When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin; I wasn't a good student; I talked too much; I was too __46__, and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father.

He listened to me  47  . Then he asked, "Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a   48   of what she said and find the __49__ that are true. "

I did as he told me. To my great __50_ . 1 discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin). But there were things 1 could and wanted to change. For the _51__ time, I got a clear  52  of myself.

I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it. "That's just for you." he said. "You know the truth about _53_ better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you, you should find it helpful. "

Our world is full of people who think they know your business. Don't _54_ and feel   55 . Listen to them.

Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He  46  that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach  47  students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.

First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to remember. Other letters, such as C, were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.

The  48  thing they learned was finger spelling. They signed one letter after  49  to spell a word. They started with two-letter words such as “at” and “on”. Then they spelled  50  words.

Finally, Mr. Klein showed that  51  one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word “fine”, a person spreads(张开) out the fingers on one hand, touches the thumb(拇指) to the chest(胸部), and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands, expressions on the face are also  52 . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions  53  the face.

When Inez entered the classroom, she looked  54 . But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez.” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful  55 !”
