阅读理解。     One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to
the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that
she feared.
     Her mother said, "Don"t be afraid, honey. Take courage!"
     "What"s courage?" she asked, running to her mother"s bed.
     "Courage is the brave breath," her mother answered.
     "Mum, do you have courage?"
     "Certainly."
    The girl held out her little hands, saying, "Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me."
     After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her
fists (握拳) nervously, afraid that the"breath of courage" would run away. Then with her fists clenched,
she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
     Her mother said to herself,"It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of "breath" to me. Then I can
hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost."
     In fact, mostly, what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind. Who we should defeat
(战胜) is nobody but ourselves. 1. The girl walked back because ______. [     ]
A. the bathroom was too far away
B. her mother wouldn"t go with her
C. she was too afraid of the dark

阅读理解。     He was struggling (费劲) to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him.
     I did, and he was grateful.
     "Thank you," he said.
     "I"m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach," I said.
      He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were
twisted (扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn"t do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He
always managed to look up to see how you reacted (反应) to his words, however. He had a big
smile, making me feel comfortable.
     I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
     " Nice shoes," he said.
     "Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before," I said.
     "No one has the same view of the world as I do," he replied.
     "Tell me about the world as you see it," I said smiling.
     "Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their
feet." he said."If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they"re impatient
with me. I don"t want to make people uncomfortable.
    "What about me? I asked.
     "I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was
nervous." he said. "I don"t normally have someone look me in the eye."
    "They don"t know what they"re missing," I told him.
     "My old face is nothing to brag (自夸) about." he said.
