About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.

He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and — WHUMP! — it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. " That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?" "Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.

Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

Several factors make a good newspaper story. First, obviously, it must be new. But since YV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for __1__. They usually respond to it in one of the three ways.

By providing __2__ derails, comment or background information.

By finding a new __3__ on the day’s major stories.

By printing completely different stories which TV doesn’t broadcast.

What else? Well, it also has to be __4__. People don’t want to read about ordinary, everyday life. Because of this, many stories __5__ some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be __6__ news. “Plane lands safely, no more hurt” doesn’t sell newspaper. “Plane __7__, 200 feared dead!” does.

Next, there’s human interest. People are interested in other __8__－particularly in the rich, famous and powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians, __9__, all appear regularly in certain newspapers.

Finally, for many editors, __10__ is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, places and events which their readers know. That’s why the stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are often very different from the stories presented in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 36 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 37 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.

David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的) clothes. I had often 38 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 39 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 40 . I can still remember he was always 41 a smile and willing to help. He always 42 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 43 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 44 home.

Weeks passed and the 45 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 46 before the holiday break. I smiled in 47 as the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around I saw David 48 standing by my desk.

“I have something for you,” he said and 49 from behind his back a small box. 50 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 51 I saw nothing. I looked at David‘s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s 52 .”

“Oh no, it isn’t,” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”

Tears filled my eyes 53 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 54 to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 55 the little empty box set on my desk.

36. A. anxious B. courageous serious D. sceptical

37. A. warning B. ringing calling D. yelling

38. A. scolded B. wondered realized D. learned

39. A. irregularly B. unnaturally untidily D. improperly

41. A. expressing B. delivering wearing D. sharing

42. A. practiced B. wandered studied D. stayed

43. A. would B. should might D. could

44. A. aim at B. turn to put off D. head for

45. A. argument B. excitement movement D. judgment

46. A. school B. year education D. program

47. A. relief B. return vain D. control

48. A. weakly B. sadly quietly D. helplessly

49. A. searched B. found raised D. pulled

50. A. Holding B. Handing Sending D. Leaving

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice. “Mom, come here! There’s this lady near my size!” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I answered. “Why are you so little?” he asked. “It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand and left.

My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids joked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.

But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.

I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have – a great family, nice friends.”

It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
