very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he
ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.
It was difficult to coordinate(协调) our steps - his slow, mine impatient -- and because of that, we didn"t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to
adjust to you. "
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or
able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough
for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still
don" t know accurately(精确地) what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don"t have one myself.
Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way.
I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball
(poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too. And when I came home on leave, he
saw to it that(务必保证、一定) I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never
said aloud.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness
to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how
unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious
of another"s good fortune, when I don"t have a "good heart".
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace, I will try to
adjust to you."

when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have
discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who
appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don"t get to see this soft side of others.Often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we
stop pretending we"re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that"s in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning(按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in
twentyfour years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and
doing the best I can."And everyone understood.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn"t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don"t feel that way.But those
are few and far between.More often,it would be better if we don"t pretend we feel strong when we feel
weak or pretend that we are brave when we"re scared.

costumes,drawing both curious groups and criticism.The theme park,near Kunming City in Yunnan
Province,employs 108 dwarfs from across the country,who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to
dance and sing for tourists.And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.
The guests can watch shows like comedies,group dance and acrobatics.The show"s centerpiece,a
funny performance of Swan Lake,sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be

correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as
journalists.
Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings. They cover events
such as court cases, plays, and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what
is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not
want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters
sometimes phone or email their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A
reporter in the office then writes the story.
A "stringer" is a parttime reporter who works when called on. A fire might break out in one part
of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story.
Reporters often work with photographers, or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures
that illustrate (图解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to
appear with the story.
A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he
or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries
to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news.
An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters"
stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the frontpage
headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write
editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue.
