I set up a classroom library of books that I bought with my own money．The library looks beautiful, like a flower shop．And my students like it very much．I read the children a story．It is about a girl who is so 1 that she wears the 2 dress to school every day．But she says she has a hundred dresses at home．The other girls laugh at her until she goes away． 3 , her classmates find she really has a hundred dresses －a hundred beautiful drawings of dresses．Oh, God, every child 4 when I close the book． 5 a moment everything is quiet．Then a boy 6 in my ear, “I have to tell the class something．” He shows me that he has half a finger missing．”
I turn him to the class and put my hand on his shoulders．He is a bit nervous．“ I…I only have nine and a half fingers．” He 7 his hands．“Please don’t laugh at me about it．” The students become noisy．Then one boy calls out, “ 8 who makes fun of you , I’ll kick him．” “Me, too,” says 9 ．
When the boy sees the class become united(团结的), he is very 10 and smiles at me．
