13．My name is Amanda LaMunyon．I have Asperger's syndrome，a form of autism （自閉癥）．I don't see myself as a person with a disability．I share who I am when I paint，sing and write．
       I started writing poetry because I wanted to tell people what it was like to have Asperger's syndrome．I don't know how my life would be different without Asperger's，but I know I look at the world differently than most people．I'm also learning that you don't have to be like everybody else．You just have to be confident in who you are．
       I discovered I could paint when I was 7．My math teacher Mrs．Brock loved one of my paintings so much that she hung it on the wall in her bedroom．I was so encouraged by her and since then my life has changed greatly．
       Soon after，people asked me to show my art for charity events．I began to donate prints of my work for charity auctions （拍賣）．I was glad that I really made a difference．I learned that when you give，you receive happiness．
       I think it is very important for teens to express themselves．It's a way to know yourself more clearly．You can turn your thoughts and feelings into a piece of artwork or a poem．
       For example，when you paint，colors can help you express different emotions．When you write a poem，you have to get really honest with yourself and not be afraid to write down what you feel．
       Creativity makes you unique and sets you apart from others．Creative ideas also help you make your dreams come true．They help you look at things in a new way．
       I hope my story helps people to believe they can overcome their challenges and achieve their dreams．I like to encourage others．I know what encouragement has meant to me．

17．China is a country on the move-especially around its Lunar New Year holiday．This year，the holiday crush（客流量）promises to be even heavier than before．
Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air，roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel．
Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience．And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope．Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel，and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down．
Much of the criticism has，focused on the railway's-online purchasing system．Which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers（票販子）from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets．
While insist ing that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers，railway official s told reporters that the public need to be patient．Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems．While officials had little good news for rail passengers，they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls （通行費）will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday．

32．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word"discounting"in Paragraph 3？A
A．Discouraging．
B．Promising．
