My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants," Girls rule, boys drool." But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.
This has been challenging for me at times. "Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids' triathlon(三项全能).
On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she'd need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.
And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen.She dominated(主宰)that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered(克服) that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.
Shine on, sweet baby.

Jane Clarke,
My daughter is coming up to her finals.She eats reasonably well but less so in term time,as getting out to buy fresh fruit and vegetables is time-consuming.She has recently often had flu.Can you offer guidance on what to eat and drink when under pressure?
Mary King,
She should mainly take in the B vitamins,the group largely responsible for the smooth running of the nervous system,and vitamin C,which experts believe we need in much greater quantities when we are stressed than the usual.
B vitamins are found in many foods but especially pork,bacon,nuts,dairy products,lean meat,fish,eggs and whole grains-so even if your daughter can’t shop regularly,other foods can work in her favor.Tinned oily fish are good,which can help to block production of the enzyme(酶)that makes us feel tense when under pressure.
Fresh produce usually has the highest and best all-round levels of nutrients such as vitamin C,but if your daughter has a freezer she could buy frozen vegetables,which contain good levels.Fresh juice is another good source of vitamin C.
She should avoid caffeine,as it increases the adrenaline(肾上腺素)generated at times of stress; water would be better.Frequent small meals can help concentration.
High-sugar foods such as biscuits and sweets could make people feel excited,and patients often feel the same; better avoid eating them.Pasta,rice or a jacket potato,will help to calm us down.And drinking plenty of water can also help concentration.
1.If lacking vitamin C,one had better eat .
A. dairy products and oily fish
B. fresh vegetables and fruits
C. caffeine and biscuits
D. lean meat and fresh vegetable
2.We can learn that the daughter of Mary King .
A. doesn’t have enough time to go shopping
B. is fond of buying frozen vegetables
C. is getting on well with her classmates
D. is too stressed to prepare for the finals
3.According to the passage,why should high-sugar foods be avoided?
A. Because it increases the adrenaline.
B. Because it can make students more stressed.
C. Because it can excite people.
D. Because it can make people fat.
4.We can infer from the passage that .
A. the more water one drinks,the better
B. Jane Clarke knows Mary King very well
C. eating is closely related to people’s mental health
D. the daughter of Mary King takes in too much caffeine

高三英语完形填空简单题查看答案及解析
My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said to me, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested and found that the troubles my daughter was having were the same as those I had had. I decided to get tested as well. She was dyslexic, and so was I. By then I was a successful television writer and producer. I’d won an Emmy for “The Rockford Files.”
Had I known earlier, though, that there was a reason beyond my control to explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me.
I needed that praise because I was carrying around the failure in studies. I did badly in all my courses.
I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So what do I take from that? He must be smarter than I am. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”
No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read at least twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right. I get that recording “The number you have reached is not in service” more than any man on earth.
Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right- brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly— I go like wind — and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the problem. That’s my strength.
The real fear I have for dyslexic is not that they have to struggle with regular school studies, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories whenever they can, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading’s hard. But I have these other things I can do.”
1.The writer decided to get himself tested probably because ________.
A.he wanted to know if they had the same problem
B.he accepted that his daughter was not smart
C.he didn’t (realize the problem with his daughter
D.his father had the same troubles as they did
2.What can you infer from the second paragraph?
A.The writer struggled hard and finally ended with good grades.
B.The writer was thankful not knowing of his dyslexia before.
C.Dyslexia made the writer a low achiever all through his life.
D.People praised the writer because they knew he had dyslexia.
3.The word “dyslexia” can be interpreted as ________.
A.hearing disability B.low in intelligence
C.mental illness D.disorder of reading
4.Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the main idea?
A.Never judge a person by his appearance.
B.God never shuts one door but he opens another.
C.If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
D.No one can make a good coat with bad cloth.
