Jordan was born with a disability. But she says her difference doesn't hold her back—it makes her amazing.

When Jordan was having a new dance class at the age of 8, she noticed that some kids were staring at her. The kids were looking at her left arm. It stops above the elbow(肘部).

Each year, about 2,000 babies in the United States are born with limb differences, like Jordan was. That means they are missing all or part of an arm or a leg. With only one hand, Jordan has a tough time doing certain activities like tying her shoes. She sometimes uses a prosthetic(假体)arm to help her ride her bike.

Jordan attended camps for kids with limb differences. Three years ago, she was a special workshop. She was challenged to design a new prosthetic arm—one that would turn her disability into a "superpower".

Jordan worked with designers. They used a 3-D printer to create a prosthetic arm shaped like a unicorn's horn(独角兽的角). "It was really cool to show that you can build onto your difference to make it awesome," says Jordan.

In 2017, Jordan and her mom formed an organization called Born Just Right. They want to help other kids with limb differences. "We want to show kids that anything is possible," Jordan says.

Sure, people still sometimes stare. But Jordan uses those moments to educate others, "Your differences are amazing and you never know what amazing things you can do with them."

1.Why were the kids staring at Jordan?

A.Because Jordan was good at dancing. B.Because Jordan only had part of the arm.

C.Because Jordan couldn't dance well. D.Because Jordan was a famous designer.

2.What does the underlined word "limb" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Eyes or ears. B.Noses or mouths. C.Arms or legs. D.Hair or skin.

3.Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

A.Jordan became disabled when she was eight years old.

B.Jordan invented a special prosthetic arm on her own.

C.Born Just Right is set up by Jordan and her mom.

D.There is no one staring at Jordan anymore.

4.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?

A.Jordan is proud to be different and will encourage other disabled kids.

B.Jordan never feels uncomfortable when people stare at her.

C.Jordan will have a real arm one day in the future.

D.More and more people will use 3-D printers to make prosthetic arms.

Andy was born in China 17 years ago. In 2007, she went to the USA with her family. As a high school student, she has found many differences between Chinese and Americans:

About money

Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt(欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank.

The American kids themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.

About education

Many American students have less homework to do while many Chinese students have much.

Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.

Many American parents think there is no need to send their children to an expensive school. It’s different in China. Many Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to expensive schools though their family isn’t rich enough.

About friends

Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by themselves. They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents usually enjoy knowing more about their children’s friends in many different ways, and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends.
