跳跃A Leap() is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it. 平衡木Leaping on a narrow balance beam(for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she 1To perfect her skills, Lola

finished seventh out of 16 girls.

That's especially impressive, 2she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift(移动) constantly. She often sees double and can't 3how far away things are.

When she was little, her mom4that even though she couldn't see 5, she was fearless. So her mom

signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 6right away and gymnastics became her favorite.

Though learning gymnastics has been more7for her than for some of her teammates, she has never quit. She

doesn't let her 8stop her from doing anything that she wants to.

She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest9is the balance beam. Because she has double

vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even

closes her eyes. “You have to 10your mind that it'll take you where you want to go,”says Lola.

To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most11for anyone because it's four

inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn't fall 12the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10—her highest

score yet.

Lola doesn't want to be 13differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don't

know about her vision 14. She doesn't tell them, because she doesn't think they need to know. Her mom is amazed

by her 15attitude.

Lola never thinks about16. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her 17

is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she's learned to other kids 18

she grew up.

Lola is19of all her hard work and success. She says it's helped her overcome problems in her life outside

gymnastics, too. Her 20for others is “just believe yourself”.

I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad's service in World War II, he was

36 again to

fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn't drink 37 to numb (麻痹) his terrible

2

memories. He struggled to 38 for his growing family.

On our occasional trips to town, I 39 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could

40 myself in unknown places —where children weren't hungry and were in 41 of little.

When I wasn't daydreaming, my 42 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the

covers 43 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 44 we didn't have

electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 45 more than lies, but the stories I told improved

46 every book I read.

Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money —to put more food on the

family table. We 47 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people's houses.

Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of

beans. 48

my real hunger wasn't for food —it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world

49 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 50 when he told us we would never amount to

anything.

Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 51 than our parents expected

52 us. We

devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 53 would be our

steppingstone into a brighter future.

Now I'm 54 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business

owners. And me, I'm the keeper of the family stores. I'll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if

we had not known 55 as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to ___45___ for

screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something

slowly began to ___46___ on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had

been ___47___, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it ___48___ that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the ___49___ of being a ___50____ again, less sure about everything.

It freed me to ___51___ one of the most creative periods of my life.

I'm pretty sure _ _52___ of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was

___53___ tasting

medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Don't lose ___54___. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going

was that I loved what I did. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't ___55___. As with all matters of the heart,

you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep

looking until you find it.

I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America．It is said，

“The best house is in the U．S．A．，the best wife is in Japan，and the bestfood is in China．”So I

took 26 and pleasure to 27 “the best food”for my American family．Eachday，regardless of my poor skill

of cooking，I performed（表演）my play in 28 way：changing thedishes' colour，the meat's type or the

soup's style（风味）．Thus，my American friends could discover the 29 of eating Chinese food．Because

of my“30”job，I was often rewarded（奖励）by their 31 of appreciation （感激）such as “very tasty”，“excellent”, etc．But the joke was here：yesterday，I cooked Sichuan－style 32 for dinner．I was 33 at my achievement（成就）．When all the family members arrived at the

table，they first looked 34 atthe fish，then looked at me．“Why do all the fish have their 35？”they

asked，“It's horrible！”Horrible or beautiful？I don't know．But I 36 know that fish heads are delicious.

The 37 is the best part of fish；in 38 only the respectable（受敬重的）guest can have the special 39 of

enjoying it．Another 40 thing is：the American friends often said to me“41 ”as they 42 fruits or

otherthings．According to Chinese tradition（传统），I would simply smile in answer to

theirkindness 43 actually helping myself to any of the food．44，I said “help yourself”to themwhenever I

brought home fruits．Dear me，no matter how much or how often I brought home food，as long as it was

nice to their taste，they 45 hesitated（犹豫）to use their hands to “helpthemselves”until all was finished．

26．A．worry B. attention C. delight D. pride(自豪) 27．A．buy B. fetch C. cook D. leave

28．A．their B. a new C. the same D. a simple

29．A．way B. joy C. trouble D. importance

30．A．hard B. daily C. good D. new 31．A．expressions B. sentence C．doing D. smile 32．A．meat B. fish C. soup D. egg

33．A．praised B. pleased C. bad D. surprise 34．A．pleasedly B. excitedly C. surprisedly D. worriedly
