　　　 We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects（缺陷）that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 　36 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 　37 . These comments may come from stories about us that have been 　38 for years—often from 　39 childhood. These stories may have no 　40 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical（操作机械的）skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 　41 my development? I was never 　42 to work on cars or be around 　43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later, 　44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 　45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 　46 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 　47 and told him about my 　48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve 　50 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 　51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 　52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 　53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 　54 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 　55 we choose.

Education for Exceptional Children

　 Exceptional children are different in some ways from others of the same age. For these children to 　31 their full adult potential, their 　32 must suit those differences.

　 Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we 　33 ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage 　34 our attention, we also see the importance of the 　35 players and the scenery of the 　36 itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the 　37 to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full 　38 of society’s understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are 　39 to the next generation.

　 Education in any society is a 　40 of the society. We can see in it the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the 41 values of the culture itself. The great 42 in exceptional children shown in public education over the past thirty years 　43 the strong feeling in our society that all 　44 , whatever their special conditions, have a right to get the chance to fully develop their abilities.

　 “All man are created equal.” We’ve 　 45 　 it many times, but it still has an important meaning for education in a democratic society. 　46 the phrase was used by this country’s founders to express equality before the 　47 , it has also been explained to mean equality of education. That 　48 educational chance for all children—the right of each child to 49 help in learning to the limit of his or her ability, whether that ability is small or great. Recent 50 decisions have made certain of the right of children—disabled or not—to a suitable education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education.

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪汉）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 　50 　by tramps to inform their 　51 　whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 　52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

　　　Quite 　53 　one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.

But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 　54　 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 　55　 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 　56 　the front gate, and began 　57　 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 　58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 　59 　and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 　60 　couldn’t hear his words. The 　61 　was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.

I felt 　62 　for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 　63 　deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 　64 , whistling as he went along.
