"Two books per visit per week,"said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card.
Neither the limits nor her attitude __1__ me, a 9yearold Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in
the 1950s.I needed those visits.The books were filled with stories in which, however__2__
things seemed, everything__3__ well in the end, __4__ justice, bravery, and wisdom-a
striking contrast (对比) to my everyday experiences.
Thirty years later, I, a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13, stood in front
of another librarian.This librarian was__5__.
"What did she say?" I asked my daughter, who already knew a little English and often
__6__as my interpreter.
"She said "Can I help you?""
"Ask if they have any books in__7__," I requested.
"No, they don"t." translated my daughter.
While hunting for a job, I was told that the library needed people to__8__ books.The
interview was short－the job didn"t require much English, just a__9__ of the alphabet.I started
the next day.Every day, I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was__10__ from me,
mentally dividing them by size and color. One day, while shelving, I found English for
Beginners and began studying it on my own.__11__ English letters started forming words
I could__12__, words combined into phrases, and-oh,__13__!-I was reading.It was a slow
process, supported by dictionaries and __14__ by tears, but it was progress.Afterwards I got
promoted to the front desk-__15__ books in and out and answering simple questions.
Every day I receive dozens of people.Sometimes I spot new immigrants.They come from
all over the world, so they look different, but the hesitant expression on their faces and their
__16__ manners are similar.My heart goes out to them,__17__ they are people like me.I fully
understand the __18__roads on which they have stepped."They"ve come to the right place," I
think to__19__.Then I smile and say-just the__20__ a librarian said to me a long time ago "
Can I help you?"

young man came to the United States in 1975, where he studied for a Master"s in Arts. Although
studying took up much of his time, he traveled throughout the US and Canada climbing many
different types of rock walls. Thus, he made friends with many people with the same interest.
However, on Thanksgiving Day in 1979, a car driven by a drunk driver lost control and
suddenly turned into his lane(车道), striking the head of his vehicle. The injuries to both of his
legs and feet resulted in the removal of one of his kneecaps(膝盖骨), and the amputation(截去
)of his right foot.
It wasn"t easy, but after some time, with great effort and strong will, Tom rebuilt his hope
for life. The report of his story moved the whole nation of America. Eventually he earned another
master"s degree and founded the Cooperative Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group. This
program"s success sent Tom around the world to spread his message that "it is not the falling
down, but the getting back up that matters". He became a professor in Adventure Education
at Prescott College in Arizona, where he taught the top outdoor leadership program in the nation.
After 25 years of experience as a mountaineer, on May 27, 1998, Tom achieved his greatest
accomplishment so far:reaching the peak of Mt. Everest. Tom was actually the first person with
a disability to ever climb and stand on the peak of Mt. Everest. He realized that reaching the peak
of Mt. Everest could do nothing to change his disability, but it could do a lot to change attitudes.
Tom Whittaker wanted people to realize that disability is as much an attitude as it is a condition.

whole world had closed its door to him.
He was __5__ so fast that I couldn"t believe he was blind! But he continued to __6__: Five
years ago, I realized it was time to change my life.I had read about Helen Keller and understood
her life and __7__.So I developed a website about her life __8__ mine called Three Days to See.
I visited his website which was well produced and vividly __9__.
I asked, "How did you __10__ to build such a website?" He said,"Owing to the new technology,
I can use software specially __11__ for the blind. __12__ I point the cursor(光标), it will just read
it out to me.We can do far more things and __13__ more information than we could before."
I then asked, "Didn"t you have great difficulty with it?"
He hesitated and then began his __14__ with a smiling face," Yes, but I have faith in myself to
__15__ my colorful day. And modern technology gives me this __16__ to do it."
His __17__ attitude towards life made me believe that our destiny offers not the cup of despair,
__18__ the chalice (大杯) of opportunity. I returned to my lessons, and this time with a smile on my
face and with __19__ of a colorful future.
The Internet, which opened to me to __20__ different lives and cultures, has a charm you couldn"t
find in another wise nonvirtual world.

different from what I knew.My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a
"castle"．In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom.Soon I found
out that the "castle" was actually rather small in our neighborhood.
Everybody there was very friendly and polite.They greeted youwhen they were walking
by at least 3 feet away from you.They must not have seen a German au pair before,for most
people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany.I enjoyed answering their various
strange questions.I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.
Of course,there were a numbor of new things,and it took me the whole year to find them
all out.I never got homesick.Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative
(负面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.
However,I had undergone some painful experience back in Germany.I was frustrated
by the way people would run me over and not even say "Sorry." Taking up my studies at
the TUDresden I felt lonely.Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn(离群的)and I missed
ewerything I had in Cincinnati.Germany was so "cold"．I found it so much harder to make
new friends.After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends.I also flew back to
Cincinnati several times for long periods.I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.
Now I am over this German culture shock.It almost took me an entire year.I am still going
back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.

argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother
will push the conversation into World War ?.She"ll talk about m
y lack of a bright future because I don"t plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don"t want to do
any job related to science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major
(主修) in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can"t you be like my coworker"s son?" she bemoans all the time.Her coworker"s
son received a fouryear scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.
I don"t know what to answer except that I simply can"t be like Mr Perfect as I"ve called the
unnamed coworker"s son.I can"t be like him.I"m the type of person who loves to help out in
the community,write until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve a career
because I love it,not because of fame (名声) or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I"ve seen my mother
struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around
6﹕30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm.However,I want her to
know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn"t mean I"ll be successful.I"d rather follow my
dreams and create my own future.

The mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake.She was
covered by a destroyed house.Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins,the rescuers could see
her last posture (姿势)．It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing
(叩头),but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.
The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins.They
shouted at the ruins again and again,knocked the bricks using various tools,but no reply
inside.
Then the rescuing team went to the next building.Suddenly the leader ran back,calling
"Come here." He came to the body,put his hands under the woman,feeling and touching,t
hen shoutedloudly and gladly,"There is someone,a baby,still living."
Through some efforts,rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her.Under her body
lay her baby,who was covered by a small red quilt (棉被)．He was about 3 or 4 months"
old.Since well protected by his mother"s body,he was safe.He was in a deep sleep when
the rescuer carried him out,and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him.
The doctor,along with the rescuing team,took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby
was all right,and he found there was a mobile phone inthe quilt.The doctor looked at the
screen; a writtenmessage was already there:"My dear baby if you couldlive,don"t forget how
much I love you." As a doctor,he experienced much of this type of separation；but at this
moment,he cried.The mobile phone was passed,and every person who saw this message
shed (流出) tears.
