(D)
This is a true story about a boy who，the world might say，was a terrible underachiever.
While in the eighth grade，he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn't much better，he flunked English，Algebra，Latin，and received a grade of zero in Physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team，but he lost the most important golf match of the season. It's not that other teenagers disliked this boy. It's just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even "Hellos" in the hall were hardly said. Out of all the failures in his life，there was something that did hold great importance to this boy—his love of drawing. Although in high school，the cartoons he made were refused，once out of school，the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he went to find Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and hired him right away，but such was not the case; another huge letdown.
Even though he had no successes，this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons，about a little boy who was considered as a loser and a nobody.
The name of this boy was Charles Schulz，the creator of the famous character Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.
In life，it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work，or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall，and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside，we may know we are special and unusual and have lots to offer，but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance，we may feel worthless，just like Charlie Brown who couldn't even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.
Just as Charles Schulz believed in his artistic talent，so too，we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents，and every person deserves to be loved and valued.

（D）
这是一个关于一个男孩的真实故事，世人可能会说，他是一个非常糟糕的后进生。
在八年级的时候，他的科目屡次不及格。高中也好不到哪里去，他英语、代数、拉丁语都不及格，物理还得了零分。这个男孩设法进入了学校的高尔夫球队，但他输掉了赛季中最重要的高尔夫比赛。并不是其他青少年不喜欢这个男孩。只是他们似乎从来没有真正注意过他。甚至在走廊里连“你好”都很少说。在他一生的所有失败中，有一件事对这个男孩来说非常重要——他对绘画的热爱。虽然在高中时，他画的漫画被拒绝了，但一离开学校，这个男孩就对自己的艺术天赋非常有信心，他带着绘画作品去找了华特·迪士尼工作室。我希望我能说工作室喜欢他的作品并马上雇佣了他，但事实并非如此；又一次巨大的失望。
尽管他没有成功，但这个男孩没有放弃。然后他决定用漫画写自己的自传，讲述一个被认为是失败者和无名小卒的小男孩的故事。
这个男孩的名字叫查尔斯·舒尔茨，他是著名角色查理·布朗和漫画狗史努比的创作者。
在生活中，有时我们很容易觉得自己是个无名小卒。我们在上班的路上会从街上的几百个人身边走过，或者在商场里穿过一群面无表情的人，似乎没有人注意或在意。在内心深处，我们可能知道自己很特别、与众不同，有很多东西可以奉献，但除非有人花时间关注我们并给我们一个机会，否则我们可能会觉得自己毫无价值，就像查理·布朗甚至都不能正确地放风筝或踢足球一样。
就像查尔斯·舒尔茨相信自己的艺术天赋一样，我们也必须认识到，没有人是无名小卒。我们都有特殊的天赋和才能，每个人都值得被爱和被重视。
