      It was a sunny winter day. I gone down the tower when a blind man came toward me. He kept close
to the wall, touching it lightly with his arm. I stood still and looked at him walking toward the tower.
    "What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for7" I wondered. " Not the view ( 景色) certainly,
perhaps he wants to jump. " Thinking of this terrible reason, I thought I should follow him.
     He went up slowly and stopped from time to time.l followed him a few steps behind. When he got to the
first corner of the bell tower, I came close to him. " Excuse me," I said as politely as I could, "but I wonder
why you came up. "
    "You"d never guess," he said.
    " Not the view or the fresh air on this winter day?"
      "No," he said. "Tell me, then.
      " He smiled, " Perhaps climbing up the tower. You have noticed-and yet, not being blind, perhaps you
won"t how the sun shines into the tower through the windows here and there, so that one can feel the cool
steps suddenly become quite warm, even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade (阴影). There is no place
so good as this for feeling the difference between light and darkness. Though I"m blind, I also want to feel the
happiness brought by the sunlight. In fact, .it isn"t my first time to be here. " He said and seemed as pleased as
a child.
     I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to enjoy the beautiful life. But we often paid
no attention to its value because we never lost it.
    We went down the tower together and I left him. From then on, I began to treasure what life has given me.

     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?

     I had not  2 Mark especially until he began staying after class each day to help me tidy up the room. We
did this quietly, not speaking much, but enjoying the time of the day. When we did talk, Mark spoke mostly
of his  3 , who had alwaya spent much time with him before she passed away.  4 Christmas came near,
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 .
