(B) 

     Don’t worry if you have a problem!This is easy to say if you don't have one yourself,I know. But the only people who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. We call them cemeteries (墳?zāi)? .

If you're breathing,you have difficulties. That's how life is. But believe it or not,most of your problems may actually be good for you!Let me explain.

    Maybe you know about the Great Barrier Reef (大堡樵) ，running some 1,800 miles from New Guinea(新幾內(nèi)亞) to Australia* Tour guides often take visitors to see the reef. On one tour,the guide was asked an interesting questioru “I notice that the lagoon (瀉湖) side of the reef looks pale and lifeless,while the ocean side is lively and colorful. Why is this?”

    The guide answered ,“The coral (珊瑚) around the lagoon side is still in water. With no challenge to its survival (生存) ，it dies early. The coral on the ocean side is always being tested by wind,waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested,it changes and grows healthy and grows strong." He added ,“That's the way it is with every living thing.

    That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested,we come alive!Like coral by the sea,we grow. Physical problems make for a stronger body. Stress makes for a stronger mind.

So,you have problems —no problem!Just tell yourself ,“There I grow again!”

六、閱讀理解(20分)

                 (A) 

      Believe it or not,going to school is not a legal (法定的) requirement in the United States. It is a legal requirement that all kids should be educated,though. When parents believe they can give their kids a better education—or have other reasons for not wanting to send their kids to a local school—they may choose home schooling.

     However,if a kid hates school,home schooling is probably not the escape (逃避) he is looking for. Home schooled students can learn just as much as they would in regular school if they and their parents work hard to cover all the necessary subjects and experiences necessary. Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not. They already have the vskills to educate themselves about teaching their kids.

     Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching,but also researching lesson plans and resources. So they have to know how to find the information necessary to teach their kids. State wschools often provide home-schooling parents with a course,books and materials and places to meet. Some state schools will point parents to other resources for brushing up on forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.

    Years ago,while I lived in England,part of my college task was to help the children with special needs. I was chosen to work in a school with diwSabled childrea The teacher asked me to 1 Nancy,a ten-year-old girl. One of her hands could not move. At her school the teachers would think h was an achievement 2 she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in hen She had always wanted to put a string (線) 3 the hole of a key.

    For the 5 years Nancy was in the school,the teachers always 4 to help her,but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do 5 ,so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very 6 . Sometimes I wanted to give up too. However,after a week Nancy was able to do 7 she had wanted to alone for so many years. Her teachers cried 8 when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.

    Disabled people should 9 be told they can't do this or that. With just some encouragement they can do it. I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves 10 telling them they can't. Something is so small,but it can make a difference.
