One day Mrs. Smith was sitting in her doctor‟s waiting room when a young boy and his mother entered the office. The young boy caught Mrs. Smith‟s attention 31 he wore a patch over one eye. She felt 32 at how natural he seemed to be even though he lost one of his eyes.
The doctor‟s office was very busy that day, so Mrs. Smith had an opportunity to have a chat with the boy‟s mother while he played with his toy soldiers.
In the end, Mrs. Smith took the chance to ask the little boy what had happened to his eye. He 33 her question for a long moment, and then replied, lifting the patch, “There‟s nothing wrong with my eye. I‟m a pirate (海盜)!” The n he returned to his 34 .
Mrs. Smith was there because she had lost her leg from the knee down in a car accident. Her 35 today was to check whether it had been OK enough to be fitted with a prosthetic (假肢). The loss had been 36 to her. Try as she would to be brave, she felt like a disabled fool. She knew that this loss should not have a bad effect on her life, but emotionally, she could not get out of the fear and sadness.
The word “pirate” changed her life. Immediately, she saw herself dressed as Long John Silver, a famous pirate, standing aboard a pirate ship. She stood with her legs planted wide apart. The ship rocked under the storm‟s force. 37 she stood firmly (穩固地). She smiled into a storm.
At that moment, the disabled image was replaced and her courage 38 .
She regarded the young boy with respect, who was just busy with his soldiers.
A few minutes later, the nurse called her. As she 39 on her crutches, the
boy noticed her leg. “Hey lady,” he called, “What‟s wrong with your leg?” the young boy‟s mother felt very sorry for her son‟s question.
Mrs. Smith looked down at her shortened leg for a moment. Then she replied with a smile, “Nothing. I‟m a 40 , too.”

A Different Kind of Spring Break
For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny beach. In Panama City Beach, Florida more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break place in the United States.
A weeklong party is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to help solve problems such as homelessness or environmental damage makes spring break a special learning experience that university students can feel good about.
During one spring break week, students from James Madison University in Virginia took part in 15 “spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane (颶風) Katrina. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They did some work to help protect the native Florida plants.
Students who take part in spring break projects find them very rewarding (值得的). While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people right now without degrees. On the other hand, the buildings or rooms they live or stay are far from attractive. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church. But they only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their friends spend traveling to more traditional spring break hot spots.
Spring break projects appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States. Some students take the opportunity to meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place. Whatever their reasons, these students have discovered something that give them rich rewards along with a break from school work.
1.What‟s the number one spring break place in the United States?
2.What is the way to make spring break matter for some students?
3. How did the students help in Bogalusa, Louisiana?
4.Where do the student volunteers often sleep?
5.What makes the spring break projects more rewarding?
