专题03 A healthy life The Best Nourishment of Life 生命最好的养料 A little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because poliomyelitis made his leg lame and his teeth uneven and protrudent. He seldom played with his classmates；and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word. 一个小男孩几乎认为自己是世界上最不幸的孩子，因为小儿麻痹症使他腿脚行动不便，牙齿参差不齐。他很少跟同学们玩耍，老师叫他回答问题时，他也总是低着头一言不发。 One spring, the boy’s father asked for some saplings from the neighbor.
