My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other    , including her “sixth sense”,   she rarely gives the impression she’s missed anything.

  Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn’t push too hard on them, who really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, she moves around so fast that often the    don't realize she's blind.

  I realize this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   excited about her finger-painting project.

  “Mom, guess what?”said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to      colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle      with us.”

  To my great      my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!

  Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my       showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really      what I was doing!’’ Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt      Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

  I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation.

  When I told her, she was      for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla     . And I knew my child was      because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's pride in her work.

  We were silent for a minute.Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my      .’’ Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.

Last Friday, after doing all family  36  in town, I wanted a rest  37  catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the   38  coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long   39  to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to  40  a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next   41  . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters,  42  dark glasses and worn clothes, and   43  colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did   44  me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.

Naturally, I was unhappy. However, to avoid   45  —and really I was rather  46 

about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me  47  , then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could        

48  believe it.   49  I didn’t dare to make an argument(争论). When he took a   50  piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece”. And I got it.

The boy   51  me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This  52    is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing（令人难堪的）enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to  53  . My face went red—as red as his hair—when I    54  I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just   55  my newspaper.
