I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once  1  and did not know the  2  very well. I was on the  3  after I had made some enquires.

    At Ashville, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to  4  several hills and was dangerous. I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be  5  .

    Something strange happened after I drove a long  6  and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to  7  , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the  8  that I had made the  9   mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it  10 , I decided to go on. “If  11  people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I  12    myself.

The short cut, to my surprise, was not that  13 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,  14  up and down two low  15 . There was  16  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and  17   with cows and horses. My fear was  18  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立體聲), I drove on and  19  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me  20 . It was just in this light-heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

I felt sadly yesterday when our teacher told us something about the Project Hope in class. It has set up to help the children in the countryside who can't pay to go to school. After school I came home. I was wondering if I could do something for the Project then I caught sight of money－collecting box on the table. Then I made up my minds to send my pocket money which I had saved for almost one year to the children who wanted to go to school. I wrote a letter to them and hurried to the post office. Together with the letter I posted the money and sent with my best wishes to them.

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.
“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darryl Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”
“Yes, I have a son,” I answered.
“Why are you so little?” he asked.
“It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand, and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf. Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have — a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
【小題1】.. Why did the mother apologize to the author?

A．Because the boy ran into the author.
B．Because the boy laughed at the author.
C．Because the boy said the author was fatter than him.

【小題2】. When did the author realize that she was too short?
A．When she began to go to school.B．When she was 47 years old.
C．When she grew up.D．When she met the boy in the supermarket.
【小題3】. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “diminished”?
A．dismissedB．increasedC．decreasedD．discriminated
