17、He was badly crippled(跛脚)and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on(发泄). It was difficult to walk togetherhis steps were slow, my patience was out,
18、because of that, we didnt say much and we went along. But as we started, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he went to work, he went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day,even if others co
19、uld not. It was a matter of pride for him.When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk even with help.

20、he reached the lower steps that the tunnel air keptfree.

21、 grown man to suffer from such a shame and disability.

24、amp places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, but fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or water.

25、 best-known fungi. There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They commonly grow at the foot of trees.Squirrelsbread is another kind of wild mushroom.
26、 Its appearance and use account for the origin of its name. These fungi, look like small golden cakes.

31、 have a Noahs Ark, I dont doubt that you have pigeons(鸽子). Now that I wnat to know is, at what age nestling pigeons have their tail feathers sufficiently developed to be counted.

32、ect to ourselves, I have not much to say: we have a terribly noisy house with the whooping cough（百日咳）,but otherwise are all well. At the end of the year we had two of our little boys very ill with fever and bronchitis(支气管炎)，and all sorts of troubles. Partly for amusement, and partly for a change of
33、air, we went to London and took a house for a month, but it turned out a great failure, for that dreadful frost just set in when we went, and all our children got unwell, and my wife and I had coughs and colds and rheumatism(风湿病)nearly all the time.

39、 is sometimes placed among “situation vacant” although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted ” although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either.

41、importance of the curriculum vitae(or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own weight.There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average

The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggress
44、ive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for”, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job in view.There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university educati
