13．I was twenty years old，and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would be earning my own living．Unfortunately，I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be．The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching，being a nurse or sitting in an office．
But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue （目錄） of courses that were being offered at the local college．As I looked through it，I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language．It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations，such as law companies，the Stock Exchange，insurance companies and banks．Then I saw something that really caught my eye："Singer"are also needed for sporting events，concerts，theatrical performances and，believe it or not，circuses!By the time I got to the bottom of the page，I knew I had found the perfect occupation．
I enrolled （注冊(cè)） on the course，which to my parents'great delight was free of charge．The course was brilliant．My favourite part was the final lesson，when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song．It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words，but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast．It was the hardest thing I have ever done-but also the most rewarding．

12．Squirrels （松鼠） are getting ready for winter．They are looking for nuts and seeds，digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees．That's where they store the food they will need during the coming months，when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy．Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees，which are like restaurants for them．Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees，like tender buds （花苞）．Squirrels may also eat corn，insects and other animals．And，as anyone who has a bird knows，squirrels love bird food!
Squirrels stay active all winter，so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy．Squirrels tend to buryfood underground，piece by piece．Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground．When they need the food，squirrels use their memories and sense of smell to help them find what they buried．Sometimes，you'll even see them digging through the snow．
Squirrels make nests in trees．Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels （地道），where it is warmer．When spring comes，squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth，like buds and leaves．Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nut s．That's why you'll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it．It must have been the squirrels．

11．About 10 years ago when I was a student in college，I was working in the shop at my university's Museum of Natural History．One day，I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair．As I looked at this girl，I saw that she was seated on her chair．I realized she had no arms or legs，just a head，neck and body．She was wearing a little white dress with red dots．As the couple wheeled her up to me，I was looking down at the cash register （收銀處）．I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink（眨眼）．As I took the money from her grandparents，the girl gave me the biggest smile I have ever seen．All of a sudden her disability （殘疾）disappeared．All I saw was this beautiful girl，whose smile gave me a new sense of life．She took me from being a poor，unhappy college student and brought me into her world of smiles，love and warmth．
