If I had known earlier that there was a reason why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. I was writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people51 me.
Most people who52 university read at least twice as fast as I do. I've never known my left53 my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number54 . I hear that recording "The55 you have reached is not in service." more than any man on the earth.
In spite of my 56 I view dyslexia(朗读困难) as a gift, not something bad. Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, advanced thought, and that's what my kind of creating writing is. I' m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn't57 before. That' s my advantage.

I am also very good at observing. This means nothing in school, but when I62 books or scripts, I'm seeing everything in my63 .
I write 64 . I go like the wind and can65 up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the66 . I have no problem in downloading; it's inputting where things get jumbled(混乱).
The real67 I have for the dyslexics is not that they have to68 with jumbled input, but that they will give up before they finish school. Parents have to create victories69 they can, whether it' s music, sports or arts. You want your dyslexic child to be able to say, "Yeah, reading is70 . But I have other things I can do."

Then he saw an older man 41 up to the young woman, take off his sweater and place it on her 42 . The man said, “Here, keep the sweater. The 43 is even better when you’re warm.” She smiled her 44 and wrapped the warm sweater 45 her shoulders as the man went away.
Before the woman left, she found a middle-aged woman who was also 46 cold and she handed her the sweater. “47 it,” she said. “The view is even better when you’re warm.”
My friend was 48 in that, so he kept his eyes on the sweater. He noticed that before the current (现在的) 49 of the sweater left, she came near to a trembling (颤抖的) man, 50 it to him and said, “Here ... keep the sweater. The view is 51 better when you’re warm.”
“That happened a couple of years ago,” my friend said. “And as far as I know, that 52 is still on top of Casper Mountain, going from one person to another.”

Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
It’s December again. In addition to the excitement about 50 down to the holidays and parties. This month is also about long study hours for thousands of senior college students in China.
According to the Ministry of Education, the number of postgraduate 51 has risen again this year. The ministry has even 52 the enrollment dates to allow for the 53 applicants. However. I do not see the point of enrolling in postgraduate study 54 after college.
Postgraduate programs are 55 on specific fields and on advanced research and study. They also require 56 knowledge you can only gain from the workplace. If your goal is to gain more skills, you should try harder to find a job. Employers want 57 . not more qualifications. Otherwise, postgraduate study straight is a 58 of time and money.
Job applicants with a master’s degree often find that their competitors hold 59 qualifications.
Ten years ago, graduates with bachelor degrees had no problem finding employment, but authorities 60 the number of university places in 1999 and now where are millions of graduates without work.
It appears that postgraduate education will 61 this history of undergraduate education.
62 , the human resources staff faced with the choice between two applicants with masters degrees will usually choose the graduate from the more 63 undergraduate school. A bachelor’s degree from a key university is more helpful than a master’s degree sometimes.
If you don’t have working experience when you graduate, you will have the same problem even though you go on to 64 a master’s degree immediately.

When the heartbroken father returned and saw the dead son, he 44 his wife and said just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, “I 45 you, darling.”
The husband’s totally 46 reaction was positive. Their son could never be 47 back to life,so there was no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, this would not have happened 48 he had taken the time to put the bottle away.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 36 teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 37 the same things thousand and one times, do not 38 me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 39 you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 42 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you 43 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the 44 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 45 to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 46 I need to and when not. When my 47 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 48 , the same way I did when you gave your first 49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 50 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 51 my mistakes, I always wanted the 52 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me 53 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 54 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
