Paul was my little brother, and he was special. He was different from me because he sat in a wheelchair, and he was blind. Lots of times when we walked with Paul, other kids came over and asked us why he was in his chair and why he couldn’t s【1】 . They thought he was different because he had his own school bus and had to go to a s【2】 school. But that’s not really the reason. Paul was different for the things just our family knew about—only we knew the s【3】 that made him special.

Paul helped me hear small sounds. Every time I was w【4】 him, I’d have to beg quietly to hear the flying birds and the talking trees he heard.

Paul helped me exercise. When we went for a walk, we’d often go up hill. When I pushed his chair all the way to the woods at the t【5】, I was really getting my exercise!

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者陪伴着自己不能走路的盲人弟弟保罗一起长大的故事，作者感到作为姐姐，自己很幸运；而保罗也帮助作者认识到，只要我们选择去发现，每种情况都有好的一面。

【1】句意：许多次我们和保罗一起散步时，其他孩子会过来问我们为什么他坐在轮椅里，为什么他看不见。

根据上文“he was blind”可知保罗是盲人，所以看不见，此处用动词see，空前有情态动词could，所以动词see用原形，故填see。

【2】句意：他们觉得他与众不同，因为他乘坐自己专用的校车去特殊学校上学。

根据上文“…he was special. He was different from me because he sat in a wheelchair, and he was blind.”可知保罗因为身体有缺陷，他只能去特殊教育学校上学，所以此处用形容词特殊的special，与空后的school构成特殊学校special school的短语，故填special。

【3】句意：保罗和我们家人所知道的不一样，只有我们知道使他与众不同的秘密。

根据上文“They thought he was different because he had his own school bus and had to go to a special school. But that’s not really the reason.”可知别人了解的都不是真正的原因，只有保罗的家人才知道真相，所以对于别人而言是秘密；此处用名词secret，可数名词，此处单数复数都可以用，故填secret/secrets。

【4】句意：每次我和他在一起时，我都得乞求安静，这样才能听到他听到的飞鸟和会说话的树。

根据句意，此处表示“和……在一起”；分析句子成分，空前有be动词was，结合语境，此处用介词with表示“和……在一起”，故填with。

【5】句意：当我把他的椅子一直推到山顶的树林里时，我真的得到了锻炼！

根据上文“When we went for a walk, we’d often go up hill.”可知保罗和姐姐经常去山上，下文“I was really getting my exercise!”可知把保罗推到山顶，姐姐也得到了锻炼，此处表示到达山顶，at the top在顶端，故填top。

【6】句意：保罗几乎从不抱怨。

根据下文“He went along with whatever the rest of us wanted to do.”可知不管其他人想做什么，他都同意，所以保罗几乎从不抱怨，此处用副词几乎不hardly，故填hardly。

【7】句意：我把不同的玩具放在那里，让他去触摸感觉。

根据前文可知保罗是盲人，只能用手来感知玩具，所以此处用动词感觉feel；空前有动词不定式to，所以动词feel用原形，故填feel。

【8】句意：岁月静好，他不离左右，他有世界上最美好的微笑。

根据上文“He couldn’t talk to me like most of my friends, and he couldn’t run outside to play.”和本句句意可知，保罗不像姐姐的其他朋友，但他能在所有平静的时期陪伴姐姐左右，所以此处表示他一直都在那里，用副词there，故填there。

【9】句意：作为姐姐，我很幸运和他一起长大。

根据下文“He helped me to realize that there is a good side to every situation”可知保罗让姐姐认识到凡事都有好的一面，所以姐姐觉得自己很幸运，此处用形容词幸运的lucky，构成be lucky to do sth.“做某事是幸运的”短语，故填lucky。

【10】句意：他帮我认识到每种情况都有好的一面，只要我们选择去发现它。

根据句意，此处表示“选择”，空后有the choice，构成make the choice选择的短语；此处是if引导的条件状语从句，用一般现在时，所以make用动词原形，故填make。
