  As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods.“The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse.If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气)of airy acceptance.It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.

  We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索).Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today.History seemed to be mostly about explorers.Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind:something usually came up along the way.Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.

  Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were.If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical:the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees.There were four or five trees that we visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.

  It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end.By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期).In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring.We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree.Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.

Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure.

You can pick grapes in France, entertain(逗乐)kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are   4  jobs in hotels and restaurants.

But it is not easy to find work,“   5  you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,”says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on    6  for students.“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian.

  Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.

  Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent(才能)at something else.

Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline(纪律)problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.
