I was fifteen months old, a happy kid until the day I fell. It was a    1    fall. I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to make it blind. Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched（縫合） the eyeball together where it was    2   , leaving a big ugly scar（疤痕） in the middle of my eye. The attempt    3   , but my mother, in all of her wisdom, found another doctor who knew that if the eye were removed    4   , my face would grow up badly distorted（扭曲）,    5    my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me. As I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways    6    me.

I walked with my face looking at the    7    so that people would not see the    8  me. Yet my mother would say to me, at every turn, “Hold your head up high and    9    the world. If you hold your head up high, it will be OK, and people will see your    10    soul.” She continued this    11    whenever I was trying to hide.

Mama’s words were of great help for me to face the world    12   . As a teenager, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they    13    me. In high school, I was    14    both academically and socially. I was    15    elected class president. My mother’s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them   16    the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes, even if they couldn’t see it on the    17   .

Now I’m a happy wife and great mother. The message “Hold your head up high,” has been  18    many times in my    19    home. Each of my children has felt    20   Invitation, and the gift my mother gave me has lived on in another generation.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Motherhood is a career to respect

　　A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

　　“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”

　　“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”

　　“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

　　One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.

　　The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究員) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

　　The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

　　I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (聲明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

　　“Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”

　　Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

　　There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

　　As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激勵(lì)) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.

　　Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

　　I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”

　　Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?

　　A. Cold-hearted.　　　　B. Open-minded.

　　C. Puzzled. 　　　　　　D. Interested.

How many children does the writer have?

　　A. 3　　　 B. 4 　　　C. 7　　　 D. 13

Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?

　　A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.

　　B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.

　　C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.

　　D. Because she admired the writer's research work.

What is the point of the article?

　　A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.

　　B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.

　　C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.

　　D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
