Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
When Mary was in hospital with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.
They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching book business. One figure caught Mary's attention: She'd read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were mystery readers themselves.
On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Cafe near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family's money to start a shop. To cover the $I00 000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.
The store only broke even in its first year, with only $120 000 in sales. They didn't make money but Mary always has new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered presents to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited many writers to discuss their stories. Now after paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34 000.
"The job you love may not go hand in hand with lots of money," says Richard. "This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money."

In 1971 a young man was traveling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had 85 of money and had to spend the night in his car.

On the way out of town, an idea suddenly came to his mind. "Maybe 90 dropped the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a different way. And right then I just made a little 91 . I said, 'Lord (上帝), if ever you put me in a position to help other people, I will do it.".

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, y 92 I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything seen through the dirty window was unclear. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really l 93 terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my f 94 including washing the window on the inside.
L 95 in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a r 96 . What a surprise! Across the way, the woman siring by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean. I had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an i 97 lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty
window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (短处) ?
Since then, whenever I want to j 98 someone, I will ask myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"
E. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (14分)
Experts say learning disabilities are not with intelligence(智力) or diligence(勤奋). The problem, they say, is that some people's brains process information differently.
Generally speaking, people with learning disabilities are average or above average in their intelligence. But their disorders may affect their ability to gain knowledge and, as a result, limit their success in school or jobs.
Different people can have different kinds of learning disabilities. One person may have difficulty with language development. Another may have trouble working with numbers. People can have more than one disorder, but reading is the most common area of difficulty.
Learning disabilities are neurological (神经系统的) disorders that affect the brain's ability to store, process and communicate information. The National Center for Learning Disabilities reported that fifteen million Americans, or five percent, are affected. Three million students in the United States received some kind of special help in school because of teaming disabilities. Learning disabilities may help explain why some students do not perform as well in school as intelligence tests suggest they should.
People with a learning disability may have trouble following directions. Or they may not know how to start a task. Children who have problems connecting letters with sounds or understanding what they read may be showing signs of learning disabilities.
Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people can learn Ways to deal with their disorders. Teachers and parents can provide support that will help students learn successfully.

100. Who processes information in a different way?
