课时训练(九) Ⅰ.阅读理解 I grew up knowing I was different，and I hated it.I was born with a cleft(分裂的)lip，and when I started to go to school，my classmates were constantly laughing at me－a little girl with a cleft lip and crooked(歪的)nose.I couldn't even blow up a balloon without holding my nose. When my schoolmates asked，“What happened to your lip？” I'd tell them that I'd fallen as a baby and cut it on a piece of glass.Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different. Then I entered the second grade，and Mrs.Leonard's class.She was round and pretty.Everyone adored her.But no one came to love her more than I did.And for a special reason. The time came for the annual “hearing tests”．I was barely able to hear anything out of one ear.So I cheated.I had learned to watch other children and raised my hand when they did during group testing.The “whisper test” required a different deception(骗术)：each child would go to the door of the classroom，turn sideways and block one ear with a finger.And the teacher would whisper something from her desk，which the child would repeat.Then the same thing was done for the other ear.Nobody checked to see how tightly the untested ear was being blocked，so I pretended to block mine. My turn came.I turned my bad ear to her，plugging_up the other ear solidly with my finger，and then gently backed my finger out enough to be able to hear.I waited，and then heard the words that God had surely put into her mouth；seven words that changed my life forever.
