阅读下面短文,简要回答问题。(共3小题;每小题2分,满分6分)
I was shopping in the supermarket when I.heard a young voice boom from across the aisle.“Mom,come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to a boy she called Mickey;then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her,“It’s okay.”Then I talked to the boy,“Hi,Mickey,I’m Darry
Kramer.How are you?”
He studied mc from head to toe,and asked,“Arc you a little mommy?”
“Yes.I have a son”I answered
“Why are you so little?”he asked.
…It s the way I was born.”I said.“Some people are little.Some are tall.I’m just not going to grow any bigger.”After about five more minutes of answering questions,I shook Mickey’s hand, and he returned to his mother.
My life as a little  person is filled with stories 1ike that.I enjoy talking to children and Explaining why I look different from their parents.it has taken many years to develop my confidence to be able to do that.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness.I stand three feet.nine inches tall I was born an achondroplasia dwarf(侏儒).Despite this,my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes,I got a two-wheel bike When they roller-skated, I roller-skated.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school There,a few kids 1picked on me,calling me names.Then I knew.After that,I began to hate the first day of school cach year.I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
As time went on,I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life.I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage.
What I lacked in height,I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now,and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older.People 1ook in disbelief when they see me get out of my car off the driver’s side.During those times,I try to keep a good attitude When people are rude,I remind myself,“Look what else I have—a great family.Nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my 1ife special.When I talk with children.They leave content that their questions have been answered My hope is that in taking time with them,I will encourage them to accept their peers whatever size and shape they come in,and treat them with respect.

Can you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car?Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons(视野).Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car.Once you have invested the time to master the skills,you will never go back to the old days.The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.
Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort.We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things.Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities.Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed—the computer.It extends the capabilities of our minds.
Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore,these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected.The computer may multiply what we can do,and the return on investment is high.The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand,the computer can do serious damage.Invasion of privacy(侵犯隐私),fraud(欺诈),and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The computer is like a double-edged sword.It has the ability to cut us free from some activities,but it can also cut deep into profits,personal privacy,and our society in general.How it is used is not a function of technology.It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology.The choice is yours,and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many,many benefits of the computer age.

— Eli S.,10,Texa
People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.
— Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett
The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.

It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting (污染物排放)countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.
—Augustine S.,11,Ohio
The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!

Dear Flowermouse,
Thank you for your comments on how Americans and Chinese view each other. This is an important subject. Modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations. This is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one. It means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used. This requires greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.
Your letter asks specially about Chinese-American relationships but I want to let you know my feelings on a global scale. Because China and America are the most powerful nations and I believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world"s problems.
You ask how Chinese and American people view each other. This is an important question. Because I know so little about China that I am not able to judge how Chinese view Americans. I am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have. And it is not easy to describe America to foreigners. America is a vast mass of people and cultures. These people came from all parts of the world, from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Australia. Each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
  I believe that the vast majority of Americans like the vast majority of Chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations. Both China and America have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history. And I believe that it is the special responsibility of all Chinese and all Americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other.
So my friend, this is my response. Please know that I write to you as a private person living in America. I do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have in differences. We all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet earth. Maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns. I hope so.
