“He looks normal.” That's what everybody says when I tell them my son was just diagnosed as autism（孤独症）. They all say it without 36 .

It’s true. Alejandro does look like every other 37 boy. He plays, he smiles, and he runs around with the two-year-old boy’s boundless 38 until he is too tired. He laughs when you move your fingers 39 on a sensitive part of his body. And he often 40 his toys like every other young child at his age.

But most of the time, Alejandro 41 in his own little world playing with his toys all by himself 42 in a group of kids and 43 you when you talk to him loudly. At that time he’s alone, no matter how hard you try to 44 him.

My wife and I get 45 . We ask for “nose kisses” or hugs and many times he doesn’t 46 us. It’s extremely anxious when your child’s face is right in front of you and he won’t admit your 47 .

He regularly doesn’t eat. The food often 48 him when he puts it in his mouth. He is very small 49 his age. We are told that it’s another 50 of the autism.

Because autism isn’t like some other 51 , there is no set treatment. Each child needs to be treated 52 ; what works for one probably doesn’t work for another. Try a treatment. If it doesn’t work, you have to try another 53 you hopefully find something that does work.

The future is cloudy, but we will try everything we can do to reach him, because we love him and we know he’s a(n) 54 little boy. And we believe with the help of love, we can 55 any difficulty.

Niagara is an Indian word, which means "roaring water". Indeed, the roar of falling water of Niagara can be heard   1   a distance of 25 km. Imagine   2  of water flowing over a cliff of 90 feet high and you will get an idea of that terrible noise.

　　 And   3   great power the Niagara River has! It moves big rocks about and throws them into the boiling water below.

　　    4   ago an old ship without a single person on board was put in midstream. It sailed down the river   5   a toy boat with great speed. Having reached the fall, the ship dropped into the boiling water, never   6   again.

There were some people who wanted to become famous   7   swimming across the most dangerous part of the Niagara River. One of them was Captain Webb.

The man had disappeared under the water. Thousands of eyes 12   on the river, but the man was drowned.

　　 In 1902, a certain Miss Taylor decided to go over the falls in a barrel. There were different kinds of pillows inside the barrel to prevent her 13  . Having examined the barrel carefully, Miss Taylor got in. The barrel was closed and then   14   into the water. Having reached the falls, it overturned and was shot down by the terrible   15   of the water. When the barrel was finally caught and opened, Miss Taylor came out alive   16   with a frightened look in her eyes.

Once a crowd of visitors saw a rope    17   over them from one bank of the river to the other. Then they saw a man   18   the rope. The man was an actor, Blondin   19  . He managed to cross Niagara Falls on a tight rope. The people on the bank were surprised at his   20   it so well.
