"Everybody is a genius.But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."—Albert Einstein
If you have a kid with special needs in the school system,chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall.My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy(脑瘫)and it means,combined with her communication and sight problems,that normal standard isn't always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer,the 26-yearold teacher in Jacksonville,Florida,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five.I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way.Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience."I have seen their confidence increase rapidly."he said.All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.
Syona's teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome.Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done—she focuses on what can be done.Over the past several months,my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase tenfold.She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before.She recently told me about her classmate's trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home.We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess.If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis,we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
1.What does the author think of Albert Einstein's saying?
A. Funny. B. True.
C. Strange. D. Confusing.
2.What can we learn about Syona's teacher?
A. She is Syona's favorite teacher.
B. She puts Einstein's quote on the wall.
C. She uses videos to teach her students.
D. She helps increase her students' confidence.
3.Why did Syona feel proud in the third paragraph? .
A. Her mother knew what she expressed.
B. Her progress was appreciated by her parents.
C. She had developed a positive attitude.
D. She had been to Ecuador with her classmate.
4.What change has taken place in the author's family?

B. They visit Ulmer's classroom regularly.
C. They give each other praise every day.
D. They feel grateful to people in their lives.

The Simple Technique That Could Save Cyclists' Lives
It's called the Dutch Reach, and if a Massachusetts doctor has his way, it could prevent road riders 1.ever getting doored again.
Last year, some 45,000 bicyclists were injured on the road, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. And ten percent of those 2.(injury)were the direct result of the rider getting doored: a supremely terrifying, 3.(pain)collision where a driver opens his door immediately in front of a cyclist.
Michael Charney, a 70-year-old 4.(retire) doctor from Cambridge, Massachusetts, is spearheading a grassroots campaign to end dooring forever. The campaign promotes the Dutch Reach—a technique where a driver reaches over with his right hand to open the car door, 5.(force) him to turn his body, look over his shoulder—and 6.(hopeful) see any oncoming cyclists.
The name 7.(inspire)by the bike-friendly Netherlands, where drivers are required in their driving exams to open car doors with their right hands. Charney hopes this potentially life-saving technique will be adopted in the U.S. It’s already picking up some de facto (实际存在的)steam; there’s now a sign at an intersection in Cambridge 8.a cyclist was killed last year by a car door that reads, “Safer to open car door with far hand.”
“It’s simple, it’s obvious, 9.it costs nothing” Charney told The Boston Globe. “People just have to switch from one thoughtless habit to another thoughtless habit –but the 10.(two) one is safer.”
