On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a 38 . When he woke up the next morning, 39 was perfectly clean and tidy.

But now Ricky couldn’t 40 his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two items didn’t 41 , and the same was starting to happen with other things. 42 the butler robot, Ricky thought of a plan to 43 on it, and finally caught it red-handed (正在作案的), picking up one of his toys to “ 44 ” it.

He told his parents that the butler was 45 and asked them to have it 46 . But his parents didn’t believe him at all for they were 47 with the butler for its good service. Ricky kept on telling them how much good stuff the butler was hiding, until one day the butler heard the boy’s 48. Then it returned some of the boy’s toys and clothes to him.

“Here, sir. I did not know it was 49 you,” said the butler.

“How could it not, you thief?! You’ve been stealing my stuff for weeks!” the boy answered 50. “The objects were left on the floor; 51 I thought that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not 52 , and at night I send them to those who can use them. I’m a highly efficient machine,” the bulter said.

Ricky started feeling 53 . Since then, Ricky decided to put real 54 into how he treated his things. He also often bought things and took them to help out those who are 55 -- along with his good friend, the butler of course.

　　His parents insisted that he was a fighter．He’d get through this and go on to attend Dartmouth．But meanwhile, immobile and on a ventilator(呼吸器), how was he going to ask questions or be involved in his care?

　　After treatment he showed improvement and soon he could move his toes, his legs and then his arms．

　　Mark has graduated from Dartmouth．I saw him in my office some time ago, and he was feeling great．But there was a lot left unsaid．I wanted to say I was in awe of him, and that his parents were some of the most amazing people I’d ever met, sitting by his bed for hours, patiently listening to their child speak letter by letter．I wanted to tell him of my shame when my children tried to talk to me and I brushed them off because I didn’t have time to listen．I wanted to say I’d never forget him or his parents．But words failed me．

I was born an albino．No one in my family had ever known what an albino was，what it meant to be an albino，and what had to be done differently because I was an albino．

My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else．That was just about the best thing they could have done．It helped me trust myself，so when the annoyances came along，I could deal with them．

True，my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes．Kids would tease me，asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”．Like most albinos，I had terrible eyesight，and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better．People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read．Even when I was eight or nine．movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”．

The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad，I couldn’t play sports very well．I didn’t give up trying，though．And I studied harder．

Eventually，I got better at school and loved it．By the time I got to college 1 was double majoring，going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extracurricular activity I could find．I had learned to be proud of being an albino．I did my best to make “albino” a positive word．And I decided to make my living with my eyes．

I couldn’t see well enough to play spots，but with a solid education and the drive to do it．I could make a living involved in the field I loved．I’ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video，and now in cyberspace．People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know，but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect．And I make jokes about being an albino．

I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania．I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties，gain confidence，and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments．

A．Someone with bad eyesight． B．Someone with some kind of disease．
