10．A gift of love
"Can I see my baby？"the happy new mother asked．
"我可以看看我的宝宝吗？"初为人母的她开心地问道．
When the bundle（襁褓） was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face，she suddenly breathed deeply．The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window．The baby had been born without ears．
当裹着的婴儿放到她臂弯里，她掀开裹着婴儿的布，在看到他的小脸时，她不禁倒吸了一口气．医生快速地转过身，透过医院的高层窗户向外看去．婴儿生下来就没有耳朵．
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect．It was only his appearance that was spoiled．When her son rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother's arms，she sighed，knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks．
时间证明婴儿的听力毫无问题，只是有损他的相貌．一天，当他匆匆从学校跑回家，扑向母亲的怀抱时，她叹了口气，意识到他的生活注定会受到一连串的打击．
He cried out the tragedy．"A boy，a big boy…called me a freak（畸形）．"
他脱口诉说遭到的不幸："一个男孩，一个大个子男孩…他喊我怪胎．"
He grew up，handsome except for his misfortune．A favorite with his fellow students，he might have been class president，but for that．He developed a gift，a talent for literature and music．
他长大了，虽然不幸但还是长得挺帅．颇受同学的欢迎，要不是有缺陷，他很可能当了班长．他对文学和音乐很有天赋和潜质．
"But you might look the same as other young people，"his mother whispered to herself，feeling a kindness in her heart．
"但你可能会和其他年轻人一样．"母亲责备地说，但从心底里觉得很欣慰．
The boy's father had a talk with the family physician…"Could nothing be done？"
男孩的父亲与家庭医生商量…"难道真无法补救吗？"
"I believe I could graft（移植） on a pair of outer ears，if they could be obtained，"the doctor decided．So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man．
"我认为可以移植一双外耳，如果能够找到的话．"医生做了决定，于是他们开始寻求一个愿意为这个年轻人做出牺牲的人．
Two years passed through．Then，"You're going to the hospital，son．Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need．But it's a secret．"said the father．
两年过去了．对儿子说，"孩子，你要住院了．我和你妈找到愿意为你捐献耳朵的人了．但要求保密．"
The operation was a brilliant success，and a new person emerged．His talents blossomed into genius，and school and college became a series of triumphs．

分析 本文属于读写任务写作，动笔前，一定要认真阅读原文，并理解内容．认真看清题目要求，按照要点去表达，不能有遗漏，写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系．写作时尽量使用自己会的单词、词组和句型，同时也要注意使用一些高级语法和句型，使自己的文章更有文采．
亮点句型一：One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son．儿子经历过的最黑暗的日子之一．这是一个定语从句，先行词是days，在定语从句中做主语，所以用关系代词that引导．
亮点句型二：Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut．母亲说她很高兴从来没有剪过头发．这是一个宾语从句，she was glad she never let her hair be cut是mother said的宾语从句；she never let her hair be cut是形容词glad的宾语从句．
