He died on January 11，1928. In his youth, Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet, but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect, winning a prize for design. The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.‎ For five years Hardy worked hard to practice writing poetry, but when he was twentyseven, he turned to fiction. His first novel finished by 1867, but according to the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it. After he abandoned his first novel, his another novel Desperate Remedies, appeared in 1871. During the next twentyfive years he published ten more novels and two collections of short stories.‎ Under the Greenwood Tree(1872) was never surpassed(超越) in happy and delicate perfection of art. This and his next novel, A Pair of Blue Eyes(1873), began to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy’s writings.‎ Far from the Madding Crowd(1874) was his first popular success. It shows Hardy’s amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters, an organic part of the action of his story. This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment, which included The Return of the Native, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, his masterpiece, and Jude the Obscure. Not until he was fiftyeight years old was his first collection of poems published, and he was sixtyfour when the first part of his drama The Dynasts surprised the literary world.‎ ‎1．How did Thomas Hardy benefit from his architectural career?‎ A．He could practice writing while working.‎ B．He made a lot of money to support his writing.‎ C．He found material for his novels and poems.‎ D．He applied architectural knowledge in his novels.‎ ‎2．What is Thomas Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree considered to be?‎ A．One of his masterworks.‎ B．His first popular success.‎ C．His best novel in perfection of art.‎ D．One of his best collections of poems.‎ ‎3．Which of the following is one of his novels of character and environment?‎ A．Desperate Remedies. B．A Pair of Blue Eyes.‎ C．Tess of the d’Urbervilles. D．The Dynasts.‎ ‎4．What type of writing is this text?‎ A．A novel. B．A biography.‎ C．A book review. D．A news report.‎ B When I was three years old, I couldn't speak.It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.‎ One day, I was shadowing(尾随)my mother.She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met.She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿)her mouth's movements until I formed a word.‎ It turned out that I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right.Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of selfhating sorrow.Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side.That's my reality when I sleep on my “good ear” ，and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.‎ People call my deaf side my “bad ear”， but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't.In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.‎ Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however.On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show and tell.As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren't those for old men？” At that moment, I felt different.It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.‎ But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hardofhearing people feel like burdens.Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it.Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.‎ And with hearing aids costing around $2，500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to things that others take for granted.As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations—I'm lucky.I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything.I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human.And when it comes to sleeping, I'm even superhuman.‎ ‎5．How does the author view his hearing difficulty?‎ A．It's a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.‎ B．It gave him a chance to experience something special.‎ C．It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.‎ D．It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.‎ ‎6．What can be inferred from the passage about the author?‎ A．He was born deaf.‎ B．He is optimistic and helpful.‎ C．His family and classmates have supported him a lot.‎ D．The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.‎ ‎7．What is the author's attitude toward his life?‎ A．Grateful.
