19． （12.5分）One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public
library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more weapon for her to
defeat my strange problem﹣inability to read．
In the library，I found my way into the"Children's Room．"I sat down on the floor and pulled a
few books off the shelf at random．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of
a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a
child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who
had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog．I ran my fingers
over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with
a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the
library for the summer．
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with
difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog
who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back
home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，
my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，
in my mind，running together．
My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a
book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read．But I had read
it．Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them．

I never told my mother about my"miraculous"（奇迹般地） experience that summer，but she
saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next
year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a
PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the
words has held．
