To them a disability was physical, something you could see. They knew her as a happy, normal child. Thats ho

12、w it is with a learning disability -you dont see obvious physical symptoms.But as she grew out of preschool, she would pretend to read-I knew she was pretending because the book was upside down. She withdrew into her own world where she could fantasize about being a ballet dancer, a Broadway actress

13、 or a figure skater. In the real world, ballet classes and music lessons led only to confusion, frustration and, ultimately, disappointment.As for school, there was no way she could be included in a mainstream classroom. I went through every special school in New York, only to be told over and over:

14、 She doesnt belong here. The last blow came a few months after the diagnosis, when I was at a pay phone on 72nd Street, waiting for an answer from the very last school on my list. Finally a cold voice came on-I can still hear it-and said: Im sorry, but we feel this isnt the place for her. I hung up

15、and stared at the phone in tears.I had lived my life as the daughter of Henry Ford II, and for the first time in my life I faced a problem that neither money nor position could solve.

19、roper treatmentPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Contrary to what many people believe, highly intelligent children are not necessarily bound to have an academic success. In fact, so-called gifted students may fail to do well because they are unusually smart. Ensuring t

20、hat a gifted child reaches his or her potential requires an understanding of what can go wrong and how to satisfy the unusual learning requirements of extremely bright young people.One common problem gifted kids face is that they, and those around them, place too much importance on being smart. Such

21、 an emphasis can breed a belief that bright people do not have to work hard to do well. Although smart kids may not need to work hard in the lower grades when the work is easy, they may struggle and perform poorly when the work gets harder because they do not make the effort to learn. In some cases,

22、 they may not know how to study, having never done it before. In others, they simply cannot accept the fact that some tasks require effort.If the scholastic achievement of highly intelligent children remains below average for an extended period, many teachers will fail to recognize their potential.

Boys may turn aggressive or become class clowns（小丑）.Girls often develop performance anxiety and other symptoms s

25、tivation and persistence, social competence, and the support of family, educators and friends.
