17.Aerial performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs,but she never let it stop her.
Wrapped in a loop of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music.Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back,high above the ground a move that's all the more daring because she has no legs.
Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker.She had big brown eyes,a bright smile,and huge amounts of energy.When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket,they refused.
Jennifer soon learned to walk-and run-on her hands and bottom,and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline (蹦床) with her three older brothers."My parents didn't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different.I knew I didn't have legs but that wasn't stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do."
At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs,but she never really took to them-she moved more freely without.
In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta.Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team,and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US.When Moceanu and the women's team won gold,Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast,too.She took up power tumbling,which involves performing floor exercises down a runway.But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.
At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.
Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.

21.What do we know about Jennifer Bricker?B
A.She felt embarrassed without legs.
B.She was brought up as a normal child.
C.She was carried in a bucket as a baby.

A.She knew that she was different from others.
B.She wanted to make allowances for her disability.
C.She was eager to participate in the Junior Olympics.
D.She was greatly influenced by Dominique Moceanu.

B.The memory of an aerial performer.

2.Last Sunday,I was sitting in a French restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn't spoken to in a long time.In my enthusiasm and excitement,I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish,my mother tongue.
A few minutes into the call,an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up,seemingly offended,and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排)a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.
I sank in my seat out of embarrassment.I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize.Before getting up,I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me.I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window.I found a tinge (气息)of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace.But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier.
Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture.Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet,I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology.On signing my restaurant bill,I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady's meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.
Did she take it the wrong way,I wondered?Did she get confused?Did she refuse the anonymous(匿名的)offer?And so on.I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome.To my pleasant surprise,things turned out the best possible way.
The waiter approached me in a joy,telling me,"In the many times she had dined here before,I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $ 0 bill.She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job."

25. The old lady changed her seat mainly because ofA.
A.the author's loud voice
B.her private phone call
C.the views out of the window
D.the restaurant staff's mistake
26. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A
A.The lady didn't have a nice mood and liked to stay alone.
B.The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her.
C.The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside.
D.The author didn't stop talking though he felt embarrassed.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?B
