A year ago Michelle was looking forward to all the joys—and challenges—that being a young mother can bring. Instead the 26-year-old victim of a stroke (中风), was left trapped in her own body—able to see, think and hear perfectly but unable to speak or move a muscle. She was a victim of the devastating “locked-in syndrome”, -sometimes described as “like being buried alive”-a type of brain damage usually caused by a stroke, a bleed or a tumour. This means the only way she could communicate with her husband Rick and their two young children was through moving and blinking (眨眼) her eyes.

Before the tragedy, Michelle was an active mother. She suffered the stroke while bathing her baby daughter, Holly. The only warning Michelle had of the stroke was a series of splitting headache in the months before.

Following the attack, the only part of her body she could move was her eyes, meaning all she could do was look up to say ‘yes’ or close an eyelid for ‘no’. Her family have a board with the alphabet (字母表) arranged on different colored backgrounds. They painstakingly work out which letter she wants by indicating each letter on the board. It allows Michelle to explain how she is feeling and whether she is cold or warm. She sends messages to her family and even tells if her son Ryan has been naughty, giving instructions about which toys he can play with.

Rick, 24, has given up his job as a mechanic to look after their children Ryan, three, and Holly, one, and is now training to be Michelle’s full-time carer. Ryan was old enough to know his mummy was unwell but Holly was too young to understand. But she responds really well to Michelle.

To keep her involved in family life, when one of the children needs new clothes Rick will ask for her opinion using the alphabet board. Although it can take minutes to spell out each word the family and nurses wait patiently as it is her only means of communication.

Last month her best friends organized a sponsored running, which raised almost £17,000.

She has been in hospital for almost a year and has left twice, once for her brother’s wedding and once for a fund-raising event. 

Doctors say it is hard to predict her future but she is showing slight signs of improvement. She has started to gain control of her mouth and tongue and can now move her head slightly.

                 What’s the Matter with Kids Today?

Dear Michelle,

   Why can’t my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and a top student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back. He uses up every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talk(对花言巧语) her as well.

   His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choices will be limited.

   I want to save her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy, and now this! Help!

                                                         A worried mother

Dear Mother of a 17-year-old girl,

  “Hmm…. What’s the matter with kids today?” Remember that song from Bye Bye Birdie?

  Well, if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the young age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, nor should it be. Both the conditions and the skills for life-management result from life experience, and if management goes before experience there would be little of it.

   Your daughter is a top student for good reasons. She is smart and studies with intelligence and you have given her good values.

   When the time comes for her to choose her college, and she visits the ones that were designed for students at the top of their game, she will most probably break away from her boyfriend’s influence.

  Few top students would change their life path just because of puppy love(早恋).

  That being said, there might be some childish wisdom in what she is doing after all.

  Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for the reason that she does not know herself. Being such a good girl and being always a source of joy might have become a bit too much for her.

  Let your daughter have her own private moment of 11th grade rebellion. It’s not unreasonable for her to break from perfection.

                                                               Michelle

 

56. From the mother’s letter we know that the 17-year-old girl ____.

  A. is staying with the boy day and night             B. wants to stay with the boy at college

  C. is falling behind in her studies                       D. does not like to talk with her mother

57. According to Michelle, a 17-year-old girl is too young to ____.

  A. fall in love                                                 B. have life-management skills

  C. fail life-management problems                    D. experience anything

58. Michelle seems to believe the 17-year-old girl will finally ____.

  A. come up with the right decision                    B. be persuaded by her boyfriend

  C. take her mother’s advice                           D. make her boyfriend follow her choice

59. By saying “childish wisdom”, Michelle means the girl might be trying to show her parents that she _____.

  A. has become tired of studying hard                  B. can’t be always obeying them

  C. likes her boyfriend very much                        D. is always perfect
