　　Until+I+was+ten+years+old+I+was+the+same+as+everyone+else.+I+used+to+climb+trees,+swim+and+play+football.+In+fact,+I+used+to+dream+about+playing+professional+football+and+possibly+representing+my+country+in+the+World+Cup.+Then+I+started+to+get+weaker+and+weaker,+until+I+could+only+enjoy+football+from+a+bench+at+the+stadium.+In+the+end+I+went+into+hospital+for+medical+tests.+I+stayed+there+for+nearly+three+months.+I+think+I+had+at+least+a+billion+tests,+including+one+in+which+they+cut+out+a+piece+of+muscle+from+my+leg+and+looked+at+it+under+a+microscope.+Even+after+all+that,+no+one+could+give+my+disease+a+name+and+it+is+difficult+to+know+what+the+future+holds.

　　One+problem+is+that+I+don't+look+any+different+from+other+people.+So+sometimes+some+children+in+my+primary+school+would+laugh,+when+I+got+out+of+breath+after+running+a+short+way+or+had+to+stop+and+rest+halfway+up+the+stairs.+Sometimes,+too,+I+was+too+weak+to+go+to+school+so+my+education+suffered.+Every+time+I+returned+after+an+absence,+I+felt+stupid+because+I+was+behind+the+others.

　　My+life+is+a+lot+easier+at+high+school+because+my+fellow+students+have+accepted+me.+The+few+who+cannot+see+the+real+person+inside+my+body+do+not+make+me+annoyed,+and+I+just+ignore+them.+All+in+all+I+have+a+good+life.+I+am+happy+to+have+found+many+things+I+can+do,+like+writing+and+computer+programming.+My+ambition+is+to+work+for+a+firm+that+develops+computer+software+when+I+grow+up.+Last+year+invented+a+computer+football+game+and+a+big+company+has+decided+to+buy+it+from+me.+I+have+a+very+busy+life+with+no+time+to+sit+around+feeling+sorry+for+myself.+As+well+as+going+to+the+movies+and+football+matches+with+my+friends,+I+spend+a+lot+of+time+with+my+pets.+I+have+two+rabbits,+a+parrot,+a+tank+full+of+fish+and+a+tortoise.+To+look+after+my+pets+properly+takes+a+lot+of+time+but+I+find+it+worthwhile.+I+also+have+to+do+a+lot+of+work,+especially+if+I+have+been+away+for+a+while.

　　In+many+ways+my+disability+has+helped+me+grow+stronger+psychologically+and+become+more+independent.+I+have+to+work+hard+to+live+a+normal+life+but+it+has+been+worth+it.+If+I+had+a+chance+to+say+one+thing+to+healthy+children,+it+would+be+this:+having+a+disability+does+not+mean+your+life+is+not+satisfying.+So+don't+feel+sorry+for+the+disabled+or+make+fun+of+them,+and+don't+ignore+them+either.+Just+accept+them+for+who+they+are,+and+give+them+encouragement+to+live+as+rich+and+full+a+life+as+you+do.

　　Thank+you+for+reading+my+story.

　　马丁的故事

　　嗨,我的名字是马丁。费尔丁和我猜你会说我是“万中挑一。换句话说,没有很多象我这样的人。你看,我有一个肌肉疾病,这使我很弱,所以我不会跑或爬楼梯,就像其他的人。此外,有时我很笨手笨脚下降,事物或撞到家具。不幸的是,医生们不知道如何让自己变得更美好,但我非常的友好,并且已经学会适应我的障碍。我的座右铭是:过好生活中的每一天。

　　直到我十岁的时候我相同于其他人一样。我过去爬树,游泳和踢足球。事实上,我常常渴望发挥专业足球,可能代表我的国家在世界杯上的表现。然后我开始变得虚弱,直到我能只喜欢足球长凳上在体育馆里。最后我走进医院医疗试验。我在那儿呆了将近三个月了。我想我至少有10亿测试,包括在其中,他们剪断出块肌肉从我的腿而且看一看在显微镜下观察。即使听完了所有,没人能给我的病一个名字,很难知道以后会发生什么吧。”

　　所面临的一个问题是我看起来不任何与别人不同。所以有时候有些孩子会笑我的小学,我走出跑步后呼吸短角球,不得不停下来休息爬到楼梯的一半。有时我太弱,所以我去学校教育的痛苦。每次我回来,我感到在离开笨,是因为我是在别人后面了。

　　我的生活是很容易在高中,因为同学们已经接受了我。那些无法看到真正的人,在我的身体不使我很烦,我对它们不予理会。总之我有一个好的生活。我很高兴地发现许多事情我能做的事,比如写作和计算机编程。我的愿望是为一家公司工作开展计算机软件,当我长大。去年我发明了一种计算机的足球比赛和一个大公司决定购买我。我有一个非常忙碌的生活没有时间坐着为自己难过。以及在看电影和橄榄球场比赛,我的朋友,我花很多时间和我的宠物。我有两只兔子,一只鹦鹉,一辆坦克满了鱼和一只乌龟。照看我的宠物正确需要很多的时间,而且我发现它值得的。我也要做很多工作,特别是我已经离开一会儿。

　　在很多方面,我的残疾使我更强的心理,会变得更加独立。我必须努力工作来过一个正常的生活了,但是它是值得的。如果我有机会说一件事对健康的孩子,那就是:有残疾并不意味着你目前的生活很不满意。所以不要惋惜身心障碍者或取笑他们,不要忽略这些标准。只接受他们,给他们鼓励丰富的生活让你的生活。

　　谢谢你读我的故事。

　　SATISFACTION+GURANTEED

　　Larry+Belmont+worked+for+a+company+that+made+robots.+Recently+it+had+begun+experimenting+with+a+household+robot.+It+was+going+to+be+tested+out+by+Larry's+wife,+Claire.

　　Claire+didn't+want+the+robot+in+her+house,+especially+as+her+husband+would+be+absent+for+three+weeks,+but+Larry+persuaded+her+that+the+robot+wouldn't+harm+her+or+allow+her+to+be+harmed.+It+would+be+a+bonus.+However,+when+she+first+saw+the+robot,+she+felt+alarmed.+His+name+was+Tony+and+he+seemed+more+like+a+human+than+a+machine.+He+was+tall+and+handsome+with+smooth+hair+and+a+deep+voice+although+his+facial+expression+never+changed.

　　On+the+second+morning+Tony,+wearing+an+apron,+brought+her+breakfast+and+then+asked+her+whether+she+needed+help+dressing.+She+felt+embarrassed+and+quickly+told+him+to+go.+It+was+disturbing+and+frightening+that+he+looked+so+human.

　　One+day,+Claire+mentioned+that+she+didn't+think+she+was+clever.+Tony+said+that+she+must+feel+very+unhappy+to+say+that.+Claire+thought+it+was+ridiculous+to+be+offered+sympathy+by+a+robot.+But+she+began+to+trust+him.+She+told+him+how+she+was+overweight+and+this+made+her+feel+unhappy.+Also+she+felt+her+home+wasn't+elegant+enough+for+someone+like+Larry+who+wanted+to+improve+his+social+position.+She+wasn't+like+Gladys+Claffern,+one+of+the+richest+and+most+powerful+women+around.

　　As+a+favour+Tony+promised+to+help+Claire+make+herself+smarter+and+her+home+more+elegant.+So+Claire+borrowed+a+pile+of+books+from+the+library+for+him+to+read,+or+rather,+scan.+She+looked+at+his+fingers+with+wonder+as+they+turned+each+page+and+suddenly+reached+for+his+hand.+She+was+amazed+by+his+fingernails+and+the+softness+and+warmth+of+his+skin.+How+absurd,+she+thought.+He+was+just+a+machine.

　　Tony+gave+Claire+a+new+haircut+and+changed+the+makeup+she+wore.+As+he+was+not+allowed+to+accompany+her+to+the+shops,+he+wrote+out+a+list+of+items+for+her.+Claire+went+into+the+city+and+bought+curtains,+cushions,+a+carpet+and+bedding.+Then+she+went+into+a+jewellery+shop+to+buy+a+necklace.+When+the+clerk+at+the+counter+was+rude+to+her,+she+rang+Tony+up+and+told+the+clerk+to+speak+to+him.+The+clerk+immediately+changed+his+attitude.+Claire+thanked+Tony,+telling+him+that+he+was+a+"dear".+As+she+turned+around,+there+stood+Gladys+Claffern.+How+awful+to+be+discovered+by+her,+Claire+thought.+By+the+amused+and+surprised+look+on+her+face,+Claire+knew+that+Gladys+thought+she+was+having+an+affair.+After+all,+she+knew+Claire's+husband's+name+was+Larry,+not+Tony.

　　When+ Claire+got+home,+she+wept+with+anger+in+her+armchair.+Gladys+was+everything+Claire+wanted+to+be.+"You+can+be+like+her,"+Tony+told+her+and+suggested+that+she+invite+Gladys+and+her+friends+to+the+house+the+night+before+he+was+to+leave+and+Larry+was+to+return.+By+that+time,+Tony+expected+the+house+to+be+completely+transformed.

　　Tony+worked+steadily+on+the+improvements.+Claire+tried+to+help+once+but+was+too+clumsy.She+fell+off+a+ladder+and+even+though+Tony+was+in+the+next+room,+he+managed+to+catch+her+in+time.+He+held+her+firmly+in+his+arms+and+she+felt+the+warmth+of+his+body.+She+screamed,+pushed+him+away+and+ran+to+her+room+for+the+rest+of+the+day.

　　The+night+of+the+party+arrived.+The+clock+struck+eight.+The+guests+would+be+arriving+soon+and+Claire+told+Tony+to+go+into+another+room.At+that+moment,+Tony+folded+his+arms+around+her,+bending+his+face+close+to+hers.+She+cried+out+"Tony"+and+then+heard+him+declare+that+he+didn't+want+to+leave+her+the+next+day+and+that+he+felt+more+than+just+the+desire+to+please+her.+Then+the+front+door+bell+rang.+Tony+freed+her+and+disappeared+from+sight.+It+was+then+that+Claire+realized+that+Tony+had+opened+the+curtains+of+the+front+window.+Her+guests+had+seen+everything+!

　　The+women+were+impressed+by+Claire,+the+house+and+the+delicious+cuisine.+Just+before+they+left,+Claire+heard+Gladys+whispering+to+another+woman+that+she+had+never+seen+anyone+so+handsome+as+Tony.+What+a+sweet+victory+to+be+envied+by+those+women!+She+might+not+be+as+beautiful+as+them,+but+none+of+them+had+such+a+handsome+lover.

　　Then+she+remembered+-Tony+was+just+a+machine.+She+shouted+"Leave+me+alone"+and+ran+to+her+bed.+She+cried+all+night.+The+next+morning+a+car+drove+up+and+took+Tony+away.

　　The+company+was+very+pleased+with+Tony's+report+on+his+three+weeks+with+Claire.+Tony+had+protected+a+human+being+from+harm.+He+had+prevented+Claire+from+harming+herself+through+her+own+sense+of+failure.+He+had+opened+the+curtains+that+night+so+that+the+other+women+would+see+him+and+Claire,+knowing+that+there+was+no+risk+to+Claire's+marriage.+But+even+though+Tony+had+been+so+clever,+he+would+have+to+be+rebuilt+-you+cannot+have+women+failing+in+love+with+machines.

　　拉里·贝尔蒙特努力,这家公司制造的机器人。最近就已经开始了实验一种家居机器人。这将是检验被拉里的妻子,克莱儿。

　　克莱儿不想要那个机器人在她的房子,尤其是当她的丈夫缺席三周,但是拉里·说服她或让她受到损坏。它将是次要的。然而,当她第一次看到这个机器人,她感到惊恐。他的名字是托尼和他的情绪看起来更像人类比机器。他身材高大英俊的光滑的头发和一种低沉的声音虽然他的面部表情永不改变。

　　在第二天早晨托尼,穿着围裙,把早饭,然后问她是否需要帮助调料。她感到很尴尬,立刻告诉他去。这是干扰或可怕的,因为他看上去那么人体。

　　有一天,克莱儿提到她不认为她是很聪明的。托尼说,她必须感到不悦说那种话。克莱儿认为太荒谬了用机器人得到同情。但她开始信任他。她告诉他她是如何超重,这使她感觉很不高兴。她觉得她的家也不优雅的足够的某球员,像赖瑞想提高他的社会地位。她根本不喜欢格拉Claffern,其中一个富裕,最强大的女人身边。

　　当厚待托尼答应帮助克莱儿使自己更聪明,她的家更优美。所以Claise借来一叠图书馆借书让他看,或者更确切地说,扫描。她看着他的手指奇迹,因为他们把每一页,突然了他的手。她惊讶的是他的手指甲和疲软的亲切和他的皮肤。太荒谬,她想。他只是一个机器。

　　托尼给克莱儿个新发型,改变了妆她戴着。当他不被允许陪她到商店去,他开列了一列项目。克莱儿进了城,买了窗帘、座垫、地毯到床上用品。然后她走进一家珠宝商店买了一条项链。当职员在柜台边是粗鲁无礼的她,她就响了托尼了起来对工作人员与他说话。店员立刻改变了他的态度。克莱儿感谢托尼,告诉他说,他是一个“亲爱的”。她转过身来,Claffern格拉站在那里。太可怕了,将会发现了他,克莱儿思想。愉快,让他的脸上神情诧异,克莱儿知道格拉以为她有外遇。毕竟,她知道克莱儿的丈夫的名字是赖瑞,而不是托尼。

　　当克莱儿一回家,她哭了怒火在扶手椅里。格拉是一切克莱儿想要做的。“你可以像她一样”,托尼告诉她,建议她邀请格雷迪斯家和她的朋友们一起前一天晚上他离开和拉里·是归还。到那个时候,托尼预期的房屋被完全改变。

　　托尼曾稳步地改进。克莱儿试图帮助一次,但太笨了。她从梯子上掉下来摔,尽管托尼在隔壁房间,他还是设法逮住了她。他握着她的坚信他的手臂和她感到温暖的他的身体。她尖叫道,把他推开,跑去她的房间,其余时间。

　　聚会的夜晚来了。那个钟敲了八。客人会快到了,克莱儿告诉托尼去到另一个房间里。那一刻,托尼胳臂交叉双臂抱着她,弯曲他的脸接近她的。她大声呼喊”托尼。”然后听见他宣布,他不想离开她的第二天,他感到很不只是希望取悦她。然后前门铃就响了。托尼释放了她,渐渐消失了。就在那时,克莱儿意识到托尼开了窗帘的橱窗。她的客人已经看见了这一切情景!

　　妇女们留下深刻的印象,克莱儿,房子和丰富的菜。就在他们走了,克莱儿听到格拉跟另一个女人,她从未见过这么英俊,托尼。多可爱的胜利让人嫉妒的女人!她很可能不一样漂亮,但是没有一个有这样一个英俊的情人。

　　然后她记得——托尼只是一个机器。她喊道“让我单独”,跑去她的床上。她整晚哭着。第二天早晨,一辆车开并把托尼离开。

　　公司非常高兴托尼的报告在他的3周,克莱儿。托尼保护着人类受到伤害。他妨碍了克莱儿危害自己通过她自己的失败感。他就已经开了窗帘那天晚上,使女性都见他,并且克莱儿,知道没有风险克莱儿的婚事。但是,尽管托尼很聪明,他还得被建造-你不能有妇女会爱上机器。

　　I+was+16+when+I+began+work+in+June+1902+at+the+whaling+station.+I+had+heard+of+the+killers+that+every+year+helped+whalers+catch+huge+whales.+I+thought,+at+the+time,+that+this+was+just+a+story+but+then+I+witnessed+it+with+my+own+eyes+many+times.

　　On+the+afternoon+I+arrived+at+the+station,+as+I+was+I+sorting+out+my'+accommodation,+I+heard+a+loud+noise+coming+from+the+bay.+We+ran+down+to+the+shore+in+time+to+see+an+enormous+animal+opposite+us+throwing+itself+out+of+the+water+and+then+crashing+down+again.+It+was+black+and+white+and+fish-shaped.+But+I+knew+it+wasn't+a+fish.

　　"That's+Old+Tom,+the+killer,"+one+of+the+whalers,+George,+called+out+to+me.+"He's+telling+us+there's+a+whale+out+there+for+us."

　　Another+whaler+yelled+out,+"Rush-oo+...rush-oo."+This+was+the+call+that+announced+there+was+about+to+be+a+whale+hunt.

　　"Come+on,+Clancy.+To+the+boat,"+George+said+as+he+ran+ahead+of+me.+I+had+already+heard+that+George+didn't+like+being+kept+waiting,+so+even+though+I+didn't+have+the+right+clothes+on,+I+raced+after+him.

　　Without+pausing+we+jumped+into+the+boat+with+the+other+whalers+and+headed+out+into+the+bay.+I+looked+down+into+the+water+and+could+see+Old+Tom+swimming+by+the+boat,+showing+us+the+way.+A+few+minutes+later,+there+was+no+Tom,+so+George+started+beating+the+water+with+his+oar+and+there+was+Tom,+circling+back+to+the+boat,+leading+us+to+the+hunt+again.

　　Using+a+telescope+we+could+see+that+something+was+happening.+As+we+drew+closer,+I+could+see+a+whale+being+attacked+by+a+pack+of+about+six+other+killers.

　　"What're+they+doing?"+I+asked+George.

　　"Well,+it's+teamwork+-+the+killers+over+there+are+throwing+themselves+on+top+of+the+whale's+blow-hole+to+stop+it+breathing.+And+those+others+are+stopping+it+diving+or+fleeing+out+to+sea,"+George+told+me,+pointing+towards+the+hunt.+And+just+at+that+moment,+the+most+extraordinary+thing+happened.+The+killers+started+racing+between+our+boat+and+the+whale+just+like+a+pack+of+excited+dogs.

　　Then+the+harpoon+was+ready+and+the+man+in+the+bow+of+the+boat+aimed+it+at+the+whale.+He+let+it+go+and+the+harpoon+hit+the+spot.+Being+badly+wounded,+the+whale+soon+died.+Within+a+moment+or+two,+its+body+was+dragged+swiftly+by+the+killers+down+into+the+depths+of+the+sea.+The+men+started+turning+the+boat+around+to+go+home.

　　"What's+happened?"+I+asked.+"Have+we+lost+the+whale?"

　　"Oh+no,"+Jack+replied.+"We'll+return+tomorrow+to+bring+in+the+body.+It+won't+float+up+to+the+surface+for+around+24+hours."+"In+the+meantime,+Old+Tom,+and+the+others+are+having+a+good+feed+on+its+lips+and+tongue,"+added+Red,+laughing.

　　Although+Old+Tom+and+the+other+killers+were+fierce+hunters,+they,+never+harmed+or+attacked+people.+In+fact,+they+protected+them.+There+was+one+day+when+we+were+out+in+the+bay+during+a+hunt+and+James+was+washed+off+the+boat.

　　"Man+overboard!+Turn+the+boat+around!"+urged+George,+shouting+loudly.

　　The+sea+was+rough+that+day+and+it+was+difficult+to+handle+the+boat.+The+waves+were+carrying+James+further+and+further+away+from+us.+From+James's+face,+I+could+see+he+was+terrified+of+being+abandoned+by+us.+Then+suddenly+I+saw+a+shark.

　　"Look,+there's+a+shark+out+there,"+I+screamed.

　　"Don't+worry,+Old+Tom+won't+let+it+near,"+Red+replied.

　　It+took+over+half+an+hour+to+get+the+boat+back+to+James,+and+when+we+approached+him,+I+saw+James+being+firmly+held+up+in+the+water+by+Old+Tom.+I+couldn't+believe+my+eyes.

　　There+were+shouts+of+"Well+done,+Old+Tom"+and+'Thank+God"+as+we+pulled+James+back+into+the+boat.+And+then+Old+Tom+was+off+and+back+to+the+hunt+where+the+other+killers+were+still+attacking+the+whale.

　　Unit+3+ Under+the+sea

　　我16岁当我开始工作在1902年6月捕鲸站。我听说过杀手,每年都帮助捕鲸者抓住巨大的鲸鱼。我想,在那个时候,这只是一个故事,而是那我亲眼目睹了许多次。

　　下午我到达车站时,我整理我准备膳宿时,我听到一声巨响从海湾传来。我们跑到海边看到一个巨大的动物对我们置身出了水面,然后崩溃了。这是黑白fish-shaped。

　　不加思索我们跳进游艇和其他的捕鲸出海驶向入海湾。我低头朝水中看去,看到老汤姆正在船边游着,为我们引路。几分钟后,没有汤姆,乔治开始打水,和他的桨汤姆回到船上,环绕,引导我们去打猎了。

　　使用望远镜我们可以看出确实是发生了。当我们走近的时候,我能看鲸鱼遭到一群大约6其他杀手。凶手在那里正把自己最重要的鲸鱼的憋气停止呼吸。和那些人停止它跳水、逃离出海。乔治告诉我指着捕猎。就在那一刻,的最不可思议的事情发生了。凶手开始比赛我们的船和鲸鱼之间就像一群兴奋的狗。虽然老了汤姆和其他杀手非常激烈的猎人,他们从未错待过或攻击的人。事实上,他们保护他们。有一天,当我们在海湾在打猎和詹姆斯洗净了船。

　　海是粗糙的那一天,这使得我们很难处理的船。海浪携带着詹姆斯深入,离我们。从詹姆斯·的脸上,我可以看出来他在害怕被抛弃我们发挥的空间。我忽然看到鲨鱼。用了半个多小时的时间才把船划回到詹姆斯,而当我们走近他,我看到詹姆斯被牢牢地抓住了在水老汤姆。

　　我不敢相信我的眼睛。有“干得不错,有欢呼拯救的声音老汤姆","谢谢上帝”在我们把詹姆斯回到船上。然后老汤姆就跳下去,回到亨特,而其他杀手仍攻击鲸鱼。
