　　Many people see a person who can't read or spell as disabled, but what does disabled really mean? Well, with Andrew Mertzit of Maryland it meant he would not be 1 to attend his school any more. Andrew's 2 is that whenever he is reading, he sees the letters p, d, q and b as a 3 and stick. Since Andrew's teachers couldn't 4 him much, Suzanne, Andrew's mother decided to take 5 in her own hands. She decided to home school Andrew. In ten months, Suzanne, a trained reading specialist tried many different 6 to help Andrew with his disability. She helped Andrew with making letters out of sand, rice and shaving cream. Now, about nine years later Andrew is 7 having some problems with reading, but certainly a lot better than before.

　　Lately researchers have been finding many different ways to help learning disabled students by 8 things like rice and shaving cream or even to get little computers. Also, nowadays there are schools all over that have programs to help disabled kids, unlike back in 1995 when Andrew had to be 9 schooled by his mother. But to help disabled students it takes about $ 8.12 billion. You probably think that's a lot of money, but if you 10 that in 1996 there were about 2.6 million kids who were disabled, it may not seem all that 11 . Even though a person may have a learning disability at a certain subject, like reading, it does not mean that he or she doesn't have a talent（才能）at something else. For example, 15 years ago when Joey Hollingsworth entered kindergarten, teachers said that Joey was very clever. Once Joey started getting 12 , his grades got lower. Lots of people just thought he was 13 and had discipline（纪律）problems. Many years later he finally was 14 for learning disabilities and found out he really did have a disability.

　　Still many people believe kids like Joey who can't read or write are lazy. It's hard to understand that 15 a person doesn't look disabled, he can have problems with learning, and it's even harder for the 16 .

Little things like that tend to 24 a lot of us 25 but we manage to deal with it.

　　　 Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very 26 near where I keep the dirty 27 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 28 running all over the house, it was crazy. 29 these elderly women were watching 30 I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers.

　　　 When they 31 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 32 I was in and what I planned to do in the future.

　　　 33 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 34 and gentle voice, “You are going places.” And that was it. They left the 35 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me 36 to believe in myself. They 37 my spirit from being down and gave me a 38 to keep on working hard.

Nowadays it is found that school students seldom pay much attention to sports. Is it because they have no    1   in sports? It may not be the fact. They often say they have    2   more important things to do.

   3   are these important things? Examinations! They have to    4   themselves for the most important School Certificates of Education Examination(毕业会考), and also to    5   with the test and the exams in school. So many of them tend to    6   bookworms.

Because of the pressure   11   their parents and teachers, they have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. Many parents   12   their children to pass this examination in order to get a stepping stone for higher studies or better jobs. As for the   13   themselves, they want to get good results so that they can   14   their studies in the universities. So it is necessary that they   15   up their school activities, especially sports.

Indeed, a complete education cannot go   16   physical training, for a quick mind seldom
