Isabel Powell likes to swim. It’s a(n)1thing that she shares with a movie star she’11
be meeting later this year—a star whose life story is coming to a theater near you this month.
Who’s the star? A dolphin named Winter. And2is not the only thing that she and Isabel have in common.
Winter lost her3when she was a baby. She got it caught in a trap used to4crabs. Isabel, who had a similar experience to Winter, once had a5life.6, when she was 2 a tumor(肿瘤)on her foot7her leg.
Now, both Winter and Isabel8artificial limbs. In Isabel’s case, it’s an artificial leg and foot. In Winter’s case, it’s an artificial tail.
In November, Isabel will travel from her home to Clearwater, Florida, to9Winter. Clearwater is the site of the aquarium(水族馆)where Winter has lived since she was10from that trap.
According to the Kitsap Sun, the meeting was set up by the man who designed Winter’s artificial tail—Kevin Carroll. Carroll also11artificial limbs for people.
He and Isabel12met last month in Bremerton, Washington, at the13where she got her artificial leg, which freed her of the14that had troubled her for years.15Carroll met Isabel and found out she wants to be a veterinarian (兽医), he decided to set up the meeting.
She16people who’ve lost limbs by17them they can still do the things they used to do. According to the Kitsap Sun, she plays softball,18karate competition and chases after her dog, too. For years, she didn’t know anybody else who had an artificial limb. Now, she’s about to meet a movie star who has one, too.
And she no longer feels so 19. “I think it’s pretty cool,” Isabel told Kitsap Sun reporter Chris Henry. “Winter has an artificial tail. That makes me think that I’m not the only20one. There are thousands more.”

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know 1 you think you are a 2 person or a coward(懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question3 you are tested in real life. Some people4 they are brave but when they come face to face with real5 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like6.
Lenny had always thought of himself as a7 person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and his health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy.8 , on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. He saw a woman in the9 water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very10 and did a very courageous thing. He jumped into Potomac,11 to the woman, and kept her head12 the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not13 .
When you are in a very14 situation and feel afraid, the body automatically(自动地)produces a chemical in the blood. This chemical is called adrenalin(肾上激素).15 adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are16 to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this 17 , the muscles become very hard and you find you18 move at all. You are paralyzed(使无能为力) with fear. This is19 when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we are ‘petrified’, this word comes from a Greek word ‘petros’, which means ‘stone’. We are20 frightened that we become stonelike.

My mother knew that she could not send me to college and pay for it.If I wanted to go to college, it was up to roe to find out how to get there.I found that I1for some grants (助学金).There was enough to2school and books, but not enough for room and board.I accepted a job as part of a work-study program.I washed dishes in the school cafeteria.My grades went 3.It was the hardest work I had 4done.
Just when I thought I was going to5of my college career, a friend told me that his grandmother needed help on the weekends.6that was required of me was cooking meals. Now I would have time to study.I went to meet his grandmother and accepted the job.My first 7was his grandmother' s great love of music.One day, she told me I didn't have enough 8 in my life and decided to teach me the art.Grandma was9with my ability and encouraged me to continue.Weekends became more than just books and cooking; they were 10the wonderful sounds of the piano and two singers.
When Christmas break came, Grandma got a chest cold11I was unwilling to leave her.I hadn't been home since Labor Day, and my family was12to see me.I said my good-bye,13for her temporary care and returned home.14I was loading my car to go back to school, the phone rang and my friend told me Grandma died.I hung up the phone feeling like my world had ended.I had15my friend, and that was 16worse than knowing I would have to return to dishwashing.
Four weeks later, I asked to begin the work-study program again.The financial aid advisor looked at me 17I had lost my mind.I 18my position, then he smiled and slid me an envelope which was from Grandma.She had known how sick she was.In the envelope was enough money to pay for the rest of my school year and a request that I take piano lessons in her 19. Now, years later, when I walk by a piano, I 20and think of Grandma.She is playing the piano in heaven, I am sure.

William Franklin came to my class half a year ago. But from his first day here, he   1  himself in his own world and he never spoke to others. As his teacher, I tried to start a talk with him but   2 . It seemed as if he just didn’t want to break his   3 .
After the Thanksgiving holiday, we received the news of the   4  Christmas collection of money for the   5  in our school. “Christmas is a season of   6  ,” I told my students. “Some poor students in our school might not have a   7  holiday. By giving a little money, you will help   8  some toys, food and clothing for these needy students. We will   9  the collection tomorrow.”
The next morning,   10  , I found out almost everyone had   11  this matter except Willard Franklin. He came up to my desk with his head down.   12  , he dropped two coins into the small box. “I don’t need milk for lunch,” he said in a   13  voice.
After school I couldn’t help sharing what had   14  in the morning with our headmaster. “I may be wrong, but I   15  Willard might be ready to become part of our class.” “ I am   16  to hear that,” he nodded. “And I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need   17 . Here, take a look at it.”
As I sat down to   18  , I found Willard Franklin was at the top of the list. At that moment, I felt I really   19  Willard for the first time: a cold face with a warm heart. From this   20  , I also learnt that whether rich or poor, every child has a kind heart.

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a car and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of 1 and what color red is. It would be 2 to see again, but a(n) 3 can do strange things to people. I don’t mean I would 4 to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate more what I had 5.
My parents and my teachers saw something in me ----- a 6 to live ---- which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight in out with 7.
The 8 lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of 9 that helps me down so unfamiliar staircase alone. I 10 something bigger than that: a confidence that I am, despite being 11, a real, positive person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this confidence. It had to start with the easy and simple things. 12 a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was 13. “I can’t use this,” I said. “Take with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words 14 in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could 15 where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought 16 before playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I 17 a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.
I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my 18. It was no good crying for something that I knew at the start was 19 out of reach because that only invited bitterness of failure. I would fail something anyway, 20 on the average I made progress.

Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more1 and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers 2on streets.
These printed things3newspapers but have hardly anything to do with 4 . You can only find reading materials badly made up there---some are too strange for anyone to5, others are frightening stories of something 6.However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such 7reading, which8them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares(噩梦)and immoral(邪恶)ideas in 9. Homework is left 10, and daily games are lost.
These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 11they are, we never know, are12their silent money.
The sheep-skinned wolf's story seems to have been forgotten once again .Why not13this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers. 14,the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it.15you may even find several children, driven by the curious natures, 16one patched paper, which has travelled from hand to hand.
It really does17to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The18teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation. At the same time the young19need more interesting books to help them 20those ugly papers.

It is interesting how NASA(美国航天航空局) chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men1the ages of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them. Some were2air pilots, and3were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose, told him the plans and the4they might get into. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut, “How could any man5such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous6most exciting.”
The health and physical condition of the people was,7, very necessary. Only those in very good health and physical condition were8.
While being trained to be astronauts, they went through many9. They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary10astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the11of the moon. They were all12to fly in helicopters. There helicopters landed straight down to give them some13of the way the spaceship would actually land on the14. They were also taught the known facts about the15in space. They learnt about all the scientists and engineers who16spaceships. They visited the17where spaceships were repaired. They learnt how every18of a spaceship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control19.
In a word, to be chosen as astronaut, one must be in good20, well-informed in science and good at piloting.

Tom was a middle-aged leather trader (皮货商) whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often 1that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so2with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Tom and his wife were busily3up their new home, the light suddenly 4 Tom was regretful to have forgotten to bring along 5and had to wait6 in a low mood. Just then he heard light, hesitant 7on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the 8 night.
“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom was a9 to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be10, so he went to the door and opened it _11 At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor. ” “No,” answered Tom in anger and shut the door 12“What a nuisance (麻烦事)!” He complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to 13things.”
After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside. 14this time she was15 two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She16me here to give you these.” Tom was very 17 by what he saw. At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his 18_ in life. It was his 19and harshness (刻薄) with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was 20 nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic (无同情心的)mind.
