     I used to hate myself because I wasn"t "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on
a bicycle, but not   1 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew l would always be much   2
than others. I hated going to school and hated people   3   at me.
     I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing   4   and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   5
and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
    My friends found me   6   because I didn"t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like
this for the rest of my life   7   Angela appeared.
     That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school-a spot where no one would   8   me. That"s
when I first heard her voice.
     "Hi. Can I sit down?"
     I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
     "What are you looking at?" she asked.
     "Ants."
     "What are they doing?"
     "No   9  ."
     "I bet they"re playing games and Making friends. Don"t you think so?"
     That was how our  10  started and it didn"t stop. We talked about everything under the sun-the ants, the
clouds, my little niche (处境)-until it was sunset.
     Then suddenly, she saw my  11 . She just stared.
     My heart  12 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would  13  me now.
     She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know  14  your back is hunched."
     I closed my eyes like a crimiml waiting to be  15 . I begged in my heart for her to  16 , but she just kept on
going. "I know what you"ve got in there. Do you?"
     "No," I answered  17 .
     She bent and whispered in my ears.
     "Your back is hunched because you"ve got a pair of wings from the angels."
     I was  18 . I looked into her eyes and her  19  touched my heart. From that day on, I started to leam to  20
myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

                                                                 The Pillow
     At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my First volunteer project in
West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovcrcd that "our family" was living in a trailer (拖车) that
was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one
problem, another surfaced.
     We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house-something unusual but necessary
under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet
with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
     On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family"s three boys, Josh, Eric and
Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask
for, we were astonished when Josh respondcd, "I just want a bed."
     The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting
and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night.a few adults in our group drove to the
nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
     When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain
ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
     That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too
dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
     As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"
     "A pillow," he replied.
     "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask. "When you go to sleep, you put your head on it, "I
answered softly. Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow.
     "Oh-that"s soft," he said, hugging it tightly.
     Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, "Do you
have a pillow?" We know exactly what he means.

1. The writer"s first volunteer project was _____.

[ ]

A. working on a poor trailer

D. dealing with a housing problem

3. From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen _____ before.

[ ]

A. a trailer
B. a truck
C. a pillow
D. a house

4. By saying "Do you have a pillow?", the writer"s father means that _____.

[ ]

A. what they want to get may be unnecessary
B. they should not waste money on small things
C. they should do more volunteer work for the poor
D. what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow

     Nearly two decades has passed, I still remember my favourite professor, James Schwartz. Whenever he
smiles, it"s as if you"d just been told the funniest joke on earth. Almost all his students are his friends, and
almost all his students know his life story.
     When James was a teenager, his father   1   him to a fur factory where he worked. This was during the
Great Depression. The   2   was to get James a job.
     He entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the   3   had closed in around him. The room was dark
and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the   4   were packed tightly together, running like trains. The
fur hairs were flying,   5   a thickened air, and the workers,   6   the pieces of fur together, were bent over
their needles   7   the boss marched up and down the rows, searching for them to go faster. James could
hardly   8 . He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn"t   9   at him, too.
     During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,  10  if there was
any work for his son. But  11  there was barely enough  12  for the adult labours, for no one would give it
up once he takes a job.
     Thus, for James, it was a  13 . He hated the place. He made a  14  that he kept to the end of his life: he
would never do any work that brought  15  to someone else, and he would never allow himself to  16  money
off the sweat of others.
     "What will you do?" his mother, Eva, would ask him.
     "I don"t know," he  17  say. He ruled out law, because he didn"t like  18 , and he ruled out medicine, because
he couldn"t take the  19  of blood.
     "What will you do?"
       20 , my best professor I ever had became a teacher because he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

     Eddie"s father used to say he"d spent so many years by the ocean, breathing seawater. Now, away from
that ocean, in the hospital bed, his body began to look like a beached fish. His condition went from fair to
stable and from stable to serious. Friends went from saying, "He"ll be home in a day," to "He"ll be home in
a week" In his father"s absence, Eddie helped out at the pier (码头), working evenings after his taxi job.
     When Eddie was a teenager, if he ever complained or seemed bored with the pier, his father would shout,
"What? This isn"t good enough for you?" And later, when he"d suggested Eddie take a job there after high
school, Eddie almost laughed, and his father again said, "What? This isn"t good enough for you?" And before
Eddie went to war, when he"d talked of marrying Marguerite and becoming an engineer, his father said,
"What? This isn"t good enough for you?"
     And now, regardless of all that, here he was, at the pier, doing his father"s labor.
     Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on They move away. It is
not until much later, as the heart weakens, that children understand: their stories, and all their accomplishments,
sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.
     Finally, one night, at his mother"s urging, Eddie visited the hospital. He entered the room slowly. His father,
who for years had refused to speak to Eddie, now lacked the strength to even try.
     "Don"t sweat it, kid," the other workers told him "Your old man will pull through. He"s the toughest man
we"ve ever seen."
     When the news came that his father had died, Eddie felt the emptiest kind of anger, the kind that circles
in its cage.
     In the weeks that followed, Eddie"s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he
were still there. She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two. One night, when
Eddie offered to help with"the dishes, she said, "Your father will put them away." Eddie put a hand on her
shoulder. "Ma," he said, softly, "Dad"s gone."
     "Gone where?"
