My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents．It has taken many years of   36  my confidence to be able to do that．
I didn’t   37  how short I was until I started school．As time went on，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be   38  my whole life．I was determined to make my   39  an advantage rather than a disadvantage．My friends became increasingly   40   . They’d help me up the bus steps．If people were cruel，they would take them aside and   41  them．
  42  I lacked in height，I   43  in personality my ability to laugh，even at myself．For example，one time I was   44  the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes．I fell 45   in and yelled for Mother，who was sitting nearby reading the paper．Watching feet   46  everywhere，she laughed and said，“I should leave you in there.” I   47  her．
I’m 47 now，and the   48  have not reduced as I’ve grown older．People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse．They look   49  when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side．During those times，I try to keep a good   50   . When people are rude，I   51  myself，“Look what else I have --a great family，nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my life   52  ．“Why are you so short? How old are you? Are you a mommy?” When I talk with children，they are left  53  that their questions have been answered．My hope is that in taking time with them，I will  54   them to accept their peers，whatever size and shape they come in，  55 treat them with respect．

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.

The conversation soon turned into complaints about  36  in work and life. To offer his guests coffee, the 37 went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of  38  — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some 39  , some expensive, some delicate — telling them to help themselves to the  40 .
When all the students  41  a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you have 42  , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up,  43 the plain and cheap ones. While it is  44  for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the  45 of your problems and stress. "
"Be assured that the cup itself adds no  46  to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even 47 what we drink. "
"What all of you really want is coffee,  48  the cup, but you 49  went for the best cups … And then you began  50 each other's cups. "
"Now consider  51 : Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain  52 , and the type of cup we have does not determine, nor  53 the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 54 to enjoy the coffee. Fully appreciate the coffee, not the cups! Don't let the cups   55 you ... enjoy the coffee instead.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t   36  watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   37  our way after saying goodbye.
But at     38   , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I    39   the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I    40   knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart    41  . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay    42   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While    43   with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are quick to excite.  Go to look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the    44   . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She    45    them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the    46    in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her    47   . “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I    48      them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the     49   .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I    50   have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way. ”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you     51   .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I love the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the    52   you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave    53  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our    54   than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.
Remember that   55  =" (F)ATHER" + (A)ND + (M)OTHER + (I ) + (L)OVE + (Y)OU.

One day I  37  on the door of an elderly woman and asked  38  she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in  39  and I showed her my worn  40 , which no longer kept me warm.

I put my hands in the jar and  50  so much money that it was  51  for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she  52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I  53  her that I had an “A”.

I had to walk home since all the  41  had stopped after the earthquake. On my way home I  42  an old lady at a bakery shop who was giving out free bread, which made my heart  43 . A man was holding a sign that said, “Please use our  44 .” He was  45  his house for people to go to the restroom.

Then next day I drove to  48  my car with gas. There is a lack (缺乏) of  49  now and many gas stations are either closed or have very  50  lines. I got  51 , since I was behind 15 cars. Finally, when it was my  52 , the man smiled and said, “ 53  this situation, we are only giving $30 worth gas per person. Is that alright?” “ 54 . I’m just glad that we are all able to  55 ,” I said.

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and  36  asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not  37  them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step  38  on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I  39  something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been  40  to a lamppost. This was just one of the  41  things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop  42  passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated  43   I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would  44  a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to  45  my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
 46  on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them  47  making a fool of myself. I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.

Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get him quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers’ route through Germany and Austria.
How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light? And like magic everyone was out the way. Going home from work one night he passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problems. An old ambulance(救护车) was for sale. The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring. It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.
But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing , to late realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12. 5 pounds.
小题1:At long weekends and holidays Friedrich Dobl used to ____.
A．drive home in Germany
B．get caught in terrible traffic jams
C．meet other foreign workers
D．get to the place where he worked by a special quick route
小题2:Why did he decide to buy the ambulance?
A．because he had always wanted one
B．because he wanted to resell it at a higher price
C．because he liked the siren and the flashing light
D．because he knew that other traffic would get clear of the way for an ambulance.
小题3:The red cross had been removed ____.
A．but he soon put up a new one
B．because the vehicle did not look like an ambulance any more
C．so he asked the garage to paint another one on
D．but the siren and the flashing light still worked
小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Drive quicklyB．How to Avoid accidents
C．A quick Way Home? By An Ambulance D．A Safe way Home? Non-Stop
Money, jewels and important documents are not the only valuable placed in banks these days. Some mothers store their breast milk in banks.
There’re ten breast banks set up across the United States, where mothers can donate their extra milk for other women’s babies. Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization says it is the only food babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. Breast milk is especially important for babies born too early. Sometimes these premature babies must stay in the hospital for many weeks.
James Cameron is a doctor who treats newborns at Lutheran Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He says breast milk is almost like medicine. Doctor James Cameron said, “The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in the breast milk that the mom’s able to make that help provide immunity. It’s very important for the health of the newborn.”
There are several reasons some mothers may not be able to breastfeed. Some are not able to produce enough milk. Others might be taking medicines or have medical problems that prevent the process.
Lucy Baur lives near Fort Wayne. She fed her milk to both her children and always had more milk than they needed. She wanted to donate to the Indiana Mothers Milk Bank in Indianapolis. But freezing and shipping milk can be costly. Then, a donor station opened near her home.
Milk donations in the United States work like this: Donors must be willing to provide almost three liters of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers’ milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria. After that, the technicians test samples of all the milk to make sure it is safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies. Donors are tested for diseases before any milk is accepted. They are not permitted to smoke tobacco, use illegal drugs or drink too much alcohol.
小题1:The purpose of setting up breast milk banks is to_____.
A．store extra fresh milk for school children
B．provide milk to children who go hungry
C．help mothers donate milk to other babies
