阅读理解 One day Mrs．Smith was sitting in her doctor's waiting room when a young boy and his mother entered the office．The young boy caught Mrs. Smith's attention because he wore a patch over one eye．She felt surprised at how unaffected he seemed to be by the loss of an eye and watched as he followed his mother to a chair nearby． The doctor's office was very busy that day, so Mrs. Smith had an opportunity to ask the little boy what had happened to his eye while he played with his soldiers. He considered her question for a long moment, then replied, "I'm a pirate （海盗）!"

A few minutes later，the nurse called her．As she balanced on her walking sticks, the boy noticed her amputation(截肢)．"Hey lady，"he called，"What‟s wrong with your leg？ Mrs. Smith looked down at her shortened leg for a moment．Then she replied with a smile，"Nothing．I'm a pirate，too.
