I always think my daughter Kendall is the best—that's just what parents do. When she was only three, she 1 for the people, like a little angel.
When Kendall was five, we noticed that she 2 had a tic(面部抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. 3 the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.
When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured soon. However, a(n) 4 thing happened.
At a party, Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggyback ride. He bent lower than she expected, and she jumped 5 than he expected. Kendall flew over his back and 6 on the floor—on her neck. She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed(瘫痪) from the neck down. She couldn't 7 . But her biggest 8 wasn't whether she would walk again, but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.
As the days went on, feeling on her left side 9 , but she was still paralyzed on the right. We weren't sure how much of her 10 would come back. A friend brought a microphone and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more 11 for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.
Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the pain. We all cried because of the 12 we witnessed. But on the day—only three months after her 13 —we cried full of joy when she sang, 14 she didn't enter the Top 24 of American Idol.
When she was a little girl, she asked me 15 it was she that had tics. My heart hurt, but I told her, “Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice, a strong mind. And you are a beautiful presence.”

Ⅱ.[2019·葫芦岛改编]阅读理解
What are the basic ingredients(要素) of good manners? A strong sense of fairness is one of them.
A friend once told me an experience that he had. When he was driving along a one-lane(单行小路),unpaved(未铺路的) mountain road, the car ahead of his produced clouds of choking dust(呛人的尘土), and it was a long way to the nearest paved main road. Suddenly, the car ahead stopped at a wider place on the road. My friend thought there must be something wrong with the car ahead. He stopped and asked if anything was wrong. “No,” said the other driver. “But you've endured my dust so far. I'll endure yours the rest of the way.”
Another ingredient is empathy(同情心). It makes a person see into the mind or heart of someone else. Recently I happened to read such a story in a book.
