Reggie couldn’t hear a thing. He was a normal boy, but he had been born deaf. He was well known to everyone in town, and they were all very fond of him. 35 unfortunately, he was always treated differently from everyone else. Children 36 that they would hurt him, adults acted like he was unable to understand them, as if he was a baby.

Reggie didn’t like this very much. But the person who disliked it the most was his friend Michael, who decided that things had to be 37 . Michael’s father was the town’s Mayor, and Michael managed to convince him that this year, in honor of Reggie, they should offer one day to deaf people. During that whole day everyone in town would have to 38 earplugs(耳塞).

People liked the idea, because everyone loved Reggie. The day became known 39 the Day of Silence, and when it arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears with great 40 . That morning was filled with jokes and laughter. But, as the hours passed, people became aware of (意识到) how 41 life was when you couldn't hear anything. However, learning about how life was more difficult for the deaf was 42 compared to the greatest discovery of the day: Reggie was amazing!

On that day no one was thinking of Reggie as 43 a deaf person. This meant he could be treated just like any other little boy; and people saw a whole new side of him. Not only that, but Reggie had a 44 mind. On that day, using his usual gestures (手势), Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone. This meant that people paid more attention to what he was saying, and they were surprised by his intelligence and his ability to find solutions to almost any problem. They realized that in normal life all Reggie needed was a little more time than others to communicate. That was the only 45 .

So the Day of Silence was the day when Reggie’s true nature became known. And it was the day that everyone realized you have to give people a chance to show how 46　 they are.
