Once I got into trouble. my school papers were continually late.” explained Roger, who had to hold his pencil with both hands to write    5    . “I asked Dad to write a note to my teacher,    6    for a two-day extension on my assignments.    7    , Dad made me start writing my paper two days earlier!”

    Roger went on to play college tennis, finishing his tennis career with 22 wins and 11 losses.

Roger now tours the country, speaking to groups about what it takes to be a winner, no matter    17    you are.

    “The only difference    18    you and me is that you can see my handicap, but I can't see    19    . We all have them. When people ask me how I've been able to overcome my physical handicap, I tell them that I haven't overcome anything. I've 20    learned what I can't do-such as play the piano or eat with chopsticks, but more importantly, I've learned what I can do. Then I do what I can with all my heart and soul,” said Roger in the end.

It had not gone far    20    I heard strange noises; and when I tried to make sure where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did my best to save them.

What is intelligence (智力) anyway? When I was in the army I    1    an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against    2    of 100, scored 160.

    I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not    3    have scored more than 80.    4   , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him —and he always    5    it.

    Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man    6    questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself    7   . In a world where I have to work with my   8   , I'd do poorly.

    Consider my auto-repair man    9   . He had a habit of telling    10   . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb (聋哑) man    11    some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made    12    movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He    13    his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk    14    him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the    15  man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀).    16    do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his    17    and asked for them. I've been    18    that on all my customers today, but I knew    19    I'd catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated. Doc. I knew you couldn't be very    20   .”

    And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

Surfing: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore

    If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would    1   : surfing (冲浪运动). But isn't that a boy thing? Some people    2   . Most certainly not.

    I started surfing about five years ago and    3   in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first    4    was the best feeling I had ever experienced. When I try to   5  surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my    6   , there's nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body,    7   , and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 8    us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that    9   , becoming one with the 10   , is like I'm weightless.

    The one thing I can    11    from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean    12    an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and    13   . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it    14    from any other sport.

    I've    15    to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new    16   , so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start    17    the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?

    There're women    18    side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys    19    the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to    20   , and they will.
