I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard the young voice.
“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here like my !” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to . I smiled and told her: “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”
He me from head to toe, and asked: “Are you a little ? “Yes, I have a son,” I answered. “Why are you so little?” he asked.
“It’s the way I was ,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand, and left.
My life as a little person is filled with like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my . I stand 114 cm tall. I was born a dwarf（侏儒）. this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn’t how short I was until I started school. Some kids laughed at me. Then I began to the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and the fact that I was going to be my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I in personality.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not as I've grown older. People are when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are , I remind myself: “Look what else I have—a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children's questions that make my life . I enjoy answering their questions. My is that people will accept various peers（同龄人）, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with .

Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, although my husband and I sometimes sneak one late at night with a glass of milk. I believe that the success of this 31 lovedconcoction(混合物) lies not in the brand of peanut butter, 32 in the jelly. The right jelly 33 the palate, and homemade is the only choice.
My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family. This limited choice was a welcome 34 in the days of toddlers, siblings and puppies. All I did was to 35 baby food jars, which my mother-in-law would seal with wax(蜡) and 36 back home with us. 37 I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich , all I had to do was reach for one of little jars. Jelly making was just a way of 38 for my mother-in-law. She always did it, setting the 39 jelly on the shelves .
My father-in-law died several years ago and this past December, she also 40 . Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the 41 canned goods.
The other day I reached my pantry(储物间) for jelly for a quick sandwich. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly, whose lid was 42 in places. 43 on it were “GR” for grape and the year when the jelly was made.
As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had 44 to see earlier. This was the last jar we would ever have from the 45 , loving hands . We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at table without 46 about those thousands of little jars she had filled. It seems like such a small thing, and most days it was something that was 47 for granted.
No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family 48 . We have hundreds of pictures and many more memories that we expect to 49 the years and to pass on to our children. The jar of jelly won’t keep that long. It will either have to be eaten or 50 ...but not today.

People do not analyze every problem they meet．Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 36 problem．They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people．Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error． 37 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing．There are six 38 in analyzing a problem．
First the person must recognize that there is a problem．For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does．Sam must 39 that there is a problem with his bicycle．
Next the person must 40 the problem．Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work．For example, he must 41 the parts that are wrong．
Now the person must look for 42 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 43 solutions．For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes． 44 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 45 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully．
After 46 the problem, the person should have 47 suggestions for a possible solution．Take Sam as an example 48 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones．
In the end, one 49 seems to be the solution to the problem．Sometimes the 50 idea comes quite 51 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 52 way．Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum（口香糖）stuck to a brake．He 53 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 54 the brake．
Finally the solution is 55 ．Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly．In short, he has solved the problem．
