My wheelchair experiment was soon   54  . It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the   55  , both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加了一次周日残疾体验活动，通过对自己几个小时使用轮椅的详细记叙，说明了残疾人生活的不易。文章的最后给我们这样的启示：残疾人必须要克服心理和身体上的挑战。

1.根据空白处后面的the problems faced by disabled people可知，活动的目的是为了“意识”到残疾人面临的问题。curious about … 好奇……；aware of… 意识到……； interested in… 对……感兴趣； careful with… 注意……；照顾……。

2.根据下文some members chose…others wore…可知作者被要求“挑选”一种残疾，而不是“治愈、阻止或分析”。

3.根据最后一段第一句中的my wheelchair experiment可知，作者选择使用轮椅。有些同学显然是“像我”选择了轮椅。

4.根据后句I had never considered before how… 和这段最后一句的感慨，可知作者认为坐在轮椅上就是一次“学习”的经历，而不是工作经历或令人满意、令人放松的经历。

5.根据第二段的全段描述，活动前作者从未意识到使用轮椅有多么的“笨拙”，而不是使用轮椅有多么方便、讨厌或兴奋。很多学生选择了A，一是因为没读懂全文，二是不熟悉awkward的意思。

6.状语从句部分as soon as I sat down提示，轮子动起来发生的时间是当作者一坐下去的时候，显然能让轮子动起来的不可能是作者的身高或技巧，而是作者的体重。force也有“力”的意思，但表示可以做功的各种力，范围太大，所以最佳答案是D，因为重量也是重力，使句子意思更清楚、更生动。

7.后句then提示：本句是对上句轮子为什么会转动的解释，显然因为轮子未被锁住，而不是“修理或抓住”，更不是因为轮子没动力装置。

8.根据下文“费了好长时间我才让金属footrest （脚蹬）归位可知，这时的作者不知道把自己的脚放在哪里，毕竟是健康人在模拟残疾人的生活。

9.put …into place有“把……归位”的意思。作者是健康人，他/她刚坐到轮椅上不会驾轻就熟，所以即便将脚蹬归位这样简单的动作，竟然用了很长时间。

10.作者参加的是使用轮椅几小时的体验活动，而轮椅是一种交通工具，故最佳答案是C。means of transportation 交通工具。

11.根据第一段可知，作者参加的是残疾体验活动，使用轮椅只不过是个实验，但对残疾人而言，使用轮椅可不再是个实验，而是一辈子的生活，更不是临时的“探索、教育或娱乐”。

12.根据and后面的thought it might be restful可知，作者努力要找一个舒服的姿势，从而被人推着四处逛逛是件让人放松的事，所以要找的不是“灵活的、安全的或开始的”的姿势。我努力找一个舒服的姿势，并想着这样被带着去四处逛一会也许会让人感到宁静，甚至有些美妙。

13.相比空白处前面的restful，空白处后面的kind of nice显然递进了一步，所以最佳答案是even，意思是“甚至”。yet 然而；just仅仅；still仍。这三个选项显然不合乎前后的逻辑关系。

14.上文的“adopting a wheelchair”提示，作者坐着轮椅，自然希望被人推，而不是开车接送或引导，更不会是被人带领四处逛逛。本题学生易错选A，是因为句中的around给人的show sb. around…是固定短语的错觉。

15.通过四下张望，“我”自己得搞定这件事是作者意识到的，而不是“建议、同意或承认”的。

16.上句中提到作者意识到没人帮他推轮椅，只能自己搞定这件事。言外之意是，作者得让轮椅动起来。轮椅的轮子自然得转动，而不是被拎起、摁压或抓住。作者的手在轮椅转动起来的同时，开始疼，因为用手拨动轮椅才能转啊。

17.轮椅是一种交通工具，而交通工具最重要的是掌控方向，这是生活常识。所以，本题的正确答案是C。

18.上句提到，拨动沉重的轮子的时候，作者的手开始疼。既然轮子重，手又疼，可推断拨动轮椅不是件容易的工作。

19.本题出现在最后一段的第一句话，这段正是文章的总阶性的段落，作者要感慨残疾人的不易，自然要到体验结束，而不是实验被遗忘、重复或很快实施的时候。

20.A：弱点；B：焦虑；C：挑战；D：疾病。“我”只是“品尝”了一下残疾人必须要克服的心理和身体上的挑战。

Last Saturday, mom and I went to buy a down jacket for my grandpa. When we got to a big store, we saw down jackets of vary colours and styles. There were so many of them that it spent us quite a while to decide which one to buy. Finally, under the help of the shop assistant, he selected a black thick jacket for grandpa. Immediately, we returned back home to show it to my grandpa. Seeing it, he was very happy and couldn’t wait to put on. But we were annoying to find something was wrong with the zipper. Hurriedly, I took it back to the store and explained the shop assistant the problem To my satisfaction, she is very kind and helped me choose another one patiently. Stand in front of the mirror, my grandpa looked at himself in the new coat, smiling contently. How delighted I was!

 

When my grandfather died, my 83-year-old grandmother, once so full of life, slowly began to fade. No longer able to manage a home of her own, she moved in with my mother, where she was visited often by other members of her large, loving family. Although she still had her good days, it was often hard to arouse her interest.

But one chilly December afternoon three years ago, my daughter Meagan, then eight, and I were visiting her, when she noticed that Meagan was carrying her favorite doll.

“I, too, had a special doll when I was a little girl,” she told a wide-eyed Meagan. “I got it one Christmas when I was about your age. I lived in an old farmhouse in Maine, with Mom, Dad and my four sisters, and the very first gift I opened that Christmas was the most beautiful doll you’d ever want to see.”

“She had an elegant, hand-painted face, and her long brown hair was pulled back with a big pink bow. Her eyes were blue, and they opened and closed. I remember she had a body of kidskin, and her arms and legs bent at the joints.”

GG’s voice dropped low, taking on an almost respectful tone. “My doll was dressed in a pretty pink gown, decorated with fine lace. … Getting such a fine doll was like a miracle for a little farm girl like me — my parents must have had to sacrifice so much to afford it. But how happy I was that morning!”

GG’s eyes filled and her voice shook with emotion as she recalled that Christmas of long ago. “I played with my doll all morning long. And then it happened. My mother called us to the dining room for Christmas dinner and I laid my new doll down gently on the hall table. But as I went to join the family at the table, I heard a loud crash.”

“I hardly had to turn around — I knew it was my precious doll. And it was. Her lace skirt had hung down from the table just enough for my baby sister to reach up and pull on it. When I ran in, there lay my beautiful doll on the floor, her face smashed into a dozen pieces. She was gone forever.”

A few years later, GG’s baby sister was also gone, she told Meagan, a victim of pneumonia(肺炎). Now the tears in her eyes spilled over — tears, I knew, not only for a lost doll and a lost sister, but for a lost time.

Silent for the rest of the visit, Meagan was no sooner in the car going home than she exclaimed, “Mom, I have a great idea! Let’s get GG a new doll for Christmas. Then she won’t cry when she thinks about it.”

My heart filled with pride as I listened to my sympathetic little daughter. But where would we find a doll to match GG’s fond memories?

Where there’s a will, as they say, there’s a way. When I told my best friends, Liz and Chris, about my problem, Liz put me in touch with a local doll-make. From a doll supply house I ordered a long brown hair and a kidskin body to copy the outfit GG had so lovingly described. Liz volunteered to put the doll together, and Chris helped me make the doll’s outfit. Meagan wrote the story of the lost doll by giving examples.

Finally our creation was finished. To our eyes it was perfect. But there was no way it could be exactly like the doll GG had loved so much and lost. Would she think it looked anything like it?

On Christmas Eve, Meagan and I carried our happily packed gift to GG, where she sat surrounded by children, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. “It’s for you,” Meagan said, “but first you have to read the story that goes with it.”

GG no sooner got through the first page than her voice cracked and she was unable to go on, but Meagan took over where she left off. Then it was time to open her present.

I’ll never forget the look on GG’s face as she lifted the doll and held it to her chest. Once again her tears fell, but this time they were tears of joy. Holding the doll in her frail arms, she repeated over and over again, “She’s exactly like my old doll, exactly like her.” 

And perhaps she wasn’t saying that just to be kind. Perhaps however impossible it seemed, we had managed to produce a close copy of the doll she remembered. But as I watched my eight-year-old daughter and her great-grandmother examining the doll together, I thought of a likelier explanation. What GG really recognized, perhaps, was the love that inspired the gift. And love, wherever it comes from, always looks the same.

Today is Mother’s Day. I love mother so much that I’ve done many things for him. In the morning I buy some flowers with my pocket money and put them in a vase. In the afternoon, I went to buy some vegetable and cooked simple but delicious dinner for my family. After the meal, I gave mother a card what I made myself and said “Happy Mother’s Day” to her. Then I told her to pay more attention on her health and not overwork. I also promised to help her to do some housework from today on. Heard the words, mother was moved to tears.

Today is a specially day, warm but meaningful.

 

 

I remember my math teacher Mr. Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger. w.w I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.

One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”.

 I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things.

The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.

I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned. I smiled at him and said, “Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger?”

He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.

“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that,” I said.

The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B+; Mechanical Drawing, C-; English, D-; History, C-; Gym, B+; Art, C; Math, D-.

That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received. Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
