完形填空。

About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our city park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on(作弄) a smaller boy. They were calling his names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked something in his face. When I saw that, I walked over to the group.

I stepped _______ them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done . One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” Then I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the _______ was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird” _______ and he said, “Different.” That was my cue(暗示). I told them that everyone was _______ and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood _______ for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He even _______ him to play with them.

I thanked the boy for being so brave. As I looked around, I realized that there were many other people at the park _______ no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was _______ to stand up against his friends to help someone in need, but I felt sad that _______ else had even taken a second look.
