1 . It was “Disabilities Day at the Capitol ” and I was there, along with hundreds of Georgians, hoping to get the attention of our legislators (立法者). My thoughts ran back to the days when I was struggling to deal with my hearing loss learning, often dependent on others to help me hear. Now I stood under the gold dome of the Georgia Capitol, a member of the disabled community claiming the rights of people with disabilities.

After the rally (集会) I followed the crowd across the street to a free lunch. Although the crowd was huge, I managed to find a place to sit. I introduced myself to the young woman on my right, Kendall. However, with my hearing loss and her serious speech disorder, a conversation with her was next to impossible.

After a few moments, I realized that Kendall’s personal attendant (护工) was not present. I asked if anyone knew where she was and found out there had been a family situation and the attendant had to leave. “But,” I said, “who’s going to feed Kendall?” My thoughts were racing: someone had to help Kendall. In admitting her need I had to at once declare my responsibility to help.

Surprisingly, Kendall spoke clearly with her eyes. It was those eyes that spoke to me that day as we were waiting for lunch. I asked if I might serve her lunch. She nodded “Yes!” and her eyes said “Thank you!”

Helping Kendall that day shows an important belief of my life: We need each other. With or without a disability, it is our need for each other that makes us have a good life.

Will our parents check our homework? Not really. Since having already growing up, we can’t act like little baby and rely on our parents all the time.

When I was in Grade Three, my parents asked us to check my homework by myself. I don’t know what to do in that time, so I cried. Before that, I got used to correcting my own homework and became more independent.

Check homework by ourselves is very good habit. It can not only help us find mistakes in exams more easy but also let our parents worry less about our studies. Because parents will leave us some day, so we should learn to do everything by ourselves.

5 . It had long been troubling a little boy that his desk mate could rank 1st in the class every time while he failed to: he only ranked 21st.

At home, he asked his Mom, “Mom, am I more stupid than others? I feel I am as hardworking as him, but how come I always fall behind?”     1    

In another test, the son ranked 15th, and his desk mate remained 1st. Back home, he raised the same question.     2     However, was this answer in her son’s best interest? Thank goodness she did not open her mouth.

There were times she wanted to tell him, “Your father and I used to be outstanding. Why aren’t you just as clever?” But she stopped because she felt it was cruel to blame him and that she needed a better answer.

    3     To reduce the burden on her son who was suffering from the pains of unsatisfied grades and rankings, Mom decided to take him to the sea. During the trip, she managed to give out an answer.

Now, the son no longer worries about his rankings, because, with the 1st ranking, he is admitted to a top university.     4     In the lecture, he mentioned a valuable experience, “…When my mother and I was lying on the beach, she pointed to the front and said, ‘Do you see the seabirds over there? When the waves come near, little birds can rise quickly while it would take longer for clumsy sea-gulls to complete the process. However, have you noticed birds that finally fly across the endless ocean are none other than clumsy sea-gulls?’     5    ” The moving speech affected many mothers present into tears, including his mother.

A．Feeling sad for her son’s failure, mom scolded him.

B．Mom really wanted to tell her son that intelligence differs.

C．Hearing the words, she went wordless, not knowing how to explain.

D．You might be a bit slower, but you will be the one who will make it!

E．Mom was so proud of her son’s success as to often share her experience.

F．Back to his high school, he was invited to give a speech to the students and parents.

G．Time flying swiftly, despite great efforts, he was still unable to keep up with his desk mate.

6 . One afternoon many years ago, I parked my car by the street, waiting to_______ my mother from work.   

As I looked outside the car window to my right, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother _______ from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been _______ from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, _______ nothing had happened.

Actually, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t think of their falling down as failure; _______, they treat it as a learning experience. They _______ try and try again until they succeed. While I was _______ by the boy’s persistence, I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each _______, he looked so confident and so natural. No _______ of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged — as if he didn’t give a care about the world around him.

His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a child — being just himself completely in the moment. He was not looking for approval or was not worrying about ________ someone was watching or not. He wasn’t ________ about being judged. He didn’t seem to be ________ by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall and that it would be ________ if he did fall. No, all that ________ to him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability — to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that ________ and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.

________, I’ve always believed that in each of us is a little child with absolute courage, a child that has the ability to run freely without a care for anything external（外在的）. I believe that courageous part of us — that courageous child ________ us all, will always be with us ________ we live. We only need to allow it to emerge more fully. We only need to once again ________ that child within us — and give that child permission to run freely, just like that boy in the ________.

7 . Last semester in my final year of high school, I had a kind teacher whom I can never forget. I was not the best student when it came to writing tests. I had to work extra hard to get good marks, although I enjoyed learning. Anyway, this class that I truly enjoyed still had me struggling to do well on my tests. My teacher willingly helped me and was always willing to answer my questions, and I greatly appreciated it. He was a remarkable teacher, always reaching out to students and helping them achieve their greatest potential.

I remember the day of writing my final exam, I was the last one still writing in the exam room as always, reviewing my exam paper, while everyone else had already finished and left the room. After turning in my exam-paper, I started to leave the classroom, but decided to turn around and say what I had meant to say.

What I did right then was that I sincerely thanked my teacher for everything. What I said to him lastly meant a lot more to him than I thought it would —“I really enjoyed this class.” I did not think much about it. I was just being honest with him, but the look on his face was remarkable. He seemed really touched and appreciated my simple comment, just knowing that one of his students had truly enjoyed his class. That is what I call a simple, yet very meaningful act of kindness to brighten a teacher’s day, because they work so hard for us and truly inspire us to learn.

It is what we say and do to show concern to others that can make somebody else’s day extra special. I believe that a simple praise can mean a lot more than one can think.

10 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式

An influential American philosopher used to say “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go to do it because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

What makes you come alive? How are you     1    (find)aliveness in your living? Only when paying attention     2    what makes us come alive, we experience awakening,     3     (aware) and consciousness in how we live.

Brie Seavey     4    shared her story of experiencing    5    inspiring awakening about five years ago, says the lesson she has learned is trying     6    (move) forward no matter what kind of struggle you may have. If people or things bring you happiness, then surround    7    (you) with them and if they bring heart ache,     8    (calm)down. You can complicate    9    simplify the problem as it is all up to you.

Just like Brie, I believe life can be light and cheerful as long as we find     10    (mean)ways to live, to come alive and feel alive. We can prove that art is not a fantasy and our lives is art itself, and we are the artist, the world is our canvas(画布).
