问题     At the age of eighteen I couldn’t wait to get my first job, which meant t made the first step toward adulthood.
    But it was difficult to get a work permit. One day I was dropped off by my parents at the【C1】________, where applicants took their physical tests for work permits. Although I had night blindness, my vision was clearer during the day, which helped me walk easily by myself. Then the doctor began the【C2】________. He looked into my eyes with a bright light. "I【C3】________your parents take you to an eye specialist," he said, "I suspect you have a retinal (视网膜) disease. If you do, you’ll never【C4】________a day in your life..."
    My parents did take me to specialists. After much time and money spent seeking an【C5】________result, it was determined that I had an eye disease that slowly【C6】________a person of sight. But still, during daylight, I could walk without【C7】________. I could read, but not for hours. My eyes began to tear and words slipped【C8】________the page when I read more than a few pages.

Their words were powerful, which encouraged me to try writing. Soon writing brought me a lot of【C10】________each time I completed a paper.

Next, a book series published several of my essays. I got interested in writing and【C12】________up with each acceptance. On the pages, readers never knew of my blindness【C13】________I chose to present it. For me, finding my voice through writing gave me the pride and satisfaction I【C14】________so many years ago. Now, I have numerous essays and articles in print.
    Should I be thanking that misguided doctor? By falsely predicting that I could never work a day, he fueled my【C15】________ into success. He set the bar too low and focused on what I wouldn’t be able to do. Yet I proved what I could do.
