In a special school for the hearing-impaired .he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and pushed him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pacewas faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school. The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06-being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.

     Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a
family of seven children, she often felt like she had "seven fathers," because her six brothers, as well as
her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite
her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.
     In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and
worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for
a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university's Writers' Workshop, however, she felt lonely—a Mexican American from a
poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped
Cisneros find her "Creative voice."
     "It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice.
I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn't think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance
in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That's when I decided I would write about something my
classmates couldn't write about."
     Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The
book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much
like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been
used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children's book, and a short-story collection.
1. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?
A. She had seven brothers.
B. She felt herself unimportant.
C. She was too shy to go to school.
D. She did not have any good teachers.
2. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to __________.
A. work for a school magazine
B. run away from her family
C. make a lot of friends
