After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.

During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.

I spent over one hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.

When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:

Dear Rick,

My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.

I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Yours,

Matthew

It was a long week for Amanda at school. She stayed after school to work on a special project(课题) three days in a row. When she got home on Friday, she dropped into the chair with a sigh.

“What’s going on, Amanda?” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.

“I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would,” Amanda answered.

Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about.

“It’s about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news,” Amanda said and added, “I have to provide information, examples and illustrations(插图).”

“Sounds tough; do you have someone to help you?” her dad asked.

“I have a partner named Zach,” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.”

Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences: newspaper news is printed on paper, and Internet news is published online; newspaper news is only available once a day, and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers don’t even print a daily paper, and Internet news is published around the clock.

Amanda’s dad asked, “Which type of news do you like better?”

“I like Internet news better because I like to learn about the news when it happens,” she answered.

Her dad said, “I still like newspaper news better because I like to hold the paper in my hands and turn the pages.”

Amanda dropped into her chair again and said, “You are so old school, Dad.”

1.Why did Amanda sigh when she came home?

A. She failed to pass the exam.

B. She was tired of school life.

C. She was worried about her school project.

D. She made a mistake in her technology class.

2.What did Amanda’s father think of her work on creating a webpage for her technology class?

A. Exciting.        B. Boring.            C. Interesting.            D. Difficult.

3.Which of the following may Amanda agree with?

A. People should pay for Internet news.

B. Newspaper news will soon disappear.

C. Internet news is given to readers in good time.

D. It is wrong to say no to newspaper news.

4.What kind of person is Amanda’s father?

A. He is a man who misses the past.

B. He is a man who cares little about news.

C. He is a man who knows the computer well.

D. He is a man who cannot live without the Internet.
