9、，my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say that I am“one in a million”In other words，there are not many people like me.You see，I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak1，so I cant run or climb stairs as quickly as other people.In addition，sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things o
10、r bump into furniture.Unfortunately，the doctors dont know how to make me better2，but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability.My motto is：live one day at a time.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
11、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
12、had at least a billion tests，including one in which3 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 holds4.One problem is that I dont look any different from other peop
13、le5.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 go6 to school so my education suffered.Every time7 I returned after an absence，I felt stupid because I was
14、behind the others.My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow21students have accepted me.The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed22，and I just ignore23them.All in all24 I have a good life.I am happy to have found many things8 I can do，like writing and
15、 computer programming.My ambition 25 is to work for a firm 26 that develops computer software27 when I grow up9.Last year I 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 around28 feeling sorry for myself10.As well as29 g

24、道如何治好我的病，但是我很开朗乐观，学会了适应身体的残疾。我的座右铭是：活一天算一天。十岁以前，我跟其他人是一样的。我常常爬树、游泳、踢足球。说实在的，我过去常常梦想我会成为职业球员，代表我的国家参加世界杯足球赛。后来，我的身体开始变得越来越虚弱，以至于只能坐在体育场的长凳上欣赏足球了。最后我到医院去做了检查，住了将近三个月的医院。我想我至少做过十亿次检查了，包括一次他们从我的腿部切下一片肌肉放在显微镜下观察。即使做过了所有这些检查，也没有人能够确诊这个病。因此，很难知道将来会是个什么样子。问题是我看上去跟平常人一样，因此，当我跑了很短的一段路之后，就喘不过气来，或者爬楼梯才爬到一半就得停下来
25、休息，我的一些小学同学就会笑我。有时候我的身体太虚弱，上不了学，因此落下了许多功课。每次缺课回来之后，我就觉得自己很笨，因为我比别人落后了。我在中学时期的生活(比在小学时)要轻松多了，因为我的同学已经接受了我的状况。少数同学看不到我的内心世界，但是我并不生气，只是不去理会他们罢了。总而言之，我生活得挺好。我很高兴我能做许多事情，比如写作和电脑编程。我有雄心壮志，长大后我要在开发电脑软件的公司里工作。去年我开发了一个电脑足球游戏，有一家大公司已经决定从我这儿买走。我的生活很充实，没有时间坐着顾影自怜。除了同我的朋友一起去看电影和足球比赛外，我还花很多时间和我的宠物在一起。我有两只兔子、一只鹦鹉，
26、一缸金鱼和一只乌龟。我得花大量时间来照顾这些宠物，但我觉得很值。此外，我还有好多功课要做，特别是在病了一段时间之后。在许多方面，我身体的残疾导致我心理上变得更加坚强，更加独立。我必须努力才能过上正常的生活，但这是值得的。假如我有机会跟健康孩子讲一句话，那么，这句话就是：身体残疾并不意味着生活不美满。因此，不要感到残疾人可怜，或者取笑他们，也别不理睬他们。要接受他们，给他们以鼓励，让他们能像你一样过得丰富多彩、充实美满。谢谢你读我的故事。通语篇 学理解 重分析2语篇理解.Whats the main idea of the passage?The passage is mainly about
