It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly. Special Olympics sports meeting. My   1  had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）.
Mark was one with the latter. Restricted to a   2 , he had to fight his spasms （抽筋） just to control his movements.   3 , he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a huge smile.
His classmates   4  him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at   5 . Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his   6  and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with   7  .
When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas   8  well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer about. Mark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines,  9   them on.
The final event of the day was the 400 meter race.   10  was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the   11  length of the track.
When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they   12   and turned to look behind them. At the   13   of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had   14   him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to   15 .
Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent   16  passed between them. Slowly, they jogged   17  towards their friend, cheering him on   18  he had done for them moments before.
The progress was   19 , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face as he crossed the finish line, hands upraised and laughing, I came to understand what   20  the Special Olympics, and the determined athletes who compete, so extraordinary.
Years later, I’m still cheering them on.
