The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often____about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤兒) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who____that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this____girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how could I help her____in with us? There had to be a____

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had____her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)____copy.

I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming____show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had____. “Why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted____the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough____. Could you help me, Suzy?”

On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s____were everywhere — all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n)____award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students____them.”

I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw____well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “____this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a____, too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student — Suzy Khan!”

Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.

I____, at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never____anything in her whole life.

Everyone started to____their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

When we know somewhere well, we say we “ know it like the back of our hand ”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.

Wider and shorter

Professor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指關(guān)節(jié)) were. They made some quite big mistakes.

“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger.

Sense of position

"It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight or not "he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain has maps — maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.

Strength of feeling

But these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of the skin. “Our brains ‘see” areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lots of nerves.

Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.

1.Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?

A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.

B. People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.

C. People were asked to draw their hands from memory

D. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’ length.

2.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The new experiment.

B. The mistake people made.

C. The sizes of fingers and hands.

D. The location information.

3.We can conclude from the article that ________.

A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are born

B. the maps of our body are based on information from nerves

C. our sense of position depends on the interaction between parts of the body

D. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position

4.We can infer from the article that ________.

A. there are more nerves in the finger than in the hand

B. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our nose

C. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers do

D. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect

Dear Peter,

I have received your e-mail. I am very exciting at the good news that you have admitted into Harvard. First I’d like to offer my congratulation to you on your great success.

Since you know, I’m busy preparing for the College Entrance Examination. Day after day I work very hard but have to stay up later doing piles of papers.

I would appreciate that if you could write back to me as soon as possible.
