Nadya Vessey, of Auckland, New Zealand, was born with an illness. So at the age of 16,       of her legs below the knees were cut off. One day when a little boy was watching _    take off  her prosthetic(假體的)legs, he asked her       she didn't have any legs.  Thinking quickly she asked him whether he had read The Little Mermaid（美人魚）．He said“_   ．”So Nadya told him that she was a mermaid. The Little boy was         and said,"Wow! That's so cool!” And then he ran off to tell his Dad.
The       of becoming a mermaid became clearer and clearer in Nadya's mind. After       it over, she wrote to Weta Workshop in Wellington to ask if they could     her. She never believed they actually would, so she was excited when she knew they_  _. Weta workshop's manager, Richard Taylor, was very pleased to make it true, and wanted Nadya to be _   .
It took Weta Workshop two years to make a special     for Nadya. "A prosthetic is a prosthetic, and your body has to be comfortable       it and you have to make it part of        ". After practicing in the       , Nadya went to the open sea to try on her mermaid suit. It was         amazing and great to watch Nadya swim, and to see her dream come true.

After she finished high school, she took a two-year Hotel and Restaurant Management course because she had enjoyed cooking since she was a little girl.
Mary didn’t shy away from the attention when she was reported on television. “I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it’s          to live a normal life,” Mary says. “It is difficult to make a living, but I don’t lose hope. I believe nothing is impossible if you dream and work hard.

“Father, that’s a bad sign,” cried the boy. “Please don’t go hunting today.”
“You are silly!” said the father. “That’s a good sign. ‘L’ means ‘Luck’.”
The father went to a mountain lake. There were thirteen wild ducks on the lake! Twelve were playing in the water, and the thirteenth was sleeping beside a rock..
“Great!” the hunter aimed at one of the ducks.
“Bang!” went the shot. Ah, but as the gun barrel was crooked(彎曲), the bullet went zigzag, zigzag, hitting all the twelve ducks in the water and then hitting the thirteenth sleeping duck.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person. When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest. The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled(毀壞) them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(淺的) roots(根), and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak(橡樹)and instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now. I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈禱) that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.
小題1: We know from the passage, the doctor______.
A．didn't know how to plant trees at all
B．wasn't good at his own medical job
C．had his own ways of planting trees
D．had nothing to do but plant trees
小題2: When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early on.", he meant that______.
A．some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning
B．he would choose the weak trees to water earlier
C．the weak trees would be sent to his patients later
D．he would not plant weak trees so early anymore
小題3: The passage tells us that the writer______.
A．should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
B．didn't often water his trees
C．didn't have a large field
D．took too much care of his trees
小題4:The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that______.
A．his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs'
B．his trees will not be beaten down
C．his sons will be better at planting trees
D．his sons will be able to face difficulties
小題5:Which can be the best title of the reading?
A．Watering TreesB．Growing Roots
C．Doctor and his NeighborD．Father and his Children
