B

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

2

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.”

4. 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

5. 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.

6. The word “dyslexia” can be interpreted as ________.

A. hearing disability

C. mental illness

B. low in intelligence

D. disorder of reading

7. 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.

C

Sometimes, you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved

away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running

down your cheeks.

According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one

of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first

type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the World. Next are reflex tears. They wash

your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “These are released in response to

emotional states,” explains Vingerhoets.

Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other.

“Humans are very complex social creatures,” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in

Pennsylvania.

Vingerhoets agrees,

（流眼泪）

has something to do with our

childhood,

major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.

could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a

safer way to get attention.
