If You’re Not Dead，You Can Get Better

　　Randy Kraus was paralyzed (瘫痪)．His left side was useless．But his right hand was　　1　　enough to lift a bucket to his forehead．Once，he’d been a police officer and owned a private－eye agency．Once，he’d been strong and able．Now，he felt he was nothing．

　　His　　2　　started with Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease，but it didn’t 　　3　　 there．In July 2002，the 60－year－old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation to control the shaking．　　4　　，during the operation，he had a stroke (中风)．He was paralyzed．The　　5　　man，who loved golf，could think，but couldn’t　　6　　．Kraus wanted the doctors to 　　7　　 it to him straight．“You may never walk again，” they told him．“Maybe you won’t　　8　　be able to talk．”

　　Once home，he　　9　　he couldn’t lift a fork or take a drink by himself．Physical treatment was so painful and slow．What did he have to　　10　　for? So now Kraus held the gun against his head．　　11　　the cold metal on his skin，he began to consider not his pain，but the pain he　　12　　cause his wife，daughters and grandchildren．He didn’t pull the trigger (扳机)．

　　“You are where you are”，his exercise physiologist (生理学者)，Andrew Garud told him．“The pace (进度) would be slow；the pain would be　　13　　．But as long as you are 　　14　　，you have the ability to get better．” After three months of　　15　　with Garud，Kraus wanted to see if he could　　16　　．He could．Then he took three steps，sat down and cried like a baby．One step　　17　　to another．Next he managed a short walk．It was the hardest　　18　　of Kraus’s life．

　　Garud kept saying he could　　19　　more．Now，Kraus can brush his teeth，shave himself and get around the house with a walker．Little success only the paralyzed can　　20　　understand．

完形填空

　　What are the basic elements of good manners?Certainly a strong sense of justice is one；courtesy(礼貌)is often 　　1　　 more than a highly developed sense of fair play．A friend of mine once told me of 　　2　　 along one-lane(单行道), unpaved mountain road．　　3　　 was another car that produced clouds of choking 　　4　　,and it was a long way to the nearest 　　5　　 highway．Suddenly, at a 　　6　　 place, the car ahead pulled off the road．　　7　　 that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if anything was wrong．“　　8　　,”said the other driver．"But you’ve endured my dust this far； I’ll 　　9　　 with yours the rest of the way．”

　　Another element of courtesy is empathy(善解人意)，a 　　10　　 that enables a person to see into the mind or heart of someone else，to understand the pain or 　　11　　 there and to do something to minimize it．A man 　　12　　 alone in a restaurant was trying to unscrew(旋松)the cap of a beer bottle, 　　13　　 he couldn’t do it because of badly injured 　　14　　．He asked a young busboy to help him．The boy took the bottle, turned his back 　　15　　 and loosened the cap without difficulty．Then he 　　16　　 it again．Turning back to the man，he 　　17　　 to make great efforts to open the bottle without success．　　18　　 he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly，saying that he had managed to loosen it-but only with a pair of pliers(钳子)．

　　Yet another component of politeness is the ability to treat all people 　　19　　, regardless of all status or importance．　　20　　 when you have doubts about some people，act as if they are worthy of your best manners．You may also be astonished to find out that they really are．

　　Courtesy is the key to a happier world．
