完形填空。     Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I
prefer that students begin at an earlier age, but Robby said that it had always been his mother"s dream to
hear him play the piano.. So I took him as a  1 .
     2 Robby tried very hard, he didn"t have the basic sense of music. However, he continued and at the
end of each weekly lesson he would always say, "My mom"s going to  3 me play some day. "But it seemed
4 .
     I only knew his mother from far away as she  5 Robby off or waited in her old car to pick him up.
She always waved and smiled but  6 stopped in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. He  7
me and said his mother was sick.
     Several weeks later I was preparing my students for the music show when Robby came and asked me if
he could be in it. "Miss Hondorf.… .I"ve just got to  8 " he said. The night for the show came. The high
school gym was full of parents, friends and relations. The show went off well. Then Robby came up on stage
(舞台). I was  9  when he announced that he had chosen Mozart"s Concerto No.21 in C Major. I was not
prepared for what I heard next. His  10  were light on the keys.  11  even danced on the keys... He played so
well that everyone was on their feet clapping excitedly.In tears I ran up on stage, "Oh, Robby! How"d you

     You can probably all ride a bike well. I"m an exception (例外).
     I started riding a   1   when I was a small kid. It was a tiny toy bike with four wheels (轮子). I loved it very
much and rode it every day.
     When I was 5, my cousin gave me a pink bike. It was a   2   bicycle with just two wheels! At the time, my
parents always leave early in the moming and get back late in the afternoon. They were too   3   to teach me how
to ride it. So I had to learn by myself.
     I   4   hard on weekends and during vacations. Gradually I learned how to ride.   5   I still didn"t know how
to make turns.
     One summer vacation, I borrowed an old bike and rode it with my friends on a country road. We sang and
practiced our riding skills.   6 , a small boy ran into the road. I was shocked (震惊) and couldn"t   7 the bike
at all. My bike crashed into the   8   and he fell. He didn"t get very seriously hurt, but he cried loudly. The boy"s
grandma ran out and pushed me over into the bushes. She was too angry to   9   my apology (道歉). My cousin
appeared five minutes later and saved me from the mess. But the  10  scared (使受惊) me: I no longer dared to
ride a bike. Then, last year, Hangzhou started to offer free bikes. My mother tried to teach me how to ride. After
practicing in the yard for two days, I tried to ride on the road. The traffic made me so  11  that I had to ride really
slowly.
     But I"m not going to  12 . One day, believe me, you"d see me riding a bike like a professional in a small alley or
big street.

     I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard the young voice.
     "Mom, come here! There"s this lady here my size!"
     The mother rushed to her son; then she tumed to me to say "sorry".
     I smiled and told her, "It"s okay." Then I talked to the boy, "Hi, I"m Darryl Kramer. How are you?"
     He studied me from head to toe, and asked, "Are you a little mommy?"
     "Yes, I have a son," I answered.
     "Why are you so little?" he asked.
     "It"s the way I was bom," I said, "some people are little. Some are tall. I"m just not going to grow any
bigger." After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy"s hand, and left.
     My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I
look different from their parents. I stand 114 cm tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite
this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
    I didn"t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names (辱骂
我). Then I knew I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always look fixedly
at me as I tried hard to climb the school bus stairs.
     But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make
my uniqueness (与众不同) an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked (缺少) in height, I made
up for in personality.
     I"m 47 now,and people are surprised when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people
are not polite enough, I say to myself, "Look what else I have-a great family, nice friends."
     It"s the children"s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that,
I will encourage them to accept the persons around them, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat
them in a friendly way.

1. Did the writer answer the little boy"s questions in the supermarket?
    ______________________________________________________________________
2. How tall is the writer?
    ______________________________________________________________________
3. When did the writer realize how short she was?
    ______________________________________________________________________
4. What did the writer want to teach the children when she answered their questions?
    ______________________________________________________________________
5. What is the writer"s attitude to her life?

     Christmas is for giving and sharing, for getting together with family and friends. But mostly it"s for love.
I had not believed this until a student, who was called Mark, gave me a wonderful gift one Christmas.

however, Mark failed to stay after school each day. I  5 him one aftemoon and asked why he no longer helped
me in the room."I was making you a  6 ," he said confidently (有信心地) in a low voice. "It"s for Christmas."
With that, he left the room in a hurry. He didn"t stay after school any more after that. Finally  7 the last
school day before Christmas. Mark walked slowly into the room late that aftemoon."I have a present," he said.
"I hope you like it." He held out his hand, and in it wasa tiny wooden box. "It"s beautiful, Mark. What"s in it?"
I asked, opening the top to look  8 . "Oh, you can"t see it," he replied," and you can"t touch it, or taste it or feel
it, but mother always said it makes you feel good all the time, warm on cold nights, and safe when you"re  9 .

     I watched as my little brother was caught in the act. He was sitting in the comer of the living room, a   1
in one hand and my father"s hymnbook (赞美诗集) in the other.
     As my father walked into the room, my brother cowered slightly (轻微地畏缩). He sensed that he had done
something   2 . I could see that he had   3   my father"s new hymnal and scribbled (乱涂) in it. Now he was
waiting for his punishment.
     For my father, books were knowledge. They were important to him. And yet he loved his children. What he
did next was   4 . Instead of punishing my brother, he sat down, took the pen from my brother"s hand, and then
wrote in the book himself, alongside the scribbles John had made:"  5    work,1959, age 2. How many times have
I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm eyes looking up at me and   6   Cod for the one who has
now scribbled in my new hymnal. You have made the book sacred (神圣的), as have your brother and sister."
     "Wow," I thought. "This is   7 ?"
     The years and the books came and went. Our family experienced what all families go through and perhaps a
little bit more. But we always knew our parents   8   us and that one of the proofs (证明) of their love was the
hymnal by the piano.
     Dad taught us about   9   really matters in life: people,not objects; tolerance (宽容), not judgment; love, not
anger. Now I, too, am a father. But unlike my father,l do not wait for my daughters  10  to take books from my
bookshelf and scribble in them. From time to time I take one down, and give it to one of my  11  to scribble in.
And as I look at their artwork, I think about my father and the  12  he taught me.
