His face grew troubled.“Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning ?” With that , my heart47 . He couldn’t even give me an answer48 away.

After you do typing for a long time , I need my 52 to do it for you.
Every time you leave the house , you forget your keys . I need my legs to run 53 and open the door for you… that’s why I cannot pick the flower for you….”
With tears 54from my eyes , I opened the door. And there he was , with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Q: My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree. Her performance in general is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has to get over. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?
---- Deborah
A: First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy.
You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also prove an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability.
---- Ms. Kravis
1.What do we know about Deborah’s daughter?
A．She is applying for a master’s degree.
B．She is very active in her high school.
C．Her disability prevents her studying well.
D．She has difficulty getting over her learning disability.
2.The underlined word “demonstrate” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.
A．show B．develop C．gain D．change
3.What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude towards one’s declaring his/her learning disability?
A．Supportive. B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Unconcerned.
4.According to the passage, Mr. Kravis is probably _____.
A．an editor B．a school leader
C．a psychological doctor D．an educational expert

The island Fiji has always been around me in my life. My parents met in Fiji when my father was a teacher as a Peace Corps volunteer and my mother a student. They taught me about its people, culture, foods and religious beliefs.
At the age of two, I made my first trip across the Pacific Ocean to Fiji. My mother and I made that trip unexpectedly because my grandma was ill and longed to see her American granddaughter. Although I have few memories of that first trip, I do remember grandma braiding (编辫子)my hair every day. The brush gliding through my hair is a feeling I will treasure forever because she passed away soon. I returned to America when I was five years old. This time I had a brother, Martin, who was two.
I resisted my third trip to Fiji when I was 15, being a teenager who did not want to spend the summer away from friends. It was this trip, however, that made me realize that Fiji is not just a place to visit but a part of who I am. The smells and sounds and sights came back to me, but the best part was getting to know my relatives.
Vishal was one cousin I quickly bonded with. Born two days before me, I had only known him through pictures before. Though raised oceans apart in different cultures, we talked and laughed about everything from American sports to Fijian dancing. I was able to form close ties with all my cousins, and when I talk about them now, it’s as if I have known them my whole life. Spending time with them helped me understand the traditions and values my mother grew up with. Hospitality and care and respect for family members are central values in Fijian culture.
I truly enjoyed learning about my roots during this trip. Fiji is just like a second home, and I will never forget the time I have spent there.
1.From the passage, we can learn that _______.
A．the author’s parents had been classmates before
B．the author had lived in Fiji for about five years
C．the author had no memories of her grandma
D．people value family in Fijian culture
2.The author resisted her third trip to Fiji because _____.
A．she didn’t want to separate from her brother
B．she didn’t know her cousins there very well
C．she didn’t want to separate from her American friends
D．her grandma had passed away
3.Which of the following is TRUE about Vishal?
A．He is younger than the author.
B．The author had met him on her first trip to Fiji.
C．He and the author had lots of common interests.
D．He and the author held different opinions about Fijian culture.
