A few weeks ago, while my mom and I were shopping, we met my teacher, who mentioned the school had no music teacher to help our class with a performance for Winter Fair. And my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll 1 it to the kids!”
3 I could say “Please don’t,” my mom had agreed. Oh, just to be clear, she’s not a 2 singer. The only singing she does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a 4 idea ” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school’s Winter Fair to happen, people need to go up and 5 .”
“Today, a special guest is here to help us with the performance. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday.
“I’m excited to be here with you!” my mom said. “I’m going to teach you a fun song and dance 6 learned a few years back. Here goes!”
Oh, please! I said over and over in my head. But clearly, my mom was not at all cared about looking 7 . She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing. I just closed my eyes, covered my ears.
After a few seconds, though, I uncovered one ear and peek(窥视) through a half-open eye with great courage. When I saw the expression of full 8 on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun, I couldn’t help 9 . My classmates clapped and cheered, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is 10 talented!” someone says.
Not only my mom was OK at performing, but she’s also good at teaching us singing and dancing, too. I was actually proud of her.“I’m really glad you helped my class,” I said to my mom after Winter Fair. My mom laughed, “Thanks, dear. I also had such a great time.”

二. 短文填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,计15分)
What should you do when you meet a blind person A quick Google search will turn up plenty of answers, which are quite different 11. each other. So there is no general agreement on what to do in this situation..
There are no special rules or things should do and shouldn’t do that can deal with this situation. There is only one rule: Blind people are nothing more or less than people 12. happen to be blind. It’s our own job to take care of ourselves. And we are thankful to no one else for special care.
The best thing to do is nothing. Don’t suppose you know what we need. 13. we do need something, we’ll politely let you know.
Forget everything you’ve heard about the blind, even if you consider 14. to be an expert. Blind people have plenty to say about “experts”. Especially, forget things you’ve heard or read about “Ten things to Do If You Meet 15. Blind Person”.The advice will probably just cause 16. embarrassing moments. More of it is made up by sighted people anyway, and doesn’t necessarily stand for the blind’s view.
There is completely no way to second-guess the situation by requiring any preformed ideas. Even if you’ve known other blind people, don’t think you know 17. to do with every one of them.The thing that often makes us 18. is to hear these words. “It’s OK. My sister (or cousin, friend) is blind.”
Blind people are as different from each other as any two people on the earth.There are no similarities among us that you 19. depend on. Even the degree of vision (视力), the sense of hearing or touch of us is very different. Most blind people do have some degree of vision, and even the very few of us who are totally blind may 20. our senses of touch and hearing very effectively (有效的).
