Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Amy. I am 9 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids
laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.
love, Amy At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Contest. When Amy's letter arrived at the radio station, manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special third grader and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.
The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the \Sentinel.\ers and radio and television stations reported the story of the little girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable, Christmas gift --- just one day without teasing.
Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy glimpsed a world full of people who truly cared about each other.
Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to carry her head high.
Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.
That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially proclaimed December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. \said the mayor, \and deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and warmth.\

1.Amy’s letter showed that_______.
A.her schoolmates cannot understand her disability B.her school isn’t a good place for students like her C.she is often ignored in and out of class D.she wanted to win Christmas Wish Contest
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推断题。从Amy的信中 ―Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy.‖可以知道，Amy 的同学嘲笑她走路和跑步的方式，由此可以推断Amy 是残疾人。故答案为A。
2.The postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house because _______.
A.he went to encourage Amy frequently B. he was quite curious about Amy C. he had to send letters to Amy daily D. he was moved by Amy’s story 答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推断题。从正文的第三段开始两句话―Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation.‖可知，每天有小孩和大人的不同大小的信件寄给Amy, 因此邮递员成了Hagadorn house的常客（regular），每天给Amy 送信。故答案为C。
3. We may infer from Amy’s story that__________. A. people are easy to turn their eyes to the disabled B. the news media played an important role in helping Amy C. Amy will still be made fun of by others D. there are few disabled people in Amy’s country
答案解析：答案为B。本题为推理题，考生需结合全文来进行推理和判断。文章后文提到Amy 受到社会的关注，包括市长The mayor都对Amy的事件发话，这一切都是因为第一段中电台的manager Lee Tobin对此事的关注和第二段中 ―…a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the \报纸对此事的报道。故答案为B。A选项为一般考生的易错项，意为 ―人们很容易关注残疾人‖并不是文章要阐述的内容。

wedding from New Year’s Eve to this Thursday so her mother, who has been fighting against cancer for 11 years, can take part in the ceremony, a family spokesman said on Wednesday, Oct, 12, 2013. Elizabeth Lally White, who turns 28 on Thursday, will

This year, she has had quite a few setbacks and they’ve been pretty well documented. Lally White decided to reschedule the wedding so that her mom can participate in the festivities (庆祝活动).‖ Heard said. Lally White is a doctoral candidate at De-Paul University
