　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2015·汕头市普通高中模拟考试)I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a boxcar in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity (灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I

　　hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.

　　Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me — a potential to live, you might call it — which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.

　　The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I

　　hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become

　　a chair rocker on the front porch

　　for the rest of my

　　life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate (错综复杂的) pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

　　It took me years to discover and strengthen this

　　assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and

　　I was hurt. “I can't use this，” I said. “Take it with you，”he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head.“Roll it around！”By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.

　　All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

　　Dear Sir/Madam,

　　I'd like to apply for the post of assistant which was advertised in the newspaper. I found this position quite appealing to me.

　　I've just graduated from high school. Luckily I am good at English and I can speak English fluently. In addition, I have previous experience. During my stay in middle school, I used to be a volunteer and looked after the old people in a nursing home on weekends.

　　In short, I believe my experience and fluent oral English will be a great help for me in doing the work. I'm available for interview at any time. It would be appreciated if I can get your offer.

　　Yours sincerely，

　　Li Hua
