一、阅读理解
I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.
For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls, so I often bent my body at the back of the line. I always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade.
My grandfather didn't laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me, "Stand straight and tall, Alisa." I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. "Stand straight, stand tall" meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life. "If they could do it, why couldn't I? Stand straight, stand tall," he often reminded himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language.
"Stand straight, stand tall, " he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather's unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.
"Stand straight, stand tall" has become a piece of advice to improve my posture. It also tells me to be proud of who I am. And I do.
