23. What is implied in Paragraph 3 about Freedom Ride?A. It is open to everyone in Central Florida.B. It tries to make horse riding a popular sport.C. It aims at helping the citizens become stronger.D. It makes disabled people enter a state of relaxation.24. From Paragraph 4, we can infer that ________.A. volunteers at Freedom Ride are skilled in horse ridingB. Freedom Ride provides many job opportunities for people.C. people who are not disabled can volunteer at Freedom Ride.D. disabled people may get addicted to horse riding at Freedom Ride.BRebecca, who is a 25-year-old woman, has a rare condition. She can remember all the events she has experienced in her life. The events are so vivid, as if they happened just moments ago. But her vivid memories often become a reality. Rebecca said, “When I relive memories, the emotions come back. So if it’s something that happened when I was younger, my emotions are about what I felt then. I also re-experience pain. For example, I remember falling over and hurting my left knee when I was three. When talking about it now, I’m getting pain in my left knee.”However, there are times when Rebecca’s memories prove to be too over-whelming, and she has learnt relaxation and mindfulness (聚神) techniques to solve. “At school, it is a hindrance. I’m not very quick at processing things, so there is always so much going through my mind. At night, I have to sleep with the radio on and a soft light. If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind just recalls all these memories and I can’t sleep,” Rebecca said.In addition, Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative —recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic （创伤后的）stress disorder. Rebecca said, “Recently, I went back to my old school for my sister’s high school, graduation. Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back. I burst into tears and had to leave.”Rebecca and her mother Mrs. Barnes got in touch with the University of California in 2011. It was there that Rebecca knew she had Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). It’s reported that Rebecca is one of just 80 people worldwide, who have HSAM. “Finding out about HSAM has been such a positive experience. Now, Rebecca has been more positive and able to do things independently, which has been excellent,” Mrs. Barnes said.25. What’s wrong with Rebecca?A. She hardly sleeps well at night.B. She usually gets hurt easily by others.C. She can’t distinguish between reality and dreams.D. Her vivid memories lead her to experience sufferings.26. What does the underlined word “hindrance” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Priority.B. Advantage.C. Difficulty.D. Opportunity.27. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Rebecca had a strong dislike of going to school.B. Rebecca was moved to tears at her sister’s graduation.C. Rebecca and her sister once studied in the same school.D. Rebecca enjoyed a happy life during her high school years.28. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Rebecca _______.A. was influenced by her mother to be positiveB. has got her life improved graduallyC. was admitted into the University of CaliforniaD. became well-known due to her. Rare conditionCI recently heard someone who studies various languages say that he didn’t care about learning the culture behind those languages. This is really surprising to me on many levels since not only is culture a major and inseparable part of “knowing”a language, it is also one of the most enjoyable aspects of acquiring a new language and keeping yourself motivated.If you learn a language without learning its culture, then what you will end up with is the mere ability to function in the language as an outsider. Choosing not to learn about the country or countries where a particular language is spoken not only robs you of the richness that knowing another language normally bring with it, but also makes it very difficult to appreciate the news or place current events in any meaningful context.However, trying to avoid the culture of a language is actually rather hard to do if you study a language to a thorough level and interact with its speakers. For example, you simply cannot learn to speak and function in Arabic if you are not familiar with its underlying culture or Islamic influence. Speaking Japanese without understanding its rather complicated honorific speech system would be socially disastrous and harmful to any business negotiation. Each language carries with it all of the history and culture of the area that it arose from. The political, social and economic conditions of the country influence its vocabulary and the shades of meaning of its words. The cultural landscape of some languages is quite vast since they are spoken across many different countries, each flavoring the language in its own unique way. In case like this where a language is spoken in different countries, it’s more practical to learn the most about the culture and people of the country that you will actually interact with. Without learning the cultures behind the language, you will often get confused and cannot really learn the language well.Learning a language without the cultural framework in which it exists is like cooking ethnic food without the spices of the region. You simply will move all of the flavor from the language. Don’t just be bilingual, be bicultural!29.How does the writer begin with the topic of the passage?A. By showing the importance of culture.B. By listing what to learn about a language.C. By mentioning how someone learns language.D. By telling how he / she learns new languages.30. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to_______.A. the languageB. the cultureC. the historyD. the area31. From the last paragraph, what are we advised to do?A. Experience all the flavors from the language.B. Not to learn two languages at the same time.C. Learn a language like cooking food in the kitchen.D. Learn a language not only linguistically but culturally.DAdult Basic Education (ABE) and GED PreparationTask:The Adult Basic Education Department serves a huge population of learners. Our task is to teach basic skills and help learners to get more knowledge to function effectively as a family member, citizen, worker, and lifelong learner in a changing world.Description:ABE is a non-credit program of self-improvement designed to improve basic skills for students who are of different educational levels. Development of reading, writing, and math skills are paid special attention to, as well as life skills, employ-ability, and technology.

The results of their assessment will help the teachers develop individual programs of study for students to guide them toward their personal goals.
