Tina was a seventeen-year-old girl who always wore a bright smile. She suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn’t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked______ and people didn’t know how to come near to her. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “ ____ .”
In one class, I gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite(背诵) a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my students would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student _____ to correctly recite the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who ______ recite the poem had to do three push-up (俯卧撑). To my surprise Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. ____ she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she _____ her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just joking!” But she _____ , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.
When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!” “Because I want to be like you guys! To be ____ .” Tina said.
Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! We are teenagers! We get in ____ all the time.” “I know,” Tina said as a big _____ spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.
Tina got only a few points that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.
