making observations(观察) about something that 4 you. Based on your
1

smart guess about what you think could happen. Then you are ready to begin your

statement about 9 your hypothesis was correct or not. You have to have

deafness.

also began to lose my 3 . Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神经损伤)
was the 4 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music
never left me.”

stocking feet and can 6 the pitch of a note(音调高低)by the vibrations(振动)I feel through my body and through my imagination. My sound world exists by
making use of almost every 7 that I have.”

your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”
