I lost my sight when 1 was 4 years old in an accident．Now I'm 32．

It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love 36 so much, as I do now, if I hadn't been 37 ．I don't mean that l would prefer to go with no sight．I simply mean that the 38 of it made me 39 more what I had left．

Life，I believe， 40 a continuous series of adjustments to reality．The more 41 a person is able to make these adjustments，the more 42 his life becomes．The adjustment is never easy．I had to 43 in myself，or else 1 would have collapsed（崩溃）．When I say belief in myself，I am not talking about simply the kind of 44 that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone．But I 45 something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections，a real， 46 person．

It took me years to discover and 47 this assurance．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball．I thought he was making fun of me and I was 48 ．“I can't use this，”I said “Take it with you，”he urged me，“and roll it around.” The word stuck in my head．By 49 the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to 50 a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball．At Philadelphia School for the Blind I invented a successful 51 of baseball. We call it Ground Ball.

All my life I have set ahead of me a series of 52 and then tried to reach them, one at a time．But I had to be aware of my 53 ．It was no good to try for something that I knew at the start was out of 54 because that only invited the bitterness of 55 ．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．

I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ringfree life.

Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our hightech, inahurry age, a cellfree life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.

I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone，an email and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out，people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7？However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.

Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.

“Where have you been？” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.

I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.

. What does the underlined phrase “toss away” mean?

A. give away B. get away C. break away D. throw away

The writer mentions Frodo to________.

A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone

B. show how much he likes Frodo

A. Mobile phones can do anything for us.

B. Mobile phones have become very important in our life.
