I was born an albino(白化病人) in Pennsylvania in 1945. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was and what it (35) to be albino.
My family and friends never treated me as (36) else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when troubles came along, I could (37) them.

Kids would make fun of me, calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip(尖) of my (39) so that I could see it well enough. Even when I was eight, movie-theater workers started asking me to pay full price because I “looked (40).”
The worst part for me was that (41) my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well. I didn’t (42) trying, though. I shot hoops(篮球框) every day. And I studied hard.
Finally, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college, I was double majoring(专业), going to summer school and (43) myself with every activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a good word. And I decided to make my (44) with my eyes—and in sports.
I couldn’t see very well to play sports, but with a solid education and a drive to do it, I could make a living involved in the area I loved. I’ve done it now for over thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace（网络空间）. People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know, but the jokes are of goodwill. Some of them are the signs of (45).

查看习题详情和答案>>11 bikes of my family had been stolen (被偷了).
I think it is funny, like my family has become a small shop giving out bikes for free. The number of
missing bikes is growing, so I can't help worrying. Is there someone who is crazy about my family's
bikes? Maybe he minks our bikes are the most beautiful ones around.
I often leave my bike somewhere and return to find that it has disappeared. Nobody knows where the
missing bike has gone as if it has grown wings and flown away.
One day last year, I locked my bike near our flat and went upstairs to get something. Thirty minutes
later, it was gone. My mum happened (碰巧) to see it on the street recently, but it was no longer mine.
The thief bad sold it to someone else. I really hate the thieves.

jobs and need money to support their families. But what they do really hurts others. Nobody has the right
(权利) to hurt others for his own sake.
Everyone in the world is connected. One person's action can have a great effect on another's life. I
wish the thieves would stop taking my family's bikes. I wish the thieves would stop hurting my family.
