The first grade was a struggle．I not only had difficulty speakin g, but also felt nervous about the fact that I was expected to lea rn to read and I just couldn't do it．The second grade was not much better．I still struggled with the inability to read．It was in the third grade that the school district built a new school close t o my home．I remember going there with my parents and helpi ng to get the school ready so that we could move to the new on e．However, things were still not much better as far as my scho oling was concerned and did not get better for the next two year s．

her best to let me know that I could be whatever I wanted to be ．And that is just what I did．

Blind photography sounds strange．But a striking exhibition of photographs in California argues that it develops as a result of t he contemporary art．The show "Sight Unseen", at the Californi a Museum of Photography until Aug．29, includes everything: u nderwater scenes, landscapes, abstracts and everything else y ou might expect from a "sighted" photographer．
How do the blind take their photographs? Some rely on assista nts to set up and then describe the shots （镜
头） , and others just point and shoot in the right place．"Just li ke any good artists," says McCulloh．"They have their unique ways of operating．" One participating photographer is Pete Ec kert, an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who
only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid-1990s．He opens the shutter （快
门） on his camera and then uses flashlights, lights, and candle s to paint his scene on film．A former fashion photographer in Chicago, Weston, lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996 and focus es on images of destruction and disability．His photos are also a star of the show．
What do gallery-
goers say? "I was very impressed by it．The technique and exp erience was amazingly different," says John Hesketh, a printma ker in Anaheim．"You never have a sense of feeling sorry for th ese people because they've worked very hard to prove their val ue．"
Beyond the praise, however, the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere．That point was expla ined in early May during a discussion on the TV show．At the v ery end of the talk, one attendee expressed his opinion．"This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons ．I think that by being an artist with a disability, you are continui ng the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to g ain access and to have a voice．In that way, it's so wonderful t hat your photographs say it all．"
68．From the passage we know that some blind people take ph otos by .
A．describing the things to their assistants.
B．holding the camera and shooting randomly.
C．opening the shutter with the help of others.
D．using special equipment designed for them.
69．We can learn from the passage that blind photographers _ _____.
A．were not born blind.
B．do jobs related to art.
C．focus on different subjects.
D．like photos of destruction.
70．What is people's reaction to the blind photography show?
A．They admire the blind photographers' hard work．
B．They feel really sorry for those blind photographers．
C．They think some have good techniques while others not．
D．They can understand the real meaning of each photograph ．
71．The significance of the exhibition lies in the fact that ______
．
A．the California Museum of Photography receives praises for holding the show.
B．the public have a chance to know what the blind people are concerned about.
C．the blind photographers have a good place to show their wo rks.
D．the exhibition can be very inspiring to the blind in the world. D
Some years ago, a Miami woman walking through an office buil ding noticed two men standing together．Several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the building ．The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them．However, her memory of th e men proved disappointingly unclear．Several days later, psyc hologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complet
e account from the woman．His interview produced a breakthro ugh—
the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects．The important information enabled the police to arrest the suspect a nd close the case．
The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive(认
知) interview, a kind of memory - rebuilding process．Memory r esearchers have found that people trying to remember a past e vent often only recall part of the relevant information．Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress．But a pe rson's accurate recall of an event or understanding of a questio n can be improved using specific interviewing techniques．The "cognitive interview" was developed in the late 1990s．It encou rages the witness to take an active role in recalling information r ather than giving answers only to someone else's questions．T he witness first describes what happened in his or her own wor ds, with no interviewer interruptions．The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives （角度）．
The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through fo ur general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroun dings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past even ts; reporting everything that connects to mind about those event s, no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders, such as from beginning to end, end to beginning, forwar d or backward; and adopting different perspectives while recalli ng events．
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding int erview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more informatio n from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the same．It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony （证词）．
72．The purpose of the passage is to _____．
A．give an account of a murder case.
B．introduce an idea of cognitive interview.
C．prove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interview.
D．help a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview. 73．What is required to recall in a cognitive interview for a witn
ess?
A．The exact time at which a murder took place．
B．The information about the event in the time order．
C．The important things that come to his or her mind．
D．The surroundings and feelings at the time of the event．74．The key point in a cognitive interview is that .
A．the witness is encouraged to take part in recalling informatio n.
B．the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to tim e.
C．the interview should take place outside the police station.
D．the witness should recall details at the scene of the event. 75．The underlined word "distorted" in the passage probably m eans " ____
A．arranged B．balanced C.changed D．examined

review my work thoroughly before exams. The better I’m prepar ed, the more
worried I will be in exams.
