| I used to hate myself because I wasn't "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not __1__. I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much __2__ than others. I hated going to school and I hated people __3__ at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing __4__ and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the __5__ and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背). My friends found me __6__ because I didn't let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life __7__ Angela appeared. That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school-a spot where no one would __8__ me. That's when I first heard her voice. "Hi. Can I sit down?" I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face. "What are you looking at?" she asked. "Ants." "What are they doing?" "No __9__." "I bet they're playing games and making friends. Don't you think so?" That was how our __10__ started and it didn't stop. We talked about everything under the sun-the ants, the clouds, my little niche(处境)-until it was sunset. Then suddenly, she saw my __11__. She just stared. My heart __12__. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would __13__ me now. She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know __14__ your back is hunched." I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be __15__. I begged in my heart for her to __16__, but she just kept on going. "I know what you've got there. Do you?" "No," I answered __17__. She bent and whispered in my ears. "Your back is hunched because you've got a pair of wings from the angels." I was __18__. I looked into her eyes and her __19__ touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to __20__ myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kindhearted friend. | ||||

| "Tweenager" is the new term being used in the UK to describe kids at either 8-12 or 10-13 years old. More and more companies are beginning to create products and services for tweenagers. The Disney company sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. It's all about sales, which suggests that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they've ever had before. Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago.Parents have more money to give their kids than previously, since parents are having fewer children. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It's a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the pleas of their children. UK kids today are very media and computer literate. A lot of kids have a TV, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in singleparent families, so people now say that "kids are getting older younger". With such maturity at such a young age, it's no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations. UK tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. That's changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. Many tweenagers outgrow the bright colours and fashions of their tweenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious. Surely none of the above is a good thing. The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from explicitly marketing their products and services at children. |
