When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from the Blackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born．I loved this bird; I would
36
him for hours．He would
37
effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the
38
and float there beautifully．Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move
39
into the grasses．We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language
40
“pink-colored feet”; meksikatsi and I became very good friends．
The bird had a very particular significance to me
41
I desperately wanted to be able to fly too．I felt very much as if I was the kind of person who had been born into a world where
42
was impossible．And most of the things that I
43
about would not be possible for me but would be possible only for other people．
When I was ten years old, something unexpected
44
my life suddenly．I found myself become an
45
child in a family I was not born into; I found myself in a
46
position that many native Americans find themselves in, living in a city that they do not understand at all, not in another culture but
47
two cultures．
A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what
48
people have called that bird for thousands of years．Meksikatsi, he said, was really “duck”．I was very
49
with English．I could not understand it．First of all, the bird did not look like “duck”, and when it made a
50
, it did not sound like “duck”, I was even more
51
when I found out that the meaning of the verb “to duck” came from the bird．
As I
52
to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of
53
, but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning．I
54
that languages are not just different words for the same things but totally different
55
, totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world．

Every human being,
36
what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is
37
dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the
38
problem ?how to collect body heat. They have designed
a collection system which utilizes
39
body heat, but the heat given off by such objects
40
light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well
41
no conventional fuel is needed
42
the campus?six buildings comfortable.h
Some parts of most modern buildings ?theatres and offices
43
classrooms ?are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned
44
in winter. The technique of
45
heat and redistributing it is
46
揾eat recover? A fened w modern buildings recover
47
, but the university抯 system is the first to recover heat
48
some buildings and re-use it in
49
. Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The
50
a student studies, the more heat
his body
51
. Male students emit more heat than
52
students, and the larger a student, the more heat he

完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）

Night after night, as was often the case, she’d lean down and push my long hair out of the
36
,then kiss my forehead.
I don’t remember when it first started
37
me. But it did. Finally one night, I shouted out as her, “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too
38
！” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother
39
my day with that familiar
40
of her love.
With the years passing, my thoughts
41
to that night, when I missed my mother抯 hands, missed her goodnight
42
on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very
43
, while sometimes far away. But always it was hidden in the back of my
44
. No w Mom is in her seventies, and those hands that I
45
thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my
46
. And now my own children are grown and gone. One Thanksgiving Eve,
47
I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a
48
hand hesitantly run across my face to
49
the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so
50
, touched my brow.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night and my young voice
51
. 揇on抰 do that any more ?your hands are too rough!?
52
, I caught Mom抯 hand in hand, saying how
53
I was for that night. I thought she抎 remember, as I did. But
. No Mom didn抰 know
54
I was talking about. She had forgotten, and forgiven long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new
55
for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
