题组提分练11 Unit 1 Festivals around the world 限时35分钟加黑体小题训练推理判断题之细节推断题阅读理解A体裁：记叙文话题：节假日活动难度：★★★☆☆On Jan. 20 there will be an International Day of Acceptance to publicize (宣传) the lives of inspirational people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds who struggle to be accepted. The disabled woman who founded the day, Annie Hopkins, was herself an inspiration. Hopkins aimed to encourage the acceptance of people from communities that are different. But the world is full of people like Hopkins, as the following stories show.Fatjona, an Albanian girl, had a terrible accident when she was 8 years old. It left her unable to walk, speak or write. She was in a wheelchair, which was difficult in itself, but even more difficult because her school wasn't built for people with disabilities.But within four years, Fatjona had recovered her spirits enough to think about her old dream again—to be a dancer. Although it was very difficult, her doctor told her that it would be possible if she could walk again. And if she can walk, she can dance. Fatjona's attitude is summed up in these words: “I will not surrender (屈服)．”Sometimes, adults have more difficulty with “race” than children do, as the following story from Kansas in the US shows. The children were all orphans, black and white, boys and girls. But they got along well. Their problem was that they couldn't be together enough. They feared that they would one day have to leave Kansas and would never see each other again.Their solution was to become one big, happy family together. However, for that they needed two permanent foster parents (养父母). So the children put an ad in the Kansas City Star: “Wanted: parents for five mixed ethnicity children.” There was an enormous response to the ad. Fostering agencies had no trouble putting the group of kids together in a single home, with a single set of parents. Now they have what they always wanted, a “forever home”. In our world of conflicts and prejudice, it makes a change to hear about people who demonstrate (展示) the strength to make the world a better place—not only for themselves, but also for others, who are inspired by their example. Fatjona, the Kansas kids and Hopkins herself all havea lot to teach us.【语篇解读】本文介绍了国际接受日，人们在这一天讲述励志故事，鼓励人们接纳来自不同种族和文化背景的人。

Whenever possible, I got shifts working the Point known for its massive and natural rip currents (离岸流)．In a shift, I was working Tower 15. Mike was working Tower 17. He phon ed me, “I got a couple of kids. I have to give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.”As soon as he hung up, he grabbed his life belt. A rip was torn open under these two kids, and they were getting sucked in. All I saw was two small noses moving up and down in the wavy water.I dropped my binoculars (双筒望远镜) calling, “Double rescue 17 —he's out. I'm going.”Mike was already hitting through the surf line. Realizing what happened, the mother was on her feet screaming. At that time, Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water. Exhausted, the children couldn't move. So Mike's carrying them, one under each arm. Meanwhile, I saw the terror start to flow over her.She looked at Mike. A kind of panic washed over her as though some new, equally dangerous threat was on her kids' lives. She rushed up to Mike, snatched her kids and walked away. Not even a thank-you.Mike had a rough upbringing. He had frightening tattoos, and his shaved head showed the scar from a broken beer bottle. I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in personal relationship skills, he more than made up for in lifesaving ability.Having a young son and daughter, I couldn't even imagine the depth of her terror, so I sympathized with her.Anyway, I promise myself I will never let my own fear or prejudice prevent me from recognizing a real hero.语篇解读：本文主要讲述了作者曾经的同事解救处于危险中的儿童的故事。
