Do you know what Down Syndrome is? It's a disease in which an extra chromosome (染色體) causes a( n) 1 disability that makes it harder for one to learn things. When my mom first told me I had Down Syndrome,I was 2 that people would think I wasn't as smart as they were,or that I talked or looked 3 I just want to be like everyone else,so sometimes I wish I could 4 the extra chromosome.
Having Down Syndrome,however,doesn't make me feel too different. I am 5 of who I am. I am a hard worker,a good person,and I 6 about my friends. My 7 is also a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV,and I think about the 8 ,like who I'll marry. I get along well with my sisters 9 when they take my CDs without asking！
Sometimes it's hard being with 10 kids. For instance,I don't drive,but a lot of kids in my school do. I try not to let things like that 11 me and just think of all the good things in my life,such as the fact that I've published two 12 and right now someone else is 13 my songs.
It's true that I don't learn things as 14 as others,but that won't stop me from 15 . I just know that if I work really hard and be myself,I can do almost 16 .
I can't change the 17 that I have Down Syndrome,but one thing I would like to change is how people think of me. I'd tell them: 18 me as a whole person,not just the person you see. Treat me with 19 ,and accept me for who I am. Most importantly,just be my friend. 20 ,I would do the same for you.

1. B由下文that makes it harder for one to learn things可知，患有Down syndrome是一種"智力方面的"殘疾。
2. D從下文that people would think I wasn't as smart as they were來看，當媽媽最初告訴我我患有唐氏綜合征的時候，作者很擔心人們會另眼相看,所以選D.
3. A作者也很擔心自己說話或者看起來與別人不同。
4. D從上一句I just want to be like everyone else 來看，作者很希望自己也能像正常人一樣，所以希望把多余的那條染色體去掉,在這里用了很形象的說法"把它歸還回去"。

I just sat still and didn't say anything while my husband and I were informed that two-year-old Kristi was retarded (智力遲頓的) .
When Kristi was old enough to attend school,we enrolled her in our neighborhood school's kindergarten at age seven. However,positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school,and to her schoolmates,too. When boasting (自夸) of their own accomplishments,Kristi's classmates always praised her as well; "Kristi got all her spelling words right today." No one added that her spelling list was easier than anyone else's.
Dunng Kristi's second year in school,there was a competition based on the year's music and physical education activities. Kristi was far behind in both music and motor coordination (運動協(xié)調) .My husband and I feared the day as well.
On the day of the program,Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. But at last I pushed her onto the school bus.
Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. When it was time for Kristi' s group to perform, I knew why Kristi had been worried. Her class was divided into relay teams. With her limp and slow,clumsy reactions,she would surely hold up her team.
The performance went surprisingly well,until it was time for the gunnysack (黃麻袋) race. Now each child had to climb into a sack from a standing position,jump to a goal line,return and climb out of the sack.
Kristi stood near the end of her line of players,looking nervous.
But as Kristi's turn to participate neared,a change took place in her team. The tallest boy in the line stepped behind Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack,those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her neatly into it. A girl in front of Kristi took her hand and supported her briefly until Kristi gained her balance. Then off she jumped,smiling and proud.
In the cheers of teachers,schoolmates and parents,I secretly thanked God for the warm,understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.
( ) 5. In the gunnysack race the second player should first .
A. climb into a sack B. wait for another player

A. Four children helped Kristi in the gunnysack race.
B. Kristi went to kindergarten at the same age as other children.
C. The other children and teachers treated Kristi as a normal child.
D. Kristi was diagnosed to be retarded when she was two years old.
( ) 8. We can learn from the passage that .
A. if people are handicapped,people always treat them differently

Rx Laughter is a nonprofit international charity. We research and implement (carry out) initiatives (計劃，措施) that use comedy and humor in the most helpful and sensitive ways possible. Our primary focus is on helping people of all ages who are suffering from very serious physical and emotional traumas (創(chuàng)傷) .
Specifically,we believe that very funny standup comedy,movies and TV programs can be a very important,helpful part of medical,psychotherapeutic (心理療法的) ，educational and overall preventive health care from childhood through old age. We do this in uniquelydesigned ways,working closely with worldrenowned experts in the field of health care at major medical institutes internationally. Rx Laughter then puts these findings into practical usage. Briefly：
Medical：Through our collaborative projects with major medical institutes such as the UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center,the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Unit at the Mattel Children's Hospital? UCLA and The National Cancer Hospital & Adult Hospice in Thailand,we carefully design and implement research initiatives so that patients can be in less pain and have less fear,anxiety & depression―emotions that can overwhelm patients & their families during times of crisis.
Educational：Led by the national Comedy SportzLA teams,this comedy show at their theater gives patients an opportunity for renewed selfconfidence,to learn a new skill,and to feel like a whole person again,not "a medical condition".
Overall Preventive Care: With the rising costs of medical care and health insurance,preventive health care is more important than ever. If comedy viewing can keep us emotionally and physically healthier and help us deal with times of crisis in our lives,then we will have found a very potent,inexpensive prescription for healthy living.
Thus,we encourage comedy,music and other forms of upbeat entertainment for patients and their support system to enjoy together,and we research how best to do this,so that comedy shows can be "prescribed" as a proven benefit to maintaining excellent health.
Thank you for your interest in our charity.
