Ⅱ．阅读理解 A （2013·惠州高二质检）Back in 1996, I had been working as a public radio reporter for several years, when I met a teenager named Josh Cutler.Josh has a rare brain disorder（紊乱）．Because of his disease, Josh sometimes says-or yells（叫喊）—things that he can’t control. Josh was just starting his second year in high school when he agreed to work with me on a story about his disease.I gave Josh a tape recorder so he could keep a record of his daily life.This took a lot of courage for Josh.But there was one thing he couldn’t bring himself to do：record at school.Josh and I agreed that an important part of his story would involve talking to kids at school about his disease.But Josh just couldn’t do it.He was afraid the microphone（麦克风）would make him look stupid, and no one would want to be interviewed.On one occasion, Josh brought the equipment to school for recording, but he kept the microphone hidden inside his schoolbag the whole time, with the tape rolling.Then one day, after months of excuses, Josh got brave.During lunch he pulled out the microphone.What happened next was a total surprise.Josh tells it best：“Everyone tried their best to take the chance and started asking me questions about my disease.It was weird because, before that, I had never really talked about it to anyone — except my mom and dad.” R
