I met Ryan, a young man with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), in my biology class. My simple 'Hello!' and his cheerful reply were the 36 to our friendship from the first day of school. There was a time when Ryan was not able to come to school. He was in a great deal of 37 after having a surgery on his legs, but he 38 his sufferings from everyone. In our junior year, we found that we didn't 39  a single class. This was not a problem, though. We just talked a little more in the hallway   40 passing periods. That year seemed to fly by. One day, Ryan asked me to hold the torch (火炬) runner's flag that would 41 the spot where Ryan would 42 his Olympic torch run.

I could not have been any prouder of Ryan！ He 53 this moment in time --a historic moment--a moment that he was a part of and 54 me to be a part of, too. Mr. Weinheimer, the next torch runner, bent over and gave Ryan a hug. That moment will last in time forever. It symbolized the whole 55 of the flame: love, excitement, enthusiasm, brotherhood, and life of any man. The flame united us all and showed that love is really what makes this small world go around after all. 小题1: A．solutions B．keys C．routes D．responses 小题2: A．danger B．fear C．pain D．puzzle 小题3: A．hid B．prevented C．released D．relieved 小题4: A．change B．miss C．attend D．share 小题5: A．except B．for C．during D．before 小题6: A．mark B．test C．number D．decorate 小题7: A．cover B．begin C．continue D．lead 小题8: A．while B．although C．if D．unless 小题9: A．polite B．kind C．grateful D．important 小题10: A．ever B．never C．also D．even 小题11: A．admit B．refuse C．make D．repeat 小题12: A．ached B．raced C．stopped D．sank 小题13: A．explain to B．differ from C．respond to D．call on 小题14: A．joined B．stepped C．poured D．broke 小题15: A．potential B．preference C．glory D．surprise 小题16: A．training B．journey C．life D．struggle 小题17: A．anxiety B．satisfaction C．harmony D．excitement 小题18: A．deserved B．recalled C．treasured D．chose 小题19: A．promised B．encouraged C．allowed D．followed 小题20: A．mystery B．power C．information D．meaning
