Recently, I heard a touching story which shows the power of words that could change a child’s life forever—a power that lies right in the hands of those reading this article. Mary had grown up knowing that she was different from other kids, and she hated it. She was born with a cleft palate (腭裂) and had to put up with the cruel jokes of those children. With all the jeers, Mary grew up hating the fact that she was “different”. She was convinced that no one, except her family, could ever love her ... until she entered Mrs. Leonard’s class.

Mrs. Leonard had a warm smile, a round face and shiny brown hair. Everyone in her class liked her. In the 1950s, it was common for teachers to give their students a hearing test every year. However, in Mary’s case, in addition to her cleft palate, she was hardly able to hear out of one ear. Determined not to let other children have another “difference” to point out, she would cheat in the test every year. The “whisper test” was given by having a child walk to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and then repeat something which the teacher whispered. Mary turned her bad ear towards her teacher and pretended to cover her good ear. She knew that teachers would often say things like “The sky is blue,” or “What color are your shoes?” But on that day things were different. Surely, God put seven words in Mrs. Leonard’s mouth that changed Mary’s life forever. When the “whisper test” came, Mary heard the words: “I wish you were my little girl.”

     D. Because she didn’t want other kids to know she had hearing problems.

30. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Leonard?
