A certain student passed all his examinations. Then he went to college to 21 his studies. There he wrote down his 22 for a course in English, but after the first 23 , he didn’t go to it any more.

　　　 The English lecturer 24_this student was always absent (缺席的) and thought he had 25_to another course, so he was 26 when he saw the boy’s name on the list of students who wanted to take the English 27at the end of this year.

　　　 The lecturer had 28 a difficult paper, which followed his 29 closely, and he was eager (热切的) to see 30 this student would answer the questions. He 31__the boy’s answers would be very bad, but when they 32 him and he examined them 33 , he was able to find only one small mistake in them. As this surprised him greatly, he 34 the paper repeatedly but still couldn’t find more than one mistake, so he 35 for the student to question him about it.

　　　 When he came and sat down, the lecturer asked him, “I 36 you came to my first lecture and you’ve been absent from all the others. But I’ve examined your 37 carefully and I’ve found only one small mistake in it. I’m curious (好奇的) to know your 38 .”

　　　 “I’m very 39 about that mistake,” answered the student. “After the examination, I 40 what I should have done. I would not have made that mistake if I had not been confused by your first lecture.”

I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 　16 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 　17 than others.

I hated going to school and I hated people 　18 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing 　19 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 　20 and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).

My friends found me 　21 because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 　22 Angela appeared.

That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would 　23 me. That’s when I first heard her voice.

“Hi. Can I sit down?”

I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.

“What are you looking at?” she asked.

“Ants.”

“What are they doing?”

“No 　24 .”

“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”

That was how our 　25 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun — the ants, the clouds, my little niche (处境) — until it was sunset.

Then suddenly, she saw my 　26 . She just stared.

My heart 　27 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would

28 me now.

She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know 　29 your back is hunched.”

I closed my eyes like a criminal (罪犯) waiting to be 　30 . I begged in my heart for her to

31 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”

“No,” I answered 　32 .

She bent and whispered in my ears.

“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”

I was 　33 . I looked into her eyes and her 　34 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 　35 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

In Latin America, as in other places, the dreaded protein deficiency disease kwashiorkor (红体病) is taking as heavy toll of children's lives. Strategic vitamins and minerals may be lacing due to traditional diets which are nutritionally unbalanced. Here people continue their eating pattern year after year without knowledge of what their dietary habits are doing to themselves and to future generations.

With a basic knowledge of nutritional needs and deficiencies, efforts could be directed to finding food substitutes which could meet these needs. Mixtures of vegetable proteins, like soybeans and peanuts, could provide an abundance of cheap, useful protein where meat, eggs, and milk are not within economic reach of large groups in the population. Efforts could also be expended on increasing the agricultural productivity in specific regions; where large areas are given over to relatively inefficient use as gazing land, the intensive production of vegetable protein crops could bring remedial nutrition to an undernourished population. Elsewhere, enrichment with specific vitamins and minerals of traditional staple foods that are deficient in essential nutritive factors could wipe out disabling deficiency diseases most overnight. Similarly, addition of minute amounts of inexpensive iodine (碘) to salt benefit large areas where endemic goiter (地方流行性甲状腺肿大) has been accepted as an integral (组成的) part of life for generations.

In most corners of the world, malnutrition is plainly a matter of outright insufficiency of food for the population——where the majority of the people do not obtain enough food calories to meet minimal needs for support of physical work and for maintenance of health. Elsewhere the problem may be not one of insufficient calories but of lack of specific nutrients essential for health.
