16、y two blocks away, it was not a pleasant walk with one small boy asleep in the pram (手推婴儿车), the other one in a raincoat and no umbrella for myself. A pick-up truck passed us on the road.

21、wice as fast as I do. I can never tell my left from my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can help it, because I sometimes have to try three times before getting the number right. I hear that recording “The number you have reached is not in service” more than any man on earth.Despite my weaknes

22、ses, I view my dyslexia (difficulty in reading) as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right brain, namely abstract thought, and that is why I can write creatively. Im starting with nothing and coming up with something that didnt exist before. Thats my strong point. I owe my career

23、to Ralph Salisbury, my writing instructor at the University of Oregon, who looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement and hope. I just carried on and never looked back. Im also very “visual”. This means nothing in school, but when I write books or scripts, Im seeing everything in my imagi

24、nation. I write quickly. I go like the wind and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the problem. I have no problem downloading; it is inputting where things get messed up.The real fear I have for dyslexics is not that they have to struggle with messy input, but that they will quit on themse

25、lves before they finish school. Parents have to create victories whenever they can, whether it is music, sports or the arts. You want our dyslexic child to be able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard.

30、state education is fundamentally disabled. Theres a notice on our local park gate, made by a local state primary school pupil, saying: “There is know such thing as the poo fairy.” What a good idea a campaign to encourage the dog-owners among us to pick up their dogs waste! And what an attractive and

31、 eye-catching poster! But “KNOW poo fairy”? Why didnt the teacher check the spelling before the post was completed and displayed before the public? Didnt he/she realize that bad spelling is a worry? Whats even worse, it could easily bring joy to Mr. Goves heart, because it seems to prove him right:

32、ordinary state schools are bad and academics are good. And the country may take his propaganda （宣传）seriously and show the panicky parents one bad spelling mistake from a non-academy school, suggesting that its filled with wild and unqualified staff. The parents then will be scared that their childre

33、n will be poorly educated, and must be marched straight into an academy an institution full of exam results and undemocratic management. Dont fall for it, parents. Like thousands of teachers in state schools, and local authorities, you can care about childrens education and standards of literacy, yo

34、u can even love Latin, without singing up to the Gove brigade (队列). Just because he has had an insight into our terrors and recognized our dreams, it does mean that he just knows how to take us in and what works in his favor. “That know poo teacher has scored an own goal,” says Fielding, “and put th

35、e state school at a seeming disadvantage.” Now youre in a dilemma here. Youre caught between your enthusiasm for accurate grammar and your well-meaning social responsibilities”.

41、ng. Chans latest film, American Dreams in China is a carefully-calculated (有计划的) film with an eye toward opening the mainland cinema market. American Dreams in China is a film purely for Chinese audiences, but how it plays there remains to be seen. It sends the right messages, but whether thats enou

42、gh to make it a hit is everyones guess. Mainland audiences arent quite that easy to “speak” to. The film began during the period of economic reforms in China in the 1980s. The bookish farm boy Cheng Dongqing(Huang Xiaoming) , the ambitious and confident boy Meng Xiaojun(Deng Chao) and the poetic Wan

43、g Yang (Tong Dawei), were three friends at university in Beijing and preparing for American visa interviews.

49、elationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 56 Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?57 With whom will you share things that

50、 you dont want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself.
