（人物故事）
That
year
，
I was a Junior 2
student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the
head. Almost
everyone thought I was
dead. But they were wrong.
However
，
it was difficult to
get back to
normal(
正常的
) life.
I had to leave school and learn everything
< br>，
walking
，
talki
ng
，
and
yes
，
maths.
To
help me with that task
，
Mrs.
Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and
later to my
house once a week. We began
with basic maths skills. As time passed
by
，
I made progress.
I remember very vividly how she came to
my home on Sundays
，
sat with
me at the kitchen
table
，
and threw
different coins on the table. She asked me to show
her 38 cents,17 cents,63 cents.
It was
challenging
，
but she also
made it fun.

)3.
Rose wants to run away from her life because
______.
After a
year and a half
，
I had
progressed a lot

both in
body and mind

to return to
school.
Seven years
later
，
I graduated from the
University of Texas at the top of my class.
As years went
by
，
I always kept in touch
with Mrs. Pillar.
Unluckily
，
one day my parents
told
me that Mrs. Pillar had been in
hospital because she suffered a stroke(
中风
)
．
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs.
Pillar lay in bed
，
unable to
speak or know anybody
around. I pulled
some coins out of my
pocket
，
dropped them on her
bed
，
and asked her to show me
12 cents. The nurse thought that my
action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar
smiled
happily as I began working with
her
—
just as she had worked
with me years before. She made
progress
everyday and was moved out of
ICU(
重症监护室
) and finally out
of hospital.
One
day
，
I called to wish her a
happy New Year. She spoke into the phone
excitedly
，
“Happy
New Year to you and your
family
，
Michael. Thank you
for everything you've done for me.” I
quickly
said
，
“Thank you
for
everything you've done
for me.”
Mrs. Pillar was one
of my Junior 2 teachers
，
but
she taught me so much more about life than
only maths.
