This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way

11、 into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning,

12、 he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical（ 相 同 的 ）to my dog. I ran myfingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with

13、a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, lik

14、e mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers c

15、all returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone - 5 -knew I could not read. But I had read it.

My Passion for ReadingBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（ 诊 所 ） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I co

21、uld not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be - 7 -able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “

22、you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get

23、 much education. But Louis didnt giveup. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots （ 点 ） , which opened up a whole new world ofknowledge to the blind.Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I co

24、mpleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didnt expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me th

28、ench, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or th

29、eir favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activitie

30、s. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily

31、, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.- 9 -After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing wh

32、en to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.

36、n, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.

37、, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. Thesecond group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group kne

38、w they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文 件 夹 ). Surprisingly, people later rememb

39、ered the folder location (位 置 ) better than the facts. When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互 记忆 )“.According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet
