We are going to talk again this week about higher education for disabled students who want to study in the United States．As we noted last time，there are no special colleges or universities for blind students．But there are for deaf students．One of them is Gallaudet University in Washington，D.C. Gallaudet is said to be the world’s only liberal arts university where everything is designed for deaf or hard-of-hearing students．About 2，000 students attend Gallaudet．The cost for international students is about 33,000 dollars a year．

Financial aid is available in the form of scholarships，but only after the first year of studies. Most scholarship aid goes to students in financial need who do well in their first year．One scholarship for international students is for deaf students from developing countries．Another is just for students from China．The university also offers an English Language Institute．But Gallaudet says this program does not guarantee (担保)acceptance to the university．

In the past year，students at Gallaudet protested against the administration’s choice of a new president for the university．The protests led to the choice of a different president who is more popular with the students，Robert Davila．He is a former officer of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf．This technical college is in Rochester, New York.  It is one of the eight colleges in the Rochester Institute of Technology．

More than one thousand students attend the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. About one hundred of them are international students．They come from Africa, Asia，Europe and South America.

The cost is about 28,000 dollars a year for an international Technical Institute student．Foreign graduate students pay about 20,000 dollars.  Both undergraduate and graduate student can receive limited financial aid. They can also take part in the student employment program．This program makes it possible for students to work at the school.

1. The passage is written for _______ .

2.The second paragraph mainly shows ________ .

3. Robert Davila is the president who __________ .

4.To those who study in Gallaudet，__________ .

    My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is．Through the years I 16   what the correct answer was.

When I was   17  ，I thought sound was important to us，so I said，“My  18  ”She said，“No．Many people are   19  ．But keep  20  it and I will ask you again late.”   

    Several years passed before she asked me again．This time I told her，“Mommy，if there is 21  important to us．it must be our eyes．”She looked at me and said，“You are learning   22，but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind．”

    Over the years，Mother asked me a few more times and  23  her answer was，“No，but you are getting  24  very year，my child．”

    Last year，my Grandpa  25  ．Everybody was crying．Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our  26  goodbye to Grandpa．She asked me，“Do you know what the most important part of the body is   27  ，my dear?” I was  28  when she asked me that then .I always thought this was a  29   between her and me．She saw the confusion on my face and said，“This question is very important．It shows that you have really known what your life is.” I saw  30   well up in her eyes．She said，“The answer is your shoulder．”I asked，“Is it because it   31 head?’’ She replied，“No，it is because it can hold up a  32  or relative’s head when he or she is crying．Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on  33  in life. I only hope that you have enough friends who you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need them.”

    Only then did I know what the most important part of the body is not a  34  one．It is sympathetic to the  35  of others．
