When I wake up on summer mornings, I know I am going to my favorite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone's life just by being with him or her -- a summer school for autistic (患孤独症的)children.

By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas.

Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.

At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they will need later in life.

The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said “Hello”. From then on, I knew I could make a difference.

Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220 words himself!

Summer school is also a time for fun, Last summer, bagpipe(风箱)players came to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raised her hand as high as she could, got up on stage, and even tried the bagpipes in front of everyone.

Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things. I'm teaching them, but they are teaching me more.

1.According to Paragraph 2, many people think autistic kids _________ .

A. can't read or do math           B. don't have important skills

C. don’t play with other kids       D. can't think or feel

2.The phrase “these experiences” in the last paragraph refers to the following EXCEPT ________ .

A. “I” read the books for kids

B. a boy read nearly 220 words himself

C. a girl tried the bagpipes on stage as a volunteer

D. a boy said hello to“ me” politely

3.What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?

A. His teaching experience in a summer holiday.

B. How to make a difference in others' lives.

C. His experience as a volunteer in a special summer school.

D. Autistic children's hard life.

I entered St Thoma’s Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there. I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evening, after my high tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called “Liza of Lambeth”, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. It was of course an accident, but naturally I did not know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now and knowing as I do the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk. It never even occurred to me.

The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of £100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed ; the next play he arranged to put on was not ready , and he was at his wits’ end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced. It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town. One of the students at St Thomas’s Hospital asked the famous surgeon with whom I had worked whether he remembered me. “Yes, I remember him quite well, “he said. “ One of our failures, I’m afraid. “

On her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.

When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam(闲逛) around without adult supervision(监管).

A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of their free time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of children's world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks.

“We are depriving(剥夺) them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades(十年).

I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I won't be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own abilities.

1.Hearing the author's daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his American friends feel________.

A. worried　　 B. proud

C. doubtful　　 D. terrified

2.We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that ________.

A. American kids enjoy playing at home

B. German parents are less protective than American parents

C. German kids like taking risks more than American kids

D. American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time

3.It's implied from Professor Gray's words that ________.

A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from risks

B. more and more parents suffer from mental problems

C. children are having more opportunities to take control of their lives

D. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental development

4.Which of the following words can best describe the author's parenting?

A. Open-minded.　　 B. Irresponsible.

C. Careless.　　 D. Protective.
