Sudha Chandran, a classical dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident.She was also cut off on her bright career road.
However, she didn’t stop struggling. In the painful three months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who had an operation on her leg. So strongly she wanted to go back to dancing after she had been fitted with a man-made leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream,so she began her brave journey back to the world of dancing — learning to balance, bend, stretch,walk, and turn.
After every public recital (个人表演), she might ask her dad about her performance. “You stillhave a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha gained popularity again by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it moved everyone to tears and this performance pushed her to the number one position again. That evening when she asked her dad the same question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise.
Sudha’s comeback was so touching that a film producer decided to make the story into a film,which has moved more and more people.
When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “YOU DON’T NEED FEET TO DANCE.” Nothing is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win,you can achieve anything.

I’m Evan Ducker. I’m just like every other 15-year-old boy, except I was born with a red birthmark(胎记).
Some birthmarks are signs of serious medical conditions. I’m very fortunate—mine isn’t. I pretty much live a regular life, except for people asking me about it all the time, which can get annoying(恼人的) sometimes.
When I was about 4 years old, I asked my mom why there weren’t any characters with birthmarks in the books she would read to me. When we went to the library, we realized there weren’t any available for little kids. Worse than that, the books available to older kids and adults described characters with birthmarks as unattractive. So I decided to write my own.
I based the story on all the real things that happened in my life. But instead of people, the characters in the book are real animals from the Galapagos Islands, including red-footed booby birds (鲣鸟). I picked a booby bird as the main character because the birds have red feet due to a vascular (血管的) condition, similar to a human birthmark!
It was really tough to get my book published. It took a long time because a lot of publishers refused to publish it. They would say there wasn’t a big enough market for a book about birthmarks.
But my mom never gave up trying to help make my dream come true. And in 2005, she finally took her own money and self-published “Buddy Booby’s Birthmark”. After it was published, I got letters from readers all over the world. They all shared their stories and thanked me for sharing mine. Teachers wrote to tell me that my book changed the way classmates treated each other and that my book was helping kids to accept and appreciate their differences.
Then, as more teachers started reading my book, I created a free global reading event, the “International Buddy Booby’s Birthmark Read—Along for Tolerance and Awareness.”
1.The author’s birthmark seems to ________.
A. be easy to remove
B. annoy him all the time
C. cause serious health problems
D. bring him some trouble
2.What the author found in the library made him ________.
A. regretful B. disappointed C. stressed D. bored
3.What did the publishers think of the author’s book?
A. It wouldn’t sell well.
B. It was rather uninteresting.
C. It was poorly written.
D. It wasn’t fit for kids to read.
4.The author’s book “Buddy Booby’s Birthmark” ________.
A. was a best-seller in 2005
B. was the first book about birthmarks
C. made a difference to its readers
D. helped kids fall in love with reading

How to be more friendly and social
If you tend to be shy, it can feel uncomfortable to put yourself out there socially. 36 You can make the extra effort to be more friendly and open to others, while still keeping your own personality.
37 The key to connecting to other people is showing interest in them. When you’re truly interested in someone else’s thoughts, feelings, experiences, stories, and opinions, they’ ll like you for it. You’ll make far more friends by showing your interest rather than trying to get people interested in you.
Be genuine (真诚的). 38 If you’re just pretending to listen or care, others will pick up on it.
Rather than promoting greater connection, your efforts will likely have the opposite effect. No one likes to be manipulated (摆布). If you’re not actually interested in the other person, then stop trying to connect.
Pay attention. 39 By paying close attention to what they say and how they interact, you’ll quickly get to know them. 40 Don’t ignore the details, such as remembering someone’s preferences, the stories they’ve told you, and what’s going on in their life.
A. Faking (伪装) takes talent.
B. Focus on others, not yourself.
C. Little things go a long way.
D. Getting to know them is the key.
E. Make an effort to truly listen to the other person.
F. Showing interest in others can’t be faked.
G. But you don’t have to be naturally outgoing or the life of the party to make new friends.
