Note that there is one word more than you need.
Do you ever draw? Most of us don’t, and the reason we usually leave drawing to the artists is because we’re not

especially since drawing has so many benefits, artist or not.
We should ___12___ this idea: What if drawing was just a low

capacity,” writes design historian D. B. Dowd in his book, “Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice.” “This

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life
and I’m not even a
cat. My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill
in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year.
This was when I began to enjoy my first life. I was very happy, in excellent health. I had a good job in San Jose
and a beautiful home up the peninsula in San Carlos. Life was a pleasant dream. Then the dream ended. I became
afflicted(
使苦恼
) with a slowly progressive disease of the motor nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then
my other side. Thus began my second life...
In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid of special equipment installed in my
car. And I managed to keep my health and optimism, to a degree, because of 14 steps. Crazy? Not at all. Our home
was an affair with 14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door. Those steps were a standard measure of life.
