     I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard the young voice. 
     "Mom, come here! There's this lady here my size!"
     The mother rushed to her son; then she tumed to me to say "sorry".
     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 bom," 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. I stand 114 cm tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). 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 (辱罵
我). Then I knew I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always look fixedly
at me as I tried hard 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 (與眾不同) an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked (缺少) in height, I made
up for in personality.
     I'm 47 now,and people are surprised when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people
are not polite enough, I say to 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 the persons around them, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat
them in a friendly way.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容回答問題。
These days, many Chinese people are happy about a piece of news. What is it? China may become the second largest economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)體) in the world. It’s only behind the US.
But is China the second richest country, too?
No. The economy is like a cake. The US, Japan and China each makes one. China makes the second biggest cake. But lots of people have to eat it. Why? There are 1.3 billion people in China. And there are only 300 million people in the US and 127 million in Japan. So, in China, each person only gets a very, very small piece of cake. But people in the US and Japan have bigger pieces.
China is not as rich as the US and Japan. For example, in the US, in every 100 people, 75 can surf the Internet; in Japan it is 74 in 100. But in China, only 26 people in 100 use the Internet.
China’s large economy brings good things. People in China have more jobs and money. We also have more influence (影響) in the world.
【小題1】China is the second largest economy in the world, isn’t it?
                                                     
【小題2】Why isn’t China as rich as the US and Japan?
                                                     
【小題3】How many people in 100 can use the Internet in China?
                                                     
【小題4】Who can get bigger pieces of cake, Chinese or Americans?
                                                      
【小題5】China’s large economy brings good things. What are they?
