I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and 36 asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not 37 them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step 38 on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I 39 something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been 40 to a lamppost. This was just one of the 41 things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop 42 passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated 43 I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would 44 a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to 45 my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
46 on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them 47 making a fool of myself. I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.

A Love Note to My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T台展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling 36 in your life. Little did I know you were 37 every penny you earned to go to 38 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 39 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried 40 piles of law books. I was 41 . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 42 ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms 43 be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept 44 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 45 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 46 and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you 47 . With your words of wisdom in my 48 mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 49 . I set out to live my life filled with 50 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I 51 found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 52 one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 53 , I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 54 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 55 it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but 36 is the window for me?
I am not disappointed, just a little worried 37 as my roommate said, “ Why are you angry with yourself once you 38 to do anything?” I have no idea. I just can’t 39 me if I can’t understand some easy things. Currently, I just feel__ 40 _with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment on the lab, and what was 41 worse was that actually I did not understand what the 42 was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t 43 for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel 44 .
Before I came here I was confident. But I have totally lost it. Sometimes I can’t__ 45 find the right words; sometimes I am too shy to 46 others. I have to admit that I am 47 .
The wisest people are always 48 who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and 49 a lot of time soaking inside the workbook, 50 made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am 51 to get help the next time I have any questions. I can 52 I am not smart, but I shouldn’t hide it. I must 53 it as soon as possible. 54 I will have to waste much more time on it—just like tonight.
Difficulties always go with me. Go 55 ! I can make it.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people"s rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
小题1:A friend of the writer"s drew the horses ____. | A．very well | | B．in the way of western rule | | C．in the way of his own rule | | D．all of the above |
小题2:The writer was surprised because ____. | A．the artist began to draw at the head of the horse | | B．the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse | | C．the artist made his own rule | | D．the artist did not follow other people"s rule |
小题3:You are not yet experienced because ____. | A．you don"t know where to begin | | B．you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail | | C．you always asked question | | D．you do not trust to your own powers |
小题4:when you become more experienced you will ____. | A．never ask question | | B．often begin at the tail | | C．should write the end of the story | | D．should think of the beginning |
小题5:The topic of the passage is | A．How to draw a horse | | B．How to write a story | | C．How to make your own rules | | D．Trust to your own powers |

My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents．It has taken many years of 36 my confidence to be able to do that．
I didn’t 37 how short I was until I started school．As time went on，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be 38 my whole life．I was determined to make my 39 an advantage rather than a disadvantage．My friends became increasingly 40 . They’d help me up the bus steps．If people were cruel，they would take them aside and 41 them．
42 I lacked in height，I 43 in personality my ability to laugh，even at myself．For example，one time I was 44 the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes．I fell 45 in and yelled for Mother，who was sitting nearby reading the paper．Watching feet 46 everywhere，she laughed and said，“I should leave you in there.” I 47 her．
I’m 47 now，and the 48 have not reduced as I’ve grown older．People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse．They look 49 when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side．During those times，I try to keep a good 50 . When people are rude，I 51 myself，“Look what else I have --a great family，nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my life 52 ．“Why are you so short? How old are you? Are you a mommy?” When I talk with children，they are left 53 that their questions have been answered．My hope is that in taking time with them，I will 54 them to accept their peers，whatever size and shape they come in， 55 treat them with respect．
