I was born an albino(白化病人) in Pennsylvania in 1945. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was and what it (35) to be albino.

My family and friends never treated me as (36) else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when troubles came along, I could (37) them.

Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, but the fact that I could hardly (38) didn’t trouble me that much.

Kids would make fun of me, calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip(尖) of my (39) so that I could see it well enough. Even when I was eight, movie-theater workers started asking me to pay full price because I “looked (40).”

The worst part for me was that (41) my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well. I didn’t (42) trying, though. I shot hoops(篮球框) every day. And I studied hard.

Finally, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college, I was double majoring(专业), going to summer school and (43) myself with every activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a good word. And I decided to make my (44) with my eyes—and in sports.

I couldn’t see very well to play sports, but with a solid education and a drive to do it, I could make a living involved in the area I loved. I’ve done it now for over thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace（网络空间）. People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know, but the jokes are of goodwill. Some of them are the signs of (45).

I was just a(an) (46) albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence and be proud of my personal achievement.

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was very short, what’s more, something was wrong with his foot. When we walked together, people would laugh at us. So he always said, “You go by yourself. I will try to catch up with you.”

It’s far from my home to his factory, and he went there on foot. No matter how bad the weather was, he almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. 83When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. However, he never talked about himself. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Once, a fight broke out at a beach party, nobody would stop it. Though my father couldn’t stand up, he began to shout, “I’ll fight anyone who will sit down with me!” Nobody did, and the fight was over. I was really proud of him.

When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. Once, I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.

84He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I think of him when I complain about something terrible, when I don’t have a “good heart”. Only then could I remember his words, “You go by yourself. I will try to catch up with you.”
