Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eyes of others.
There are those who   36    that since I can’t see, I obviously also cannot   37  . Very often people will talk with me at the top of their lungs. Conversely to this, people will also often   38  , assuming that since my eyes don’t work, my ears don’t either. For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for   39  to the plane, he or she will always pick up the phone and call a ground hostess in a very low voice. "Hi, Jane, wave got a 76 here." I have concluded that the word "  40  " is not used because they are unwilling to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously   41  .
On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can’t talk. Once I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after I was    42  , I was wheeled down to the X-ray room. Just at the door sat an elderly woman(judging from  her voice) asked the orderly(护工) who had been wheeling me:" What is your name?" “What’s your name?” the orderly   43   to me. "Harold Krents", I replied. "Harold Krents", he repeated. "When was he born?" "When were you born?"…This continued for about five minutes before I finally interrupted, "Look, this is absolutely  44   . OK, I can’t see, but it’s go to become pretty  45   to both of you that I don’t need an interpreter(翻译)." “He says he doesn’t  need an interpreter," the orderly reported to the woman. 　
The   46   misconception of all is the view that because I cant see, I can’t  47  . I was turned down by over forty law firms,   48   my qualifications included a cum laude degree from Harvard Law School. The  49  to find jobs, the continuous   50  of being told that it was impossible for a blind person to   51  law, the rejection letter, not based on my lack of   52  but rather on my disability, will always remain one of the most upsetting experiences of my life.
  53  , the Department of Labor issued laws that demand equal  54  opportunities for the disabled. The business community’s response has been   55  . The attitude towards the disabled is beginning to change.

He finally came up with $ 3.12. “I guess we will have to put them back,” he bravely said. “We will come back some other time, maybe tomorrow.” With that statement, a soft  45  broke from the little girl. “But    46   would have loved these shoes,” she cried.
“Well, we’ll go home and work some more. Don’t cry. We’ll surely   47  ,” he said. Quickly I handed $ 3.00 to the cashier. These children had waited in line for a long time. And,   48   , it was Christmas. Suddenly a pair of arms came around me and a small voice   49     said, “Thank you, lady.” “What did you  50  when you said Jesus would like the shoes?” I asked. The boy answered, “Our mommy is sick and going to   51   . Daddy said she might go before Christmas to be with Jesus.” The girl spoke, “My Sunday school teacher said the streets in heaven are shiny gold, just like these shoes. Won’t mommy be 52   walking on those streets in these shoes?”
My eyes  53  as I looked into her tear-stained face. “Yes,” I answered, “I am  54    she will.” Silently I thanked God for using these children to   55  me of the true spirit of giving I once was familiar with.

eBooks still some way away from students
Twelve-year-old Tang Yin is one of the earliest students to test a digital textbook in China. The boy said he was a little  11   when he received the monochromatic(单色的) flat device in April, 2010, because he thought it should be a “   12    cool” laptop. But Tan still cherishes(珍爱) his new equipment like “protecting my  13  ,” said the fifth grader. After all, not every student has the opportunity to  14   the eBook, which is worth $294 (￥2,000 yuan), he said.
The 50 eBooks,   15   by Taiwan eBook manufacturer Chuanqi Photoelectric Technology in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, enables one class at Yangzhou Sanyuanqiao Elementary School to be the   16   group of students in the Chinese mainland to replace their regular textbooks with   electronic ones. Out of 1000 students, Tang’s class was the lucky   17    .
“Our school could not   18   the project without the company’s donation,” said Yuan Shishan, vice-headmaster of the primary school.   19   the digital book is considered environmentally friendly, because it replaces paper books and saves money in the long run, the price is much higher than most Chinese   20   can afford. Also, some technical defects, the  21   of taking notes and monochromatic display, make the eBook fail to meet the expectations of students and teachers.
“There’s still a/an    22   way to go before the eBook really plays an important role in education,” said the headmaster.
According to Yuan, the annual average income of a   23    family in Yangzhou is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and neither the parents nor the school can afford the 2,000 yuan  24  book.
The school doesn’t allow the students to take their eBooks to their homes. The devices are  25   after class, and are locked in the headmaster’s office.

People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 36 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 37   ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all of these methods 38   , the person with a problem has to start analyzing . There are six 39 in analysing a problem.
40 ,  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 41 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 42 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 43 the parts that are wrong.

For example, suppose Sam 46 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 47    , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake. He immediately 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.
