　　Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.

　　Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent（才能）at something else. For example, 15 years ago when Joey Hollingsworth entered kindergarten, teachers said that Joey was very clever. Once Joey started getting 12 , his grades got lower. Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline（纪律）problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.

　　Still many people believe kids like Joey who can't read or write are lazy. It's hard to understand that 15 a person doesn't look disabled, he can have problems with learning, and it's even harder for the 16 .

What actually happens when we read? Some people think that we read one word 　　1   ,

understand it and then go on to the next. Other people think that our eyes smoothly   2   over each line from left to right, then back to the beginning of the    3    line, and so on. In fact, the physical action of reading usually doesn’t work in    4    of those ways.

   5    you do this experiment with a friend. Get hold of a book with a large page

  6   and with lines that go right   7    the page.    8    your friend to    9    the book up and to read it with the top of the book just    10     his eyes level. This   11    that you can watch the movement of his eyes as he read the page. 　　12    you do this, you will see that your friend’s eyes do not make a continuous forward sweep.   13    they progress(前移) by little “jumps”, moving, then stopping, as they progress along the line.

   14    to be this starting and stopping movement    15    the eye can see only when it is not moving. Every time the eye    16     it sees a phrase or even a sentence, then jumps to the next part of the line, and so on.

There is another interesting fact about eye movement. You will notice that,    17    , the reader goes back and looks again at something he    18     before, in other words, he returns to an earlier part of the text probably because he    19    he is not understanding it properly. Then he comes back to    20     he stopped and continues reading.
