IV.阅读理解

(2014 .遂宁中考) When I was in the eighth grade,my teacher asked us to write an article about what we would like to do when we grew up. All I could think of was one sentence I want to help other people!Over the years,I met many difficulties and failures (失败) . But I never thought of giving up. I realized that to help other people I have to help myself first. I encouraged myself after I experienced failures,and I cheered for myself when I did well.

Finally,my dream really came true. I found a part-time job in a charity. I began to spend my days doing things for people in need. I have a happy life. That doesn’t mean that this kind of life is easy,or that my work is always enjoyable. I am happy because I am doing what I want to do.

(2014 •淮安中考) Years ago,while I lived in England,part of my college task was to help the children with special needs.

I was chosen to 1 in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to 2 Nancy,a ten-year-old girl. One of 3 hands could not move. At her school the teachers would think it was an achievement 4 she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in her. She had always wanted to put a string 5 the hole of a key.

For the 5 years Nancy was in the school,the teachers always 6 to help her,but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do 7 ，so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very 8 . Sometimes I wanted to give up,too. 9,after a week Nancy was able to do 10 she had wanted to do alone for so many years. Her teachers cried 11 when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.

Disabled people should 12 be told they can't do this or that,with just some encouragement they can do it. The look 13 that girl's face when she was able to do it herself meant 14 to me. I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves 15 telling them they can't do it.
