I　didn’t　cry　when　I　learned　I　was　the　parent　of　a　disabled　child.　I　just　sat　still　and　didn’t　say　anything.

    When　Jenny　was　old　enough,　I　sent　her　to　a　kindergarten（幼儿园）.　On　the　first　morning,　Jenny　spent　hours　playing　by　herself.　It　seemed　that　she　felt　very(41).

    However,　to　my　joy,　Jenny’s　classmates　always　(42)　her,　“You　got　al　your　speling　words　right　today!”In　fact,　her　speling　list　was　the　(43).　Later,　she　faced　a　very　painful　(44)　—— at　the　end　of　the　term,　there　was　a　game　which　had　(45)　to　do　with　physical　education.　But　Jenny　was　(46)　in　it.

    My　husband　and　I　were　anxious　about　the　day.　I　wanted　to　let　my　child　stay　home!　But　my　heart　wouldn’t　let　me　off　that　easily.　So　I　(47)　a　pale,　unwiling　Jenny　onto　the　school　bus.

    At　the　kindergarten,　I　was　quite　worried　because　of　her　(48)　action,　Jenny　would　probably　hold　up　her　team.　The　game　went　wel　until　it　was　time　for　the　sack（麻袋）race.　Surely　Jenny　would　find　it　(49).　Now　each　child　had　to　climb　into　a　sack,　jump　to　the　finishing　line,　return　and　climb　out　of　the　sack.　I　noticed　Jenny　standing　near　the　end　of　her　line　of　players.

    But　as　it　was　her　turn　to　join,　a　change　took　place　in　her　(50).　The　talest　boy　behind　Jenny　placed　his　hands　on　her　waist（腰）.　Two　other　boys　(51)　in　front　of　her.　The　moment　the　player　before　Jenny　stepped　out　from　the　sack,　the　two　boys　(52)　the　sack　suddenly　and　kept　it　open　while　the　tal　boy　lifted　Jenny　and　(53)　her　into　it.　A　girl　nearby　took　her　hand　and　supported　her　(54)　Jenny　got　her　balance.　Then　she　jumped　forward,　smiling　and　proud.　In　the　cheers　of　the　teachers,　schoolmates　and　parents,　I　silently　 thanked　 the　 warm,　understanding　people　in　life　who　made　it　 (55)　for　my　disabled　daughter　to　be　like　her　felow　human　beings.　Then　　I　finaly　cried.

One morning, an old woman carrying a big basket of cabbages on her head to the market. She hoped to 　1 them to the people from town.

The mountain road was narrow（窄的）and the old woman was walking 　 2　 , because she did not want to have 　 3　 and lose her cabbages.

Suddenly she 　 4 a loud bell , and a bicycle came round the corner. It passed her and went very fast 　5 the hill. The old woman had to jump to one side of the 　6 so quickly that the basket of cabbages nearly fell into the valley（山谷）.

She looked up, and saw that a young boy was on the bicycle. He was 　7 on without even looking round to see 　8 the old woman was all right.

The old woman began to shout,“Come back, young man! You dropped something!”

When he heard this , the boy stopped the bicycle so suddenly that he 　 9 fell off . Then he turned and began to 　 10 the bicycle back up to the hill. “What is it?”he asked.“What did I drop?”“Little boy,”the old woman answered,“you dropped our manners（礼貌）.”

Two old men lived in a room on the third floor of an old people’s home.   1   of the men were badly ill, and they spent 24 hours a   2   in bed in the room.

One of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day, he   3  hours telling his friend what he could see through the window. He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park and the birds flying around．The old man far from the window got a lot of  4  from hearing about the world outside, but after a time, he began to get rather unhappy.   5  nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see   6   himself.

    One night, the man by the window called his friend, “Quick! Pull the alarm by your bed—I don’t think I can go through the night!”   7   his friend, expecting an empty bed by the window, did nothing—he just closed his  8   and went back to sleep.

The next morning, the nurse found the man dead in his bed by the window.

    The old man was very   9  as they moved him into the empty bed by the window. He sat up, pulled back the curtain（窗帘）, looked out—but   10  , he saw only a wall.
