  He is a mute.Although he can understand others' speech, he cannot say his own actual feeling.She is his neighbor, calling him brother.The girl who is bound by a common destiny with her grandmother.

  He really looks like an elder brother, leading her to go to school, accompanying her to play, and listening to her chirp with a smile.He only uses the hand signal.Possibly she is able to read his each look.Gazing at the vision from elder brother, she knows he likes her.

  Afterwards, She finally passed the tests and went to college.Extremely happy, He then started to go out to make money, and continuously sent money to her.She did not rejected.

  Finally, She graduated and started the work.Then, she said firmly to him that,“Elder brother, I must marry you!”He looked like only the frightened rabbit to escape, unwilling to see her again, no matter how she begged him.

  Do you think I pity you?Do you think I appreciate you?No, I've fallen in love with you since I was 12.But she can not obtain his reply.

  One day, She was admitted to the hospital suddenly.He was scared, running to see her.Doctor said, in her throat was a lump(肿块)and although excised(切除),it destroyed the vocal cord(声带).Possibly she could not deliver the speech again.On hospital bed, her tearful eyes gazed at him.Therefore they married.

  For many years, nobody hears them deliver a speech.They use the hand and the look to converse.They share joy and sadness.They love each other and become the object which the men and women envied.The people said,“that pair of happy mute husband and wife!”Love could not prevent god of death arrival.He abandoned her to walk first.

  People feared she couldn't undergo the attack and went to comfort her.But She opened her mouth to say suddenly that,“He walked.”

  As I walked across the campus of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather.  1   Trilogy, an Austin, Texas-based software company, had a reputation for recruiting(招聘)our top students.I walked over to the table.“Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked.“No,” they replied firmly.“We're not recruiters.We're just hanging out with friends.” How interesting, I thought.They've come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with friends.

  I noticed one member of the group sitting on the grass, having multicolored hair, full-body tattoos(纹身), and multiple holes in his ears.  2   But as I would later learn, he was a gifted student who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their departments.What a change from my own college days, when students would put on their dressy clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that they could fit in with the company.  3   In fact, the guy I met on the campus just signed on with Trilogy, right at that table on the grass, with the recruiters who do not “recruit.”

    4   I once asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Texas.The company is excellent, he told me.There are also terrific people and the work is challenging.Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburgh's high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the lifestyle options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him.

    5   He is a member of what I call the creative class:a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid part of the workforce.They do not consciously think of themselves as a class.Yet they share a common attitude that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage.

A.An obvious lazy guy avoiding work, I thought.

B.As he summed it up," How would I fit in here?"

C.Some of them are the top students in the university.

D.Today, apparently, it's the company trying to fit in with the students.

E.While I was interested in the change, something even bigger struck me.

F.Several had identical blue T-shirts with "Trilogy @ CMU" written across them.

G.This young man represents a lively new force in the economy and life of America.

完形填空

  Often, I wonder why people like Michael Jordan and O.J.Simpson are considered heroes.People will say that Jordan and Simpson are heroes because they are good   1   to young people.They are two incredibly gifted men who play their   2   sports with tremendous heart and determination.They have shown   3   and personality at all times on and off the court and they’ve   4   millions of people.Mentioned as well will be that Jordan is basketball’s greatest player, and Simpson   5   among the greatest running backs in football history.However, the question remains, are they really heroes?

  Perhaps Jordan is a hero because he has an incredible gambling   6   losing up to two million dollars per day.And he has repeatedly stated that   7   he is the National Basketball Association’s highest paid player in 1997 he will retire permanently.

  For years O.J.Simpson was known as the“Greatest American Hero”.And people of all ages   8   with him and idolized him.He was the greatest running back to ever play for the Buffalo Bills and became an instant movie star.  9  , it took two brutal murders, and a few 911 tapes to show the country   10   our hero really was.He is a wife beater and an accused murderer.  11   being acquitted(宣告无罪)for double murder, he has done nothing but attempt to   12   selling infomercials.

  Jordan and Simpson are not   13   role models.They are past and present athletes who have used their   14   abilities to become national superstars.  15   people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him.This is   16   parents would tell their children that these athletes can be   17   for their exceptional talent in sports, but   18   they live their lives   19   the court is what separates them from   20   heroes.
