Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s long brown hair when she noticed that with each comb, masses of the hair were coming out. That was January 1, 2017. Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride’s hair was completely gone, and her
doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6.8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.
Alopecia isn’t painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the agony comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa’s first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of “Baldy” (秃子) made her feel like an abandoned child. “I didn’t want her to feel that she wasn’t like the other kids,” her mother said. “I tried covering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncomfortable.”
Then comes the school’s traditional “Crazy Hair Day” in April, and Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hide Gianessa’s baldness under the artificial hair, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker (贴纸) jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. “They just fit her personality,” Daniella smiled. “She’s so lovely.”
On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother’s encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. “I was sad at first when I lost all my hair,” she told people. “But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can’t. I’m thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some colorful butterflies and flowers.” 24. Why did Gianessa become bald? A. Because she wanted to be different. B. Because she had all her hair cut
C. Because her mother combed her hair too often. D. Because she suffered from a kind of disease.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “agony” in Paragraph Two?
A. Worry. B. Delight C. Pain. D. Pride
26. How does Gianessa feel about her baldness after the “Crazy Hair Day”? A. Optimistic B. Upset C. Pain D. Worried 27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Gianessa’s hair was gone B. Being bald is beautiful
