Every year on my birthday, a white gardenia (栀子花) was   31  to my house. But no card or note came with it. Calls to the flower shop were always   32  －it was a cash purchase.

    But I never stopped  36  who the giver might be．My mother  37  to these imaginations．She asked me if there was someone for whom I had done a special  38  who might be showing appreciation．I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I fell in love with or one who had  39  me even though I didn’t know him．

    One month  40  my high-school graduation．my father died．My feelings  41  from sorrow to fear and  42  ：my dad was missing some of the most important events in my life．I became completely  43  in my coming graduation，the senior-class play and the ball．But my mother would not hear of my  44  any of those things．Mother and I had gone shopping and found an impressive dress，but it was the  45  size．When my father died，I forgot about the dress．

    The day before my ball，I found that dress——in the right size——over the living room sofa．It was  46  to me so lovingly．I didn’t  47  if I had a new dress or not．But my mother did．She wanted her children to feel  48  ，filled with a sense that there was a beauty even in the face of  49  ．In truth，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia——lovely，strong and perfect——with an aura of magic and perhaps a bit of mystery．

Conversely to this, people will also often   38  , assuming that since my eyes don’t work, my ears don’t either. For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for   39  to the plane, he or she will always pick up the phone and call a ground hostess in a very low voice. "Hi, Jane, wave got a 76 here." I have concluded that the word "  40  " is not used because they are unwilling to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously   41  .

       On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can’t talk. Once I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after I was    42  , I was wheeled down to the X-ray room. Just at the door sat an elderly woman(judging from  her voice) asked the orderly(护工) who had been wheeling me:" What is your name?" “What’s your name?” the orderly   43   to me. "Harold Krents", I replied. "Harold Krents", he repeated. "When was he born?" "When were you born?"…This continued for about five minutes before I finally interrupted, "Look, this is absolutely  44   . OK, I can’t see, but it’s go to become pretty  45   to both of you that I don’t need an interpreter(翻译)." “He says he doesn’t  need an interpreter," the orderly reported to the woman. 　

       The   46   misconception of all is the view that because I cant see, I can’t  47  . I was turned down by over forty law firms,   48   my qualifications included a cum laude degree from Harvard Law School. The  49  to find jobs, the continuous   50  of being told that it was impossible for a blind person to   51  law, the rejection letter, not based on my lack of   52  but rather on my disability, will always remain one of the most upsetting experiences of my life.

      53  , the Department of Labor issued laws that demand equal  54  opportunities for the disabled. The business community’s response has been   55  . The attitude towards the disabled is beginning to change.

Comment on : Hunter Country Lodge & Restaurant                                             My husband and I stayed at this lodge during our honeymoon. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Hunter Valley you have your own very log cabin. The rooms are comparatively expensive, but they are very spacious. The restaurant has delicious food with wine of varieties, ready for you in the evening.                                           My ratings (给…等级) for this hotel are:   ●●●●●Value ●●●●●Service I recommend this hotel for: honeymoon, romantic couples

Comment on: Aloha Pualani Hotel                                           My husband and I stayed at the Aloha Pualani after months’ busy work. The rooms are small but clean. The peaceful laidback feel was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t hear noise from streets. My husband loved the outdoor barbecue (烧烤). If you are looking for a relaxing, childfree, clean, natural place to stay this is without a doubt, but it’s a long tiring way. My ratings for this hotel are:  ●●●●○Rooms     ●●●●●Cleanliness I recommend this hotel for: romantic getaway I don’t recommend this hotel for: the aged, young children

Comment on: Karin’s Holiday Cottage                                             Karin’s Holiday Cottage is really worth the price for lower earners. Walking along the beach, we saw many fish and turtles. We had a rental car because it was a little far from the shopping center. But we found the windows needed to be open to allow air in, and the cottage didn’t have air conditioning but with the 3 ceiling fans. Anyway we stayed plenty cool. My ratings for this hotel are:     ●●●○○Rooms       ●●●○○location I recommend this hotel for: young, single people. I don’t recommend this hotel for: People hunting for luxurious (豪华的) hotels.

Comment on: Arison Centre Hotel                                           We hosted a conference last month at the Arison Centre Hotel - a charming hotel.

The hotel also has a business centre, conference rooms, car park and a western-style restaurant.

Comment on: GeofBob Holiday Inn                                           This hotel is great for the value. I was impressed by how attentive the staff were. I left my room without locking the door. The cleaning lady noticed and immediately informed me. Staying in the hotel made my trip a pleasant one. But we wouldn’t come again because of the walk. You can’t just hop down to the beach or the bar - 200 steep steps each way – so exhausted. My ratings for this hotel are:    ●●●●●Value      ●●●○○location Likes: Service                 Dislike: traffic I recommend this hotel for: young travelers I don’t recommend this hotel for: people with disabilities

Comment on: Punta Regina Isle Hotel                                            Tastefully located on an island, the hotel is good, with its staff helpful and its price reasonable. Don’t drive a car, for most of the tourist spots were walking distance, or you can go everywhere by boat. If you like sea food, island setting, and wine, this is excellent. My ratings for this hotel are: ●●●●●location  ●●●●●Service Like: beautiful surroundings             Dislike: vehicles I recommend this hotel for: young holiday makers I don’t recommend this hotel for: self-driving travelers
