No wonder Jimmy Shea’s a success and he is even regarded as a role model to kids with

challenges, not only because he’s a great athlete but because he struggles with reading

in school and now still has a problem with reading．
ter lots of testing, we found out Jimmy has a severe Jimmy’s father says, “Jimmy as a child, af
learning disability．”　
Jimmy Shea Jr．has dyslexia（诵读混难）, but he’s learned to manage it with the help of good
teachers, patient parents, hard work．．．and most of all, sports．
His father Jim Shea says, “His
athletic ability compensated so much for the lack of scholastic
ability．”　
“It gave me the confidence to be a normal kid and to be able to keep up and to make good
．
decisions,” Jimmy says
．A lot of kids with learning disabilities give up．But those “He didn’t give up,” his father says
going
that don’t, that persevere, they learn so much more about life than the normal kid that’s
．”

Olympics and being an athlete, and never misses the chance to share the Olympic Spirit．
“My grandfather always talks about the Olympics being the angel of peace and basically it’s
bringing everybody together in a peaceful competition．So it’s really, really important these days,”　Jimmy says．
Shea believes sports can help all children develop good self esteem, health, respect and a sense
fair play．He wants to develop winter sports programs for kids, to help them overcome their
challenges while he continues to work on his own．
“So I think sport has influenced my life in such a great way that I can overcome a lot of
．”　
problems with my disability, and will continue to do so．As I get older, I’ll get smarter and wiser

Domestic(家庭的) pets cause most animal bites．Dogs are more likely to bite than cats．Cat bites, however, are more likely to cause infection．Bites from non-immunized (未免疫的)domestic animals and wild animals carry the risk of rabies(狂犬病)．Rabies is more common in raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes than in cats and dogs．Rabbits, squirrels and other rodents rarely carry rabies．If an animal bites you or your child, follow these guidelines:
For minor wounds．If the bite barely breaks the skin and there is no danger of rabies, treat it
as a minor wound．Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water．Apply an antibiotic(抗菌的) cream to prevent infection and cover the bite with a clean bandage．
For deep wounds．If the animal bite creates a deep wound of the skin or the skin is badly torn and bleeding, apply pressure with a clean, dry cloth to stop the bleeding and see your doctor．For infection．If you notice signs of infection such as swelling(肿胀) redness, increased pain or oozing(渗出, 分泌)see your doctor immediately．
For suspected rabies．If you suspect the bite was caused by an animal that might carry rabies —any bite from a wild or domestic animal of unknown immunization status —see your doctor immediately．Doctors recommend getting a tetanus(破伤风) shot every 10 years．If your last one was more than five years ago and your wound is deep or dirty, your doctor may recommend a booster．You should have the booster within 48 hours of the injury．
72．From the passage we know that cats ．
A．are more likely to bite people
B．more probably make people infected if biting people
C．like to fight with dogs very much
D．are more dangerous than dogs to people
．
73．The underlined word “booster” in the last paragraph probably refers to A．a kind of medicine to make up for the tetanus shot
B．a kind of food to make you stronger
C．another healthy domestic pet
D．an appointment with a doctor
74．You should see a doctor immediately except that ．
A．the wound is deep B．the wound seems infected
C．the wound is a minor one
D．you are bitten by a wild dog
75．In order to ensure to avoid being bitten by animals and getting rabies, we should ．A．give up keeping pets
B．have pets got a tetanus shot every 10 years
C．have our pets immunized
D．make pets take a booster usually
