Every day, Daisy wakes up next to a man, who has to convince her they are married. When she expresses doubt, he takes out a photo album and shows her pictures of their wedding 13 years ago.

Only then does amnesiac Daisy accept that she has been married, and that everything he has told her is true. The lady's condition was caused by brain injuries suffered in two road accidents, a motorbike crash in 1985 and a car accident in 1990. Daisy can recall everything up to 1994, but since then everything that happens on one day is forgotten the next day.

She has no day-to?day memory after the car crash. And it is not just loved ones Daisy struggles with. She uses hundreds of notes and reminders on her mobile phone's calendar to keep her informed of appointments and everyday duties. Anything she has done or anyone she has met must be logged for future reference. And on the rare occasions when she takes the risk of going out of her home alone, she has to be armed with navigation (導(dǎo)航) programmed with her address.

There are some benefits, however. There is no such thing as a repeat on TV and every joke is funny, because it seemed she has heard it the first time.“It’s like I am living the same day, day after day, said Daisy, who does voluntary work at a charity for people with disabilities three days a week.

Dr Peter Nestor said Daisy was suffering from anterograde(【醫(yī)】 前進(jìn)的, 順行的) amnesia. He added, “It is reasonably rare, but it does exist. You are able to carry out day?to?day things, and don't forget how to do certain things like speaking. But if someone was to ask you what you did yesterday, you wouldn't have a clue.”

1.What caused Daisy’s condition?

A. Her disability since birth.

B. Brain injuries in accidents.

C. Her declining health

D. Overloaded working.

2.How did Daisy’s family help remind her?

A. By taking her to the hospital

B. By telling her jokes.

C. By showing her old photos and pictures.

D. By persuading her to recall the car crash.

3.The underlined word “amnesiac” in Paragraph 2 probably means“________”．

A. strong B. optimistic

C. warm?hearted D. forgetful

4.What does the 3rd paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Benefits of Daisy condition.

B. Great troubles Daisy has in life.

C. How Daisy helps herself.

D. The reason why Daisy forgets things.

5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

Alibaba founder Jack Ma has become China's richest person according to a wealth survey by the． Hurun Report． Mr．Ma tops its annual rich list with a fortune of $25bn,．followed, by Wanda Group chairman Wang Jianlin．

Internet billionaires account for five of China's 10 richest people this year, beating property giants（房地產(chǎn)巨頭） who have traditionally dominated（占優(yōu)勢(shì)） the list, which also includes the head of Tencent, Pony Ma．Other technology giants on the list include the co-founder of Chinese search group Baidu, Robin Li, and the founder of online retailer （零售商） JD．com, Richard Liu．

CHINARICH LIST

Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher Rupert Hoogewerf said, "Jack Ma is the 11th Number One we have had in China in the last 16 years, showing the dynamism（活力） of the Chinese economy, and an outstanding reminder of the growth potential that is being realized in the new markets"．

The Hurun Report's rich list is one of the most closely-watched and accurate assessments of wealth in China． The annual report has been published for the past 16 years． Individuals or families required at least $2．3bn this year to make it onto the list, which is more than 15 times the amount needed a decade ago． There are a record 354 so-called "dollar billionaires" in China this year, Hurun said, which is a 13% increase from last year．Overall, the total wealth of the l,271 people on the list is worth $1．4tn this year

Hurun said it had been "an amazing year" for the online retail and other IT sectors and a “good year” for entertainment, investments, cars, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals（藥業(yè)） and manufacturing． On the other side, Hurun said it had "been a bad year for steel and shipping" and that real estate（不動(dòng)產(chǎn)） "could have done a lot worse, bearing in mind the state of the market"．

The world's second-largest economy has been slowing down． Its property industry may

have 'overheated and that levels of local debt are too high． As a result, the government has taken measures to cool the housing market, which has slowed down for several quarters．Perhaps reflecting this shift, four of the six property giants in last year's top 10 list have dropped down the rankings．

1.According to Rupert Hoogewerf, Jack Ma's being the 11th richest in China in the last 16 years indicates that ．

A． China will surely have the 12ffi Number One next year

B． the growth of China's economy in the last 16 years is incredible

C． new markets are providing China with great potential for economic growth

D． China has successfully sailed through the global financial crisis started in 2008

2.What is true about the Hurun Report's rich list?

A． Accurate assessments lend credit to the rich list．

B． Only individual billionaires can make it onto the list．

C． The list has been published every other year for 16 years．

D．It favors investments and cars rather than steel and shipping．

3.What can be inferred from the changes in the top 10 list during the past two years?

A． Property giants are no longer rich due to the shift．

B． China has become the world's second-largest economy．

C． Internet billionaires traditionally dominated the top 10 list．

D． The Government has played a role in the changes of house prices．

A little boy invited his mother to attend his school’s first teacher-parent meeting. When she said she would go, he was disappointed as he had always been ashamed of his mother’s scar that covered nearly the entire right side of her face. The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar.

At the meeting, the people were impressed by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother in spite of the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed and hid himself from everyone. He did, however, overhear a conversation between his mother and his teacher.

The teacher asked carefully, “How did you get the scar on your face?” The mother replied, “When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught fire. Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, but I went in. As I was running toward his bed, I saw a long piece of wood coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked senseless but fortunately, a fireman came in and saved both of us.” She touched the burned side of her face. “This scar will be lasting, but to this day, I have never regretted what I did.” At this point, the little boy came out running toward his mother with tears of regret in his eyes.
