21、When 12-year-old Taylor Smith wrote a special letter to herself last spring, to be read in 10 years’ time, she didn’t know it would be opened before even a year had passed— and that it wouldn’t be her eyes reading the words.
“She had told me that she had written a letter to herself, and that she was excited that she was going to open it when she was older,”said Taylor’s mother, Mary Ellen Smith.
Instead, it was opened by Taylor’s parents after she died last spring. They posted the letter to Facebook, hoping it would inspire others.
It has. “We’ve gotten letters from lots of parents who have said it has encouraged them to love their kids and love each other,” said Mary Ellen Smith.
In the letter, Taylor congratulated herself on graduating from high school and asked, “Are you in college?”
She also wanted to know if she had been on a plane yet and if the show “Doctor Who” was still on the air.
Taylor also had some words for her future kids. After considering the idea of selling her iPad and getting an iPad mini instead, she told her future self to mention to her kids that “We’re older than the tablet.” She included a drawing of an iPad for them to see.
Taylor died suddenly of pneumonia (肺炎), leaving behind both her parents and an older brother.
“I just want people to know just what an awesome, awesome person she was,” her father, Tim Smith said.
Her mother said, “I can’t bring her back, but I’m so grateful people have been inspired by her story.”
Taylor’s father read the closing words of her letter, which said, “It’s been years since I wrote this. Stuff has happened, good and bad. That’s just how life works, and you have to go with it.”

24、 When my son Connor started walking, we knew something was wrong. He was 17 months old, and he walked on his tiptoes. Soon Connor's muscles began to lose strength. At three he showed signs of upper-body weakness, by five he couldn't hold his head upright, and by the first grade, he would need a wheelchair. As the day passed, he tired and couldn't hold a pencil to write. Within two years, he would be too tired to feed himself dinner. Everyone was puzzled. Physically, his body was twisted, but he was mentally perfect. We ran tests after tests, but no definite answer.
Finally, in 2004, we consulted Dr. Shawn, a geneticist, who said that Connor's symptoms had signs of dystonia(肌张力障碍) —a very rare genetic disorder, and a possible cure was L-dopa. Though there was possible side effects of the treatment, when Connor’s condition worsened, I had little choice.
Dr. Jacobs, a neurologist(神经学家), gave Connor the first dose (一次剂量的药) on June 21, 2007, when he was nine years old. The next morning, when I went in to wake him up, I found him kneeling on his bed — he hadn't done that since he was learning to walk. He shouted, “Look at me, Mom!” Connor was excited.
Over the next few days, Connor kept getting stronger. He held his upper body much straighter after the first week. A few weeks later, he “furniture-walked,” supporting himself on chairs and couches. He later walked holding both of my hands, then just one hand. And on August 13, he walked across my mother’s living room by himself.
I could now believe the unbelievable: The medicine was working. The child who had been too weak to feed himself dinner was walking. Since then, every year on June 21, we celebrate Dopa Day with a cake and presents, for it’s Connor’s second “birthday,” and it marks the best day of my life.
【1】What’s wrong with Connor?
A.The doctor found he couldn’t walk.
B.Something was wrong when he was born.
C.Neither his mind nor his body was normal.
D.His mind was fine but his body was abnormal.
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A.The L-dopa dose proved effective.
B.The L-dopa treatment was proved safe.
C.There were other cures for Connor's illness.
D.Nobody knew what kind of disease Connor had had.
【3】What’s special about the day of June 21?
A.It was Connor’s birthday.
B.It was the day when Connor started walking.
C.It was the day when Connor recovered completely.
D.It was the day when Connor got his first treatment of L-dopa.
