文档简介
1. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture.2. Unfortunately, the doctors dont know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability.3. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. 4. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope.5. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered.6. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others.7. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me.8. The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them.9. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up.10. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself.11. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile.12. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while.13. In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more independent.14. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying.15. So dont feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and dont ignore them either.16. I hope you will not mind me writing to ask if you have thought about the needs of disabled customers. In particular I wonder if you have considered the following things:17. Adequate access for wheelchairs.18. It would be handy to have lifts to all parts of the cinema.19. It would help to fit sets of earphones to all seats, not just to some of them.20. This would allow hearing-impaired customers to enjoy the company of their hearing friends rather than having to sit in a special area.21. It can be difficult if the only disabled toilet is in the basement a long way from where the film is showing.22. Of course, there are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers.23. I hope my suggestions will meet with your approval.24. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as able-bodied people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with dignity.25. Claire didnt want the robot in her house, especially as her husband would be absent for three weeks, but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldnt harm her or allow her to be harmed.26. It would be a bonus. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed.27. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.28. But she began to trust him.29. As a favour Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant.30. Claire borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan.31. She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin.32. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of items for her.33. When the clerk at the counter was rude to her, she rang Tony up and told the clerk to speak to him. The clerk immediately changed his attitude.34. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought.35. By that time, Tony expected the house to be completely transformed.36. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body.37. The clock struck eight.38. At that moment, Tony folded his arms around her, bending his face close to hers.39. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women!40. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.41. Asimov had both an extraordinary imagination that gave him the ability to explore future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for explanations of everything, in the present and the past.42. It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious.43. He had told a friend two chapters of a story he had written. The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book.44. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (1951-1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future.45. It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future.46. Some of his ideas about robots later influenced other writers and even scientists researching into artificial intelligence.47. Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife.48. I thought, at the time, that this was just a story but then I witnessed it with my own eyes many times.49. On the afternoon I arrived at the station, as I was I sorting out my accommodation, I heard a loud noise coming from the bay.50. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal opposite us throwing itself out of the water and then crashing down again.51. This was the call that announced there was about to be a whale hunt.52. I had already heard that George didnt like being kept waiting, so even though I didnt have the right clothes on, I raced after him.53. Without pausing we jumped into the boat with the other whalers and headed out into the bay.54. As we drew closer, I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers.55. And those others are stopping it diving or fleeing out to sea, George told me, pointing towards the hunt. And just at that moment, the most extraordinary thing happened.56. Then the harpoon was ready and the man in the bow of the boat aimed it at the whale. He let it go and the harpoon hit the spot. Being badly wounded, the whale soon died.57. Within a moment or two, its body was dragged swiftly by the killers down into the depths of the sea. The men started turning the boat around to go home.58. There was one day when we were out in the bay during a hunt and James was washed off the boat.59. The waves were carrying James further and further away from us.60. From Jamess face, I could see he was terrified of being abandoned by us.61. It took over half an hour to get the boat back to James, and when we approached him, I saw James being firmly held up in the water by Old Tom.62. Im sitting in the warm night air with a cold drink in my hand and reflecting on the day a day of pure magic! I went snorkelling on the reef offshore this morning and it was the most fantastic thing I have ever done. Seeing such extraordinary beauty, I think every cell in my body woke up.63. The first thing I became aware of was all the vivid colours surrounding me - pu
