III. Reading comprehension
(A)
1. I didn't cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally handicapped child. I just sat still and didn't say anything.
2. When Kristi was old enough, we sent her to a kindergarten. It would have been comforting to cry the day I left her in that room full ofkids. Kristi had spent hour upon hour playing by herself, but this moment, when she was the “different” child among them, she was probably the loneliest.
3. However, positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school, and to her schoolmates, too. Kristi's classmates always took pains to praise her: “Kristi got all her spelling words right today.” No one bothered to add that her spelling list was easier than anyone else's.
4. Later, she faced a very special challenge. The final event of the term was a program based on a final outcome of the year's music and physical education activities. Kristi was behind in both. My husband and I dreaded the day as well.
5. On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. Surely missing one program couldn't matter. But my conscience wouldn't let me off that easily. So I practically got a pale, reluctant Kristi onto the school bus.
6. Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. At the kindergarten, I felt worried because ofher slow and clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.
7. The performance went well until it was time for the sack race. Surely Kristi would find it tough. Now each child had to climb into a sack, hop to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Kristi standing near the end of her line of players.
8. But as her turn to join, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Kristi placed his 1 on her waist. Two other boys stood ahead of her The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the
sack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her into it. A girl ahead took her hand and supported her. Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud. 9. At the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried. 1. When sending her daughter to the kindergarten, the writer must have felt . A. lonely
