I didn't cry when I learned I was the parent of a disabled (残疾的）child.
"Go ahead and cry," the doctor a 81 kindly, but I couldn't cry then, nor during the days that followed.
When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten. On the first morning, Jenny spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very1 82 .
However, to my joy, Jenny's classmates always encouraged, her, ‘you got all your spelling words right today!" In fact her spelling list was the e 83 Late she faced a very painful problem—at the end of the term, there was a game which had something to do with physical education. But Jenny was way behind in it:
My husband and I were anxious (忧虑）about the day. I wanted to keep her home. Why let Jenny fail in a gymnasium filled with parents, students and teachers But my heart wouldn't let me off that easily. So I pushed a pale, unwilling Jenny onto the school bus.
At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her s84 action. Jenny would probably hold up (阻碍）her team. The game went on well until it was time for the sack (麻袋）race. Surely Jenny would find it difficult. Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players
But as it was her turn to join, a c 85 took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Jenny placed his hands on her waist (腰).Two other boys stood ahead of her. The moment the player before Jenny stepped out from the sack, those two boys picked up the sack quickly and held it open while the tall boy lifted Jenny and dropped her into it. A girl in front of Jenny took her hand and supported her until Jenny gained her balance. Then she j 86 forward, smiling and proud.
In the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked Heaven for the warm, understanding people in life who make it p 87 for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.
D.Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题）：(12分)
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence(智力) and feelings.
　　In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
　 The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
　　Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
　 Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful(健忘). People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today It may be the weather’s problem.
