After the band played an introduction, Wesla Whitfield wheeled herself onstage in a wheelchair. As she sang, Whitfield’s voice was so powerful and soulful that everyone in the room forgot the wheelchair was even there.At 57, Whitfield is small and pretty, witty and humble, persistent and philosophical. Raised in California, Whitfield began performing in public at age 18, when she took a job as a singing waitress at a pizza parlor. After studying classical music in college, she moved to San Francisco and went on to sing with the San Francisco Opera Chorus.Walking home from a party at age 29, she was caught in a random (偶然的) shooting that left her paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down. I asked how she dealt with the realization that she’d never walk again, and she admitted that initially she didn’t want to face it. After a year of depression (沮丧) she tried to kill herself. She was then admitted to a hospital for treatment, where she was able to recover.Whitfield said she came to understand that the only thing she had lost in this misfortunate event was the ability to walk. She still possessed her most valuable thing - her mind. Pointing to her head, she said, “Everything important is in here. The only real disability in life is losing your mind.” When I asked if she was angry about what she had lost, she admitted to being disappointed occasionally, “especially when everybody’s dancing, because I love to dance. But when that happens I just remove myself so I can focus instead on what I can do.”31. In which of the following places has Wesla Whitfield worked?A. A college. B. A hospital.C. A pizza parlor. D. A TV station.32. Which of the following statements is true about Wesla Whitfield’s physical disability?A. It was caused by a traffic accident.B. It made her sad and depressed at first.C. It seriously affected her singing career.D. It happened when she was a college student.33. What does “when that happens” mean in the last paragraph?A. When Wesla is losing her mind.B. When Wesla is singing on the stage.C. When Wesla is going out in her wheelchair.D. When Wesla is watching other people dancing.34. What advice would Wesla most likely give other disabled people?A. Ignore what you have lost and make the best use of what you have.B. Be modest and hard-working to earn respect from other people.C. Learn a skill so that you can still be successful and famous.D. Try to sing whenever you feel upset and depressed.BThe rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government’s health budget (预算) be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
