  Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare   1   involving her nerve system. She was unable to walk and her movement was   2   in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold much   3   of her ever recovering from this illness. They  4   she’d spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. They said that few, if any, were able to come back to   5   after suffering from this disease. The little girl was   6. There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was   7   going to be walking again someday.

  She was moved to a specialized   8   hospital in the San Francisco Bay. Whatever   9   could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were attracted by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imagining about seeing herself walking. If it would do nothing else, it would at least give her hope and something   10   to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatment, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her imagining, visualizing herself moving, moving, moving! 

  One day, as she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something   11   happened：the bed moved！It began to move around the room！She   12   out，“Look what I’m doing！Look！Look！I can do it. I moved！I moved！”

  Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running for cover. People were screaming, equipment was   13   and glass was breaking. You see, it was the recent San Francisco earthquake. But don’t tell that to Angela. She’s   14   that she did it.

  And now only a few years later, she’s back in school, on her own   15  . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can’t they?

Ⅴ. 阅读理解

  One-hundred-and-seventh birthdays aren’t usually celebrated for authors who aren’t alive anymore. But Theodor Seuss Geisel — better known as the children’s books author Dr. Seuss —who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.

  Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children it’s not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:

  You have brains in your head

  You have feet in your shoes

  You can steer yourself any direction you choose

  And will you succeed?

  Yes indeed, yes indeed! 

  Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.

  Seuss’s brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they appeal most to children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.

  The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax “who speaks for the trees” battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods “which everyone needs”.

  It’s not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it’s also a smart analysis of consumer societies: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. ” This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want.

I could go on, but hey, it’s a birthday, and I’m sure you folks have some good toasts to raise for the party. . .
