Barefoot (赤脚的) and dirty, the girl just sat there and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people        , but never did one person stop.
The next day, I decided to go back to the park, being curious if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very spot as she was the day before, she sat, with the         look on her face.
As I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl’s dress showed a deformity (畸形的). As I got closer, the little girl slightly          her eyes to avoid (避开) my stare.
I sat down beside her and opened with a simple        . The little girl stammered (结结巴巴地说) a hi. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked         darkness fell and the park was completely empty.
“Why are you so sad?”
She replied slowly, “Because I’m        .”
“Little girl,” I said in a soft voice, “You          me of an angel because of your difference.”
She stood to her feet excitedly, “Really?”
“Yes, that’s the thing. You’re like a little angel sent to watch over all those people walking by.”
She nodded her head and smiled, “       I am. And since you think of someone        yourself, my job here is done.”
What a big        ! I stood quickly, “Wait, so why did no one stop to help an angel?”
She bloomed(绽放) a big smile, “You’re the          one who could see me, because you care for others.” With those words, she spread her wings and flied away from my sight.
From then on, I believe I am not all I have, for there is an angel always          me. She is always watching over those who do good things for others.

Is getting a black belt(腰带) on your life’s to-do list? Then this elderly woman in San Francisco just might be your hero.
Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt --- the highest rank in Judo (柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who have earned the tenth-degree black belt. Throughout history, only 16 people have ever achieved this honor.
Fukuda began practicing Judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro.
At her teacher’s requirement, she learned English to help spread Judo internationally.
During a time when getting married, building a family and becoming a housewife were the norms(行为标准),Fukuda broke from tradition, continuing Judo instead of getting married.
“All I did was Judo ... This was my marriage,” Fukuda replied tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my destiny (命运) was set. I just imagined how long the road would be.”
She described the Jiguro’s school as “old-fashioned and sexist(性别歧视的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an edict(法令) that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for 30 years. She finally got the sixth degree in 1972 when a women’s division(分部)was created.
Fukuda thinks Judo and her life to be “gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda says this kind of beauty is not external(外在的). She explained. “I believe this inner beauty is true beauty… All my life this has been my dream.”
Her dream was turned into reality, and the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach Judo three times a week at a women’s Judo training center.
小题1:Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?
A.She is the first woman to achieve the highest rank in Judo.
B.It took her 30 years to get a tenth-degree black belt.
C.Her teacher wanted her to help spread Judo to other parts of the world.
D.Only one woman and fifteen men have ever earned the tenth-degree black belt in the history.
小题2:Why did Fukuda pursue(追求) Judo all her life?
A.To look for inner beauty.
B.To help Japan become stronger.
C.To spread Judo around the world.
D.To fight against tradition.
小题3:Which of the following best describes Fukuda according to the article?
A.TraditionalB.Popular
C.Determined (坚定的)D.Curious
