阅读理解。 Last year I went to an old-fashioned bar with Lisa and her mother. When it was my turn to order, I
had a problem. I was dyslexic (诵读困难的). I had difficulty reading words. I felt embarrassed
(尴尬的) about it and didn"t want others to know it. Every time in restaurants I pretended (假装) that I
could understand menus and ordered something that almost every restaurant could have. Luckily, I
succeeded every time. This time I did as usual. I had a look at the menu and asked for a dish of vanilla
ice cream. I thought it was safe. A place like this bar should have this kind of ice cream. But as soon as
Lisa heard me, she said, "Didn"t you read the menu? There isn"t any vanilla ice cream at all." After I heard
this, my face turned red. And I had to tell them the truth. "Dyslexia is quite common, Betty. My friend"s
daughter had this problem four years ago, but she is better now," Lisa"s mother said to me. Then she
passed me a business card and said, "Go to see this doctor! Believe me! He can help you." I am better
now. I understand that sometimes it isn"t the thing itself but what we have done that makes us embarrassed. I have learned to face my problems. I won"t escape (逃避) from them anymore.

rain. According to one of the newspapers, the woman is the head teacher of Hoping Primary School in

     "Each time I see students from other schools sitting and reading in a bright reading room, I feel sad. I

     Nadya Vessey was born with an illness and her legs would never grow. At the age of 16, both of her
legs below (低于) the knees were cut off. Nadya Vessey hasn"t let that destroy her. She recently
changed herself into a mermaid (美人鱼).
     It was a little boy that started Nadya"s change. One day a little boy saw her take off her prosthetic
(修复术的) legs and asked her why she didn"t have any legs. After thinking quickly, she asked him
whether he had heard of The Little Mermaid. He said "Yes", so Nadya told him that she was a mermaid. Nadya said, "He was surprised and said "wow, that"s cool" and ran off to tell his dad".
     The idea of a mermaid became clearer and clearer in Nadya"s mind. After thinking it over, she wrote
to the Weta Workshop two years ago, asking if they could make her a prosthetic tail (尾巴). She was
surprised to get the reply that they agreed. The Weta Workshop"s director was happy to make it happen
and wanted Nadya to be beautiful. It took the Weta Workshop two years to make a special suit for
Nadya. After practicing in the local swimming pool, Nadya went to the open sea and tried out her
mermaid suit. Nadya was pleased with it.
     It is really surprising. It"s wonderful to watch Nadya swim and to see her dream come true.
