  25.C.推理判断题.根据第二段IoncemissedajobinterviewbecauseImisheardtheaddressonthephone.Forthefirsttime,IhadtoadmitthatIhadlostsomething可知当作者佩戴助听器时,她感到失落;故选C.

  26.A. 细节理解题.根据第三段"ButIknewifItold,peoplemightseeonlymydisability,andtheymightforgetthatIwasalsoawriter,apainter,andagoodgardener可知她没有把残疾告诉别人因为人们会只关注自己的听力失常;故选A.

  27.B.推理判断题.根据最后一段Thissharingiswhatboththedisabledandnon-disabledwant.Everyoneofus,ifwelivelongenough,willbecomedisabledinsomeway可知文章的目的是告诉人们不要用不同的方式对待残疾人;故选B.
