Section B
Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed
by some questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are
four choices
marked A), B), C) and D).
You should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Adrian's
he, as a baby, couldn't hear a thing,
not even loud noises. In a special school for the
hearing-impaired,
he
learned
sign
language
and
got
to
mix
with
other
disabled
children.
However,
the
sight
of
all
the
disabled
children
communicating
with
one
another upset his mother. She wanted
him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to
an
advisor,
she
sent
him
to
private
classes
where
he
learned
to
read
lips
and
pronounce words.
Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school. But
the
headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so;
saying regular school couldn't
take
care of special needs students. His parents were
determined to take the risk and
push
him hard to go through his work everyday because
they wanted to prove that,
given
the
opportunity,
he
could
do
anything.
Adrian
made
the
grade
and
got
accepted. It was
a big challenge. The pace was faster so he had to
sit at the front of
the
class
and
really pay attention to
the
teacher,
which
wasn't
always
easy.
But
he
stuck to it and
did a lot of extra work after school.
The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated
with good grades and
got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot
in life outside
school. He developed a
love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb
mountains.
He even entered the World
Yacht Race 05
/
06
–
being the first hearing-impaired Asian
to do so.
But
none
of
these
achievements
would
have
been
possible
without
one of
the most important lessons from his mother.
work hard, you can achieve great
results.
