He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born since there are always kids hanging around the barn. He was a favorite amongst the students at the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. Thats when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? Theres one here with no eyes and no one can take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home Jack stayed mostly in my room. He walked cautiously around, sniffing everything. After about a day he had no issues running around, jumping onto my bed and climbing on everything. He went through a time where he could climb the stairs, but couldnt get down. He would sit at the top and cry until someone came and got him. Every now and then when he gets disoriented hell stop and cry. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isnt long before he finds his way back to us.Also, a few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. I always take Jack outside at that time for some fresh air and exercise. He loves to run (at top speed!) around the back yard and gardens. Bear and Jack have bee best friends. It doesnt matter that he cant see, Jack always knows when Bear is around. Hell run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They chase each other around and wrestle, and when theyre tired theyll lie down in the grass together.Jack is truly an inspiration. Ive owned a lot of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest, most playful of them all. He doesnt feel sorry for himself. Heck, for all he knows, all cats are just like him. People who know Jack dont feel sorry for him. They cherish him for the treasure that he is. I have talked to a few people who havent met him personally who tend to pity him, but they just dont understand. Jack doesnt need pity. I think Jean (who has Gumbo the eyeless ginger) said it best when she told me that cats dont have disabilities, they have adaptabilities.4. According to the first paragraph, Jack _.A. got seriously disabled after birthB. had a good time in the place where he was bornC. ended up wandering in the street at firstD. grew up lonely and sad5. When Jack first came to the authors house, he _.A. would cry when he felt lonelyB. was very happy and played wildly in the roomC. had difficulty getting down the stairsD. always needed someone to guide him6.

In one second, light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the Starter, you can See smoke e from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays (光线) left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases the light from one of tonights stars started on its journey to you before you were born.Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”8.
