Michael O’her lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. The father believed in encouragement.
Though Michael was the    36   of the class when he entered high school, his    37   continued to encourage him, but also made it very clear that he did not have to play    38   if he didn’t want to.
However, Michael loved football and was    39   to try his best at every practice. All through high school, he never    40   a practice or a game, but remained a bench warmer(替补队员) all four years. His    41   father was always in the stands, with words of    42   for him.
It was the end of the football season, and as Michael ran slowly onto the practice field shortly    43   the big final game, the coach met him with a telegram. Michael    44   the telegram and became deathly silent—his father died that morning, and the sad man left for    45   immediately.
In the third quarter, when the team was ten points    46  , a silent young man eagerly    47   onto the sidelines. The coach and his players were shocked to see their team-mate back so    48  .
“Coach, please let me    49  . I have to play today,” said Michael. Feeling sorry for him, the coach    50  . Before long, nobody could believe their eyes. This small bench warmer played like a(n)    51  . He helped his team win finally.
When the team was cheering for their    52  , Michael was sitting in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “You were fantastic! Tell me    53   you did it?”
Tears in eyes, Michael said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know he was blind?” He    54   a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could    55   me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?

In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”

“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.

“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.

“The artwork?” I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

What a relief!

“Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”

“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.

My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.

One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.

When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分别) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.

They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (问候) me in the same way.

1.How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?

A．He was told that Frank was in the hospital.

B．He was invited to study Frank’s illness.

C．Frank greeted him in a special way.

D．Frank’s name was written on the door.

2.When and where did Dr. P first meet Frank?

A．At the R Hospital about ten days before.

B．In an air-raid shelter during the war.

C．In Mrs. West’s house in 1941.

D．In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed.

3.The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were __________.

A．those who suffered from illness.

B．those who were killed during the war

C．those who slept in the air-raid shelter.

D．those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids

4.Dr. P placed his foot against Fran’s before he left the shelter.

A．to find out if Frank could put on his shoes

B．to be friendly towards Frank

C．to see if Frank’s feet were normal

D．to teach Frank to greet people in a special way

5.Why did Dr P say that Mrs West had to be a strong, able woman?

A．She was over 75.

B．She needed all the attention of a baby.

C．She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby.

D．She lost nearly everything in the war.

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life．I had my arms full of books and I was rushing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Carlos.

"My... you're tall," he said. The whole class burst out laughing .

“Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky(骄傲自大的) newcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one , in the back of the room.

Carlos laughed widely. "But I need a couple of dictionaries."

The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go, I saw Carlos coming toward me. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you," he said . I looked straight ahead over the top of his black hair. "That's all right."

"I ought to know better." He was still blocking my way. "What's your name?" "Karen Forbes." He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. " I am Carlos . I don't see why you're so touchy."

It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Carlos was voted vice-president．“How come ?”I kept asking myself, "How come this shrimp（虾）who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"

When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself." "You seem to get along great,” I admitted, "But what about me? The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red…
