As a freshman in high school, Patti announced, \Francisco.\distance of 400 miles.) \a sophomore （二年级学生）， \went on, \going to run to Portland, Oregon. \000 miles.)\In view of her handicap(缺陷）， Patti was as ambitious as she was enthusiastic, but she said she looked at the handicap of being an epileptic as simply＂an inconvenience. \what she had lost, but on what she had left.
That year she completed her run to San Francisco wearing a T-shirt that read,＂I Love Epileptics. \— \
On her second marathon(马拉松），a doctor told her she had to stop.＂Doctor, you don't understand, \ She finished the run to Portland, completing her last mile with the governor of Oregon. After four months of almost continuous running from the West Coast to the East Coast, Patti arrived in Washington and shook the hand of the then President of the United States. She told him, \wanted people to know that epileptics are normal human beings with normal lives.\

In the dictionary, a clown(小丑）is described as an entertainer who wears funny clothes, has a painted face and makes people laugh by performing tricks and behaving in a silly way. But there has been nothing silly about the creepy clowns that seem to be appearing in various parts of America since this summer. The situation has become so ridiculous that police departments and schools are appealing to the public and students to stop dressing up as evil(邪恶的）clowns to scare people.
The fear of clowns is not a joke. Many find that the painted face, funny clothes and other clown-like behavior actually scares them. Bullies(恶霸）are putting this unreasonable fear to use and clowning seems to have become a new way to scare people. .
Recently, an 11-year-old boy was pulled up in California. He admitted that he scared fellow students with pictures of scary clowns. In other examples, there have been reports of people dressed as clowns trying to lure(引诱）children to unsafe places.
Clowning seems to have become popular among school bullies as a new form of expression. To protect and keep students safe, many schools have now banned clown costumes in schools and especially for Halloween. While this is a good thing, the consequence of such a ban has had bad effects on the folks who have made a living clowning all their lives!
Professional clowns have been upset by the threat to their jobs. Think about it, is it fair to the real clowns that their profession is being looked at with suspicion（怀疑），when all they try to do is make us laugh with light-hearted silly acts? An organization to protect clowns called \Matter\that clowns are not just a painted face, they are people too!
28. What does the underlined word \A. Frightening. B. Amusing. C. Strange. D. Silly 29. What did the 11-year-old boy do? A. He put children in danger.
B. He threatened others with clown pictures. C. He played tricks on some clowns. D. He dressed as an evil clown.
30. What measure has been taken by many schools? A. Asking the police for help.
B. Cancelling Halloween activities at school. C. Forbidding students to dress as clowns.
D. Banning students from seeing clown performances.
