B
When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Many students nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. "Don't be silly, only geniuses can become writers," the English teacher said, "and you are getting a D this semester." I was so humiliated(感到羞辱的) that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri's Weekly Newspaper. To my surprise, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. "Just plain dumb luck," the teacher said. I tasted success. I'd sold the first thing I'd ever written. That was more than any of them had done and even if it was just dumb luck, it was fine with me.
During the next two years, I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school with a C average, I had never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children were sleeping, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best - seller, which was translated into fifteen languages and Braille(盲文) and sold worldwide.
People ask what college I attended, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: "None." I just write. I'm not gifted and I don't write right. To all those who dream of writing, I'm shouting at you: "Yes, you can. Don't listen to them." I don't write right but I've succeeded. Writing is easy and fun and anyone can do it.
56. Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said?
A. Because they envied her.
B. Because they felt it impossible for her to succeed.
C. Because they wished she were successful as a writer.

A. she had become a famous writer
B. her classmates and teachers admired her very much
C. she decided she wouldn't become a writer
D. she had made progress in her studies

Have you ever heard that paintings are moved from galleries(美术馆) into a new home — hospitals?
The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in the process of recovery(恢复) from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to change older hospitals and ★. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have collections of art in hallways, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
This idea came from an artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio(工作室) at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artists had lost their place in modern society, and art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. Any better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out - patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is unusual. Now in hallways and waiting rooms, the visitors experience a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a blank wall to look at.
61. Which of the following can be put in ★?
A. to make the corners of hospital buildings round
B. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals
C. to pull down hospital buildings
D. to decorate(装饰) hospitals with art collections
62. We can learn Peter Senior is ________.
A. a pioneer in introducing art into hospitals
B. a doctor interested in painting
C. an artist who has a large collection of paintings
D. a patient who likes hospital art
63. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. patients should be encouraged to learn painting
B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals
C. art is losing its audience around the world
D. art would be enjoyed in British hospitals
64. After the improvement of the hospital environment, ________.
A. patients use no pain killers in their recovery
B. the hospitals don't have brick walls at all
C. people can recover by themselves
D. patients may no longer fully depend on expensive drugs
