18．Two weeks before my 12th birthday，my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment．When I mixed some powder together，they exploded．Molten lava hit me in the face，but I felt no pain．
I vividly remember standing there in a state of calmness．I thought I was in a dream，but however hard I struggled to swim to the surface of consciousness，I couldn't wake up．I didn't understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying，"Who's that？"That's when I knew I was unrecognisable．
I was taken to hospital，but the doctors didn't know what to do with me．Later I was flown to Houston for surgery．Between the ages of 13and 16，I had 40operations．As each operation came and went，my vision would come back and then fade again．Eventually，it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic（整形）reasons．
Since then，I have lived in total darkness．Most blind people，even if they don't have any sight they're aware of，are still able to perceive light．That gives them a sense of day and night．But not me．I absolutely lost that sense of time passing．
For many years，I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover．But when I was in my 40s，I realised I had to find a way to live．I trained to become a counsellor，and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way．I can't fix people's broken lives-just like I can't fix my sight-but I can help them find a way to manage．
Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I've lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light．
24．When the explosion happened，the author feltA．
A．cool          
B．terrified          
C．upset             
D．a(chǎn)nxious
25．What can we know from the passage？C
A．The author lost her sight but her eyes remained．
B．The author recovered from her sight loss soon afterwards．
C．The author suffered a lot in her teens．
D．The author still has difficulty waking up from her dream．
26．What does the underlined word"perceive"in Paragraph 4mean？B
A．Predict．
B．Sense．
C．Watch．
D．Distinguish．
27．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage？B
A．To describe how hard a life the blind are living．
B．To suggest an attitude towards life through her story．
C．To encourage the disabled to be brave．
D．To blame the teacher for his irresponsibility．

19．You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time，don't you？
（36）CAbout 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them．Luckily，here are 4tips to help form positive patterns．
1．Self-awareness
When a negative thought pops into your mind，immediately correct it．Instead of telling yourself"That's a nice shirt，but I can't afford it，"change the message to"That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it．"（37）DOf course，everyone complains sometimes．But the less frequently you complain，the better you will feel．
2．Distance yourself（38）FExcuse yourself and go somewhere quiet，somewhere outdoors in the fresh air．Think of something pleasant before returning．You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand（困境）．
3．Don't try to change complainers
If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event，simply choose silence．Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else．Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target．（39）EIf someone says，"I hate Mondays，weekends are too short，"try to think，"I'm glad I rested up over the weekend，so I'm ready to make some improvement on that big project．"
4．（40）BWhen someone is shouting at you angrily，throw the responsibility back at them by asking，"So what do you intend to do about it？"In most cases，complainers don't really want a solution．They just want to speak them out．If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions，they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to．If so，you will be happy．

A．Find solutions
B．Change responsibility
C．You have got a lot of company．
D．By doing this，it will lead to positive behaviors．
E．But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind．
F．Whenever possible，escape from negative conversations．
G．You will never know what they are going to talk about．

20．It was the perfect friendship．We would run and play together； he was by my side everywhere I went．He always sensed when something was wrong，and was there to comfort me．Gambit was my best friend through my most difficult year in high school．And even though I could never have made it through that tough year without him，when it was over，I had to give him up．
This very special friendship began when I joined 4H and became part of its Seeing Eye Puppy Project．I attended meetings and learned training techniques，but each month I found it harder to be there without a pup of my own and watch everyone else try new technique with their pups．

Gambit taught me that there will be things in life that you may love but have to give up．

17．Over the past sixteen years of my life，I have grown to be a very independent person．This can be both good and bad in the sense that I am able to do things（21）on my own，yet at times struggle with taking advice from others．Sometimes，hearing what other people have to say can be one of the hardest things to do．However，getting advice from （22）whoever cares about you can impact your life in great ways．Because of this，I began realizing that my mom's guidance throughout my life has never steered me wrong．This is why I believe you（23）should always listen to your mother．
This belief has not been easy（24）to realize （realize）．It has taken endless amounts of time in which I decided to go against what my mom had to say，and later discovered that she was right．I think we can all agree that（25）admitting/to admit （admit） your mom was right is always a hard thing to do．But what else are you supposed to say（26）if you are standing outside in the freezing cold，shaking because you did not wear that extra jacket you（27）were told/had been told （tell） to wear？
When I was twelve years old，I had the experience of a lifetime．However，I would have missed out if it hadn't been for my mom．She had been planning a trip to Turkey for work，（28）offering  （offer） to bring my sister and me along with her．When I first heard about this opportunity，I was terrified．Never had I been out of the country before．I thought to（29）myself，"Is she crazy？"My mom then began to say，"（30）As is known to all，one needs to step out of his comfort zone and try something new in order to encounter larger-than-life ideas．"After going back and forth with my own thoughts，I decided to go on the trip．And boy，she was right．Going to Turkey will forever be one of my greatest memories and I am thankful I got to visit that amazing country．
