Two American inventors, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisa Gray, succeeded at almost the same time. The United States Supreme Court finally had to decide which of the two was the first inventor of the telephone. The Court decided 37 Bell’s favor.
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Bell grew up in a family that was very interested in teaching people to speak. His grandfather had been an actor who left the theatre to teach elocution(演讲技巧); his father was a teacher 38 deaf-mutes learn how to speak.
However, probably none of the later inventions gave Bell the same feeling of success __39_ he had on the day when he spilled some acid from his batteries. It was after he had worked for months to find ways to send something more than metallic twangs(金属砰弦声)over the wires. Thinking Watson, __40__, was in the next room, Bell called, "Mr. Watson, come here. I want you." Watson was not in the next room. He was down in his laboratory, next to the receiver. To Watson's surprise, he heard the words perfectly. He ran to tell Bell the news: the wires had carried Bell's voice perfectly.

I learnt very soon in our relationship that Kathy was jealous. She did not like to think that I had anything that she did not have. We would have great fun going out shopping. However, if I bought, say, a dress for a party, and she thought my dress was better than hers, she would start to say slightly unkind things about it. I could not understand this at all, and even now it puzzles me.
The other problem was my mother. She thought Kathy was common. She thought Kathy had a bad influence over me. She even disliked Kathy’s way of speaking. She thought her pronunciation was common. Mum disliked Katy and looked down on her and kept telling me to stop seeing her. If ever I invited her into the house, she would be angry and tell me off as soon as Kathy was gone.

One day I was out fishing with Spot when we heard a lot of shouting in the 38 followed by a scream and splash. I was a bit 39 so I called Spot and we both hid 40 a bush where we could see but not be 41 . After a few moments, a straw hat came drifting down the river, followed by an oar, a picnic basket and 42 oar. Then came the rowing boat itself, but it was 43 upside down ! A few seconds later my Dad and Auntie June came running 44 the river bank, both wet 45 . Spot started barking so I came out of hiding and said hello. My Dad got really angry 46 me for not trying to catch the boat as it went past. Luckily, 47 , the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream, but not the hat or picnic basket. So I had to let them 48 my sandwiches. Dad and Auntie June both made me 49 not to tell Mum what had happened 50 she would be worried.

Unpleasant(3)on my physical appearance were nothing new. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were(4), and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore(5)until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer(6)in long pants.
But then I met Ragen Chastain, and she(7)everything. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so(8)and happy in her own skin. I(9)as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our(10)are, simply because of the things they do every day—like breathing, (11)blood to every cell, blinking and walking.
Walking! I was suddenly(12)how foolish I’d been for so long. There’re people who are born without legs, or who lack(13)working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs(14) because I had (15) someone to convince me that they weren’t good enough. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs(16) the sun and feel the breeze.
The next time anyone comments on your body in a(17)way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see(18) you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking (19)else.” That’s Ragen’s own(20) , but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.
