A
I was born an albino．No one in my family had ever known what an albino was，what it meant to be an albino，and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.
My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself，so when the annoyances came along，I could deal with them.
Actually，my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Kids would tease me，asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”. Like most albinos，I had terrible eyesight，and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine. movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.
The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad，I couldn"t play sports very well. I di
dn"t give up trying，though. And I studied harder. Eventually，I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring，going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extracurricular activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.I couldn"t see well enough to play spots，but with a solid education and the drive to do it，I could make a living involved in the field I loved. I"ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video，and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I"m the only “blind editor” they know，but most of the time
the jokes are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties，gain confidence，and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments.
56．According to the passage，an albino refers to a person__________．
A．who has bad eyesight B．who is born with white skin and hair
C．who looks older than his age D．who joins the circus
57．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The fact that the author was born an albino．
B．The way that the author"s parents treated him．
C．What had to be done differently to the author．
D．The fact that the author had no idea what an albino was．
58．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Despite his bad eyesight，the author played sports well．
B．The author paid adult prices for movies when he was still young．
C．The author"s study was affected by his eyesight at first．
D．“Albino” has already become a positive word now．
59．In the passage，the author intends to tell us___________．
A．actually being an albino helped him achieve success
B．how an albino studied well
C．what it is like to be an albino
D．how people should treat an albino

This week，We talk about the application process for American colleges and universities．This is Part Eight in our Foreign Student Series．Earlier，we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world．We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States．
71 But if your goal is to come to the United States to study，then it is time to make a list of colleges of universities that interest you． 72 Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools．
Some students want to attend a small college．Others want to go to a big university．That university in Columbus．Ohio，in the Midwest，has almost fifty-two thousand students．There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries．Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Web site． 73 Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment．
Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online．You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies． 74 But answering all the questions is not enough．Another important step is taking admissions tests．The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take． 75 Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL—the Test of English as a Foreign Language．
| A．Completing a college application can take some time． |
| B．You can pay the application charge online with a credit card． |
| C．Another one is the ACT． |
| D．If a really big university appeals to you，then there aye ones like Ohio State． |
F．And we talked about programs that can be completed online．

Linda Evans was my best friend －like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time －like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Linda and whose last name was Wagman－ Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won’t lose each other again!
