文章大意:这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述女儿老师把有语言障碍的女儿赶出了六年级的故事,结合自己的经历,表示担心有诵读困难的孩子在离开学校之前就会自行放弃,指出父母必须为孩子创造成功。

【推荐1】My sixth-grade daughter was being kicked out of school. The teacher explained, “She may not be _________ what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was _________ saying she didn’t have the _________, which made me mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known about me when I was _________ in school. We had her _________ and found that the troubles she was going through were exactly what I had suffered from — dyslexia (诵读困难症). Just then I was a _________ television writer, and had been awarded Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.”

If I had known earlier that something beyond my _________ could explain why I was a low _________, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was working for no other reason than to hear people _________ me, because I did __________ in all my courses.

I once asked a friend why he always got an A, “How long did you study for this?” He replied, “I didn’t. I just __________ it.” So he must be smarter. “What if I’m not good at anything?” I began to ask. Despite my __________, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve __________ dyslexia.”

No, I don’t. I learn to __________ it. I __________ making a call if possible, because I sometimes have to try many times to get the number right.

Despite these weaknesses, I view dyslexia as a(n) __________. Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is.

I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my __________.

The real __________ I have for dyslexic children is not they have to __________ in school, but that they will be quitters before they get out of school. Parents have to create __________ for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other pride.”
