Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself．Just then, a flight attendant 46 me and asked, "Would you mind changing your seat? A couple would like to sit together．'The only other 47 seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts（石膏）, a black-and-blue face, and a depressed emotion．" 48 am I going to sit there" was my immediate thought． 49 then a deeper, quieter voice spoke, "Opportunity．" Finally I took my new seat and 50 that Kathy had been in an auto collision, and she was on her way for 51 .
When the snack of nuts and juice arrived，52 did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to 53 herself．I considered offering to feed her but 54 , as it seemed too close a service to offer to a stranger．But then I decided that Kathy's need was more important than my 55 ．I offered to help her eat, and although she too was uncomfortable about __56___ it, she did.

A
When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped onto the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”, few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain’s Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn’t hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone — including the judges — seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end.
After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, “Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I’ve had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you．No one is laughing now．That was amazing．Actress Amanda Holden followed, "I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you．I honestly think that we were all being very cynical（愤世嫉俗的） and I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever．"
Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic．Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1．5 million followers—speak highly of her．Kutcher posted a link to the video clip（片段）．The Scottish talent made her live American debut（首次演出） via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room．And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah Winfrey．
Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities．The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube, becoming a hit on the Internet．
66．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle_____．
A．rose from a low social class
B．had an unhappy marriage
C．lived with a dog alone on a farm
D．won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show
67．At the beginning of the show, almost everybody_____．
A．looked forward to her wonderful performance
B．was attracted by her beautiful dress
C．looked down upon her
D．placed great hope on her
68．We can infer that_____contributed most to her global popularity．
A．the judges B．the Internet
C．the newspaper D．the advertisement
69．The 4th paragraph is intended to tell us______．
A．how Susan Boyle achieved her success

C．Susan Boyle's influence in the USA
D．Oprah Winfrey's invitation to Susan Boyle

You've heard of the fat suit and the pregnancy suit；now meet AGNES—the old person suit．
AGNES stands for “Age Gain Now Empathy(换位体验) System” and was designed by researchers at MIT's AgeLab to let you know what it feels like—physically—to be 75 years old．“The business of old age demands new tools，”said Joseph Coughlin，director of the AgeLab．“While focus groups and observations and surveys can help you understand what the older consumer needs and wants，young marketers never get that‘Ah ha!’moment of having difficulty opening a jar, or getting in and out of a car．That’s what AGNES provides．”
Coughlin and his team carefully adjusted the suit to make the wearer just as uncomfortable as an old person who has spent a lifetime eating poorly and not doing much exercise．Special shoes provide a feeling of imbalance，while braces on the knees and elbows limit joint mobility．Gloves give the feeling of decreased strength and mobility in the hands and wrists，and earplugs make it difficult to hear high—pitched sounds and soft tones．A helmet with straps(带)attached to it presses the spine(脊柱)，and more straps attached to the shoes decrease hamstring flexibility, and shortens the wearer's step．
AGNES has been used most recently by a group of students working on a design of an updated walker．By wearing the suit they could see for themselves what design and materials would make the most sense for a physically limited older person．Coughlin said the suit has also been used by clothing companies，car companies and retail goods companies to help them understand the limitations of an older consumer．
“AGNES is not the destiny of everybody,” he said．“She is a badly behaved lady who didn't eat and exercise very well．A secondary benefit we’ve found with AGNES is that it has become a powerful tool to get younger people to invest in their long-term health．”
70．AGNES has been developed to ．
A．make the users more comfortable B．1et us u
