Twelve years ago yesterday, my mother gave birth to the most beautiful girl.  31 , we were later given the  32  that this little girl, who was three and a half months old, would only have 14 days on the earth. It’s hard to understand what kind of  33  you have when you find out that you’re  34 something that you don’t even know.
As time went on, the number of days kept growing, which gave us  35 . When the doctors said that we could take her home, that was  36 reality hit. We had no  37 .
I am from a small town with  38 hospitals, but when you don’t have money, you just don’t  have it. My mother tried for days to get the money, but nothing  39 each time. A caseworker(社會工作者) was even doing her best. It’s  40 that it almost felt as if we had to  41  a baby from the hospital.
One day the caseworker walked into her boss’s office to  42  again. As she walked out,  43 down yet again, out of nowhere a man walked up to her. He  44 her a handful of money and said, “Please give this to the lady in  45 , so she can take her daughter home.” She looked down at her hand with tears in her eyes. As she looked back up to thank him, he was  46  . They searched all over that hospital and he was no where to be  47 .
Thanks to the guy that I will  48 know, we could take home that  49 baby girl that was only given 14 days to live, and celebrated her 12th birthday yesterday. I am grateful to this man and feel that his act of  50 should be shared with everyone.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And   1   otherwise assignen（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always    2  to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this    3  after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy   4   because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the   5  to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “   6  for  it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up t he courage to go to the tryouts was only the    7  of it! When I first started  8   
the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much    9 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get     10   and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.   11   , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to    12    on learning the game, do my best at each prctice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t    13  “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the   14 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and moticating. Very soon the competitive   15  in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the   16    — friends who respect my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my    17   self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from   “18”  in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,  19  
raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent   20  I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

A few days ago my wife sent me out to buy something. When I came home, I handed(交給) her a paper bag and said, “Here are the apples you wanted.” She looked in the bag, and then she looked at me. “I told you,” she said slowly, “to buy some eggs.”
I felt worried about my absent-mindedness, so I went to see a doctor. He was a very kind man. “I have seen many people like you. It’s nothing to worry about,” he said. “If you know you are absent-minded, you are all right. But if you do not know you’re absent-minded, you may be really in trouble.”
“Many famous people were absent-minded,” the doctor told me. “Thomas Edison(愛迪生)was standing in line(排隊) one day to pay his taxes(稅). When he arrived at the window, he found that he had forgotten his own name. He had to ask the man who was behind him to tell him who he was.”
I felt much better and got up to leave. “Thank you, doctor,” I said. “How much do I have to pay you?”
“Ten dollars for the check-up(檢查),” the doctor said.
“But doctor, I did not have a check-up!”
For a moment the doctor looked puzzled. Then he said, “Oh, yes, it was the patient before you who had a check-up. How absent-minded I am!”

The first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman Laurent Clerc. He and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet founded America’s first school for the deaf.
When Laurent Clerc was one year old, he fell into a fire. As a result, he lost both his hearing and his sense of smell. At the age of 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.
Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister when he met a young deaf girl, Alice Cogswell. He was upset to learn that there were no schools for the deaf in America. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. However, he was unable to get help. He met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to Paris to learn at the Royal Institution for the Deaf.
Gallaudet went to the Royal Institution for the Deaf, where Clerc became his Sign Language teacher. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return to America, he asked Clerc to come with him.
The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut.
小題1:
America’s first school for the deaf was founded __________.

B．the school wanted Clerc to be prepared to teach Americans
C．the school was impressed with Clerc, and thought he would do a good job

More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert. One day the Prince wanted to go hunt-ing with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed. When the Prince came back from hunt-ing, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelert's jaws and head.
"What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.
"So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.
