A man, who sometimes takes my bus, is in rags. His life seems different from that of the others. He looks exhausted and carries nothing. He appears along a downtown street, seemingly out of nowhere. We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night.
A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it. The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money...”
The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box.
“You’re lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell over the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world. He fixed her world.
I haven’t seen him since that day. Some people believe angels occasionally drop down and move among us. All I know is that I have a new respect for the simple act of kindness. It speeds us along on our way.

Janice Fialka showed a new documentary (紀(jì)錄片) about her cognitively (認(rèn)知地) disabled son at schools and seminars across the country.Everyone seemed to enjoy it，but one comment from a teacher proved her family’s investment to Fialka was a success.
“In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said，‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4­year old with Down Syndrome (先天愚型)，’”Fialka said.“She said，‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him.Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”
The story of Micah Fialka­Feldman，a 22­year­old Oakland University student，is meant to show parents，educators and the disabled anything is possible.
Fialka­Feldman wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true”．A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college，but because family and friends believed in him he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes.
The title of the film Through the Same Door came from a day when Fialka­Feldman，who was enrolled in a first grade special education program，told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school.It led him to becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
Though he can’t read or write on his own，F(xiàn)ialka­Feldman reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software，tutors，and the embrace (接受) of his community.
At Berkley High School，F(xiàn)ialka­Feldman won the Social Studies Department Award for civic (公民的) involvement.In 2004 he received the Michigan “Yes，I Can” award for self­advocacy (自強(qiáng))．
He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance，took a 10­day trip through Israel with friends last year，and enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program，which is geared (使適合于) to help the disabled go from high school to college.
Fialka said he’s the happiest kid in the world.Everyone should be so happy.
小題1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Disabled Man Living His Dream
B．Nothing Is Impossible
C．Don’t Look Down Upon the Disabled
D．Through the Same Door
小題2:What the early childhood teacher said suggests that________.
A．disabled people should be realistic about their dreams
B．she used to believe we should not expect much from disabled people
C．she hadn’t given the 4­year old with Down Syndrome enough attention
D．the documentary about Fialka­Feldman encouraged the disabled
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true about Fialka­Feldman?
A．He was the first cognitively disabled student in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
B．He went to school by public transportation and was helped to pick up classes.
C．He benefited from computer software and other people.
D．He received the “Yes，I Can” award for civic involvement and self­advocacy
小題4:Which of the following shows the correct order of events of Fialka­Feldman?
a．He received the Michigan “Yes，I Can” award.
b．His documentary was shown and welcomed.
c．He was enrolled in a first grade special education program.
d．He finished high school with a certificate of attendance.
e．He enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program.

Money was tight (緊的) ，as well as time. When my children were little, if they wanted something that         too much I’d have to say, “Do you see a money        outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all five got through high school and college, and started living on their own. And I started thinking again about having a        .
