The nine-year-old boy was attracted by the sight of my father practicing martial arts the moment he walked into the gym. As my father threw speedy punches(出拳) into the 36 bag-yet was hardly able to move it-the boy walked slowly toward him.
My father, 37 of the boy’s stare, jammed a couple of sharp sidekicks into the bag to end his 38 . He picked up his towel, sat down on a nearby bench, and began 39 his face and hands.
“Hey, mister,” said the boy. My father 40 at the boy, bringing the towel down off his face and putting it around to the back of his neck. “Do you know karate or 41?” the boy asked.
“Actually, I know Tae Kwon Do,” my father answered.
“Cool. What 42 are you?”
“Black belt,” my father said. “You like martial arts?”
“Yeah, and I want to know if you can show me a 43!”said the kid. “Can you show me how to 44 someone?”
My father 45 for a moment before he said, “Come here.” and 46 with his hand for the boy to come 47. His expression was serious.
The kid took a couple of steps closer to my father. Looking slightly 48 .As the boy moved closer, my father quickly 49 his hand straight out, 50 stopped within an inch of the boy’s chest.
The boy, shocked, jumped back in clumsy 51, almost falling over himself. My father smiled, with his hand still outstretched in the boy’s direction. “Give me your 52,” my father said.
The boy inched forward again, 53. My father took his hand and began to shake it 54, as if the two of them had been old friends 55 each other.
“You know, kid,” my father said, “you’ll solve more problems with this move than with any other.

“A lot of learning comes through play,” says Mardy McGarry, 52, who has been a special education teacher for 28 years. But her students were too often left out. She had seen the wood chips and sand of traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks. When she wanted to build a playground for children with special needs,she knew it wouldn’t take long to develop interest in it around the small fishing village. But she never expected that 2,800 people — a third of the town—would all be willing to make a great effort to bring her vision to life.
McGarry started doing some research into play equipment and contacting design companies and she also found a piece of land available. When the city council(市议会) agreed to set aside an area for a playground, she also asked physical and professional therapists(治疗专家) for their investment. And she turned to her friend, Sue, for help. “Neither of us is good at maths, which is why $450,000 didn’t sound like a lot of money,” McGarry says of the initial estimate.
Her Kiwanis Club came through with $7,000,and that’s when the grassroots movement really got started. One woman gave $25,000 and had her company match it. Soon, smaller businesses were joining in. There was a silent effort to collect money. The local Pieper Family Foundation offered to donate half of the remaining $170,000. All McGarry needed was 500 volunteers to work six 12-hour days.
On September 16, 2008, the first day of construction, they came. Two women heard about the project on the way to work and took the day off to help. A couple in their 80s operated their tractors. Ten-year-olds cleared up the mess. “None of them was paid. It was truly an amazing week,” says McGarry. Only three building managers were paid. Volunteers with “building experience” became coordinators(协调人); those who could operate power tools formed a separate group. One team served meals donated from local restaurants and churches, and another organized activities for the children of volunteers.
Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County. All children, including the ones with special needs, play shoulder to shoulder. “Some playgrounds have special equipment in a different section. Here, you see all the kids in the same playground, all having fun.”
It’s exactly what McGarry imagined. “People used to ask, ‘Why do you want to build a playground just for children with disabilities?” She says, “It’s only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children.”
小题1: It didn’t occur to Mardy McGarry that __________.
A.her plan would soon draw the interest of people in the small village
B.so many people would volunteer to help her realize her dream
C.she would meet with so many difficulties in raising funds
D.the playground would be the most popular destination in Ozaukee County
小题2:We can learn from the fourth paragraph that __________.
A.the playground was finished in September 2008
B.everything was well prepared, apart from the volunteers
C.everyone worked unpaid, except for three building managers
D.the playground is so popular that it is overcrowded all the time
小题3:It can be inferred from the text that __________.
A.Mardy McGarry is a famous architect in the small town
B.Sue was forced to join in the project because of her son
C.people always ignore the real needs of disabled children
D.Mardy McGarry’s vision has been successfully accomplished at last
小题4:What would be the best title for this text?
A.Mardy McGarry: A Woman with Great Determination.
B.Cooperation: The Greatest Power in Overcoming Any Difficulty.
C.Show Real Concern for Poor Disabled Children.
D.Make it Matter to Build a Playground for Disabled Children.

I used to be a mortgage broker(贷款中间人) in the Phoenix area. In April 2007, the company that I had been with for a year went out of business. That was the latest of the four companies that I had worked for since 2000 .They all either went under or let most of the employees go, including me.
In December 2007, the bank took back my house, and I had no choice but to move in with my parents, five miles away. My sister has three children, and she had no room. My fiancée(未婚妻), Brandi Wetch, and I have been living in my parents’ house for about a year and a half now.
My mother, Sue, works part-time at a high school library. My father left for a job in the Marshall Islands a few months ago and will be gone for two years.
I’m trying to be patient with finding a new job, but it’s been hard. I check the Internet for jobs every morning. I have sent countless letters but have never got a job. I have no idea how many other people are applying for the same job.
I do the housework and washing, and I take care of the garden. Sometimes, I feel like the best part of my life is over. The worst part of the day is when I chat with my friends on the Internet. I’ve talked to about 10 old friends online. The first thing they usually ask is what I’m doing now.
My mother, who is in her 60s, has been so patient and supportive. She acts like she’s happy to have us, not like we’re crowding her. We have learned what’s important since I lived here.
