I always felt sorry for people in wheelchair. Some people, old and weak, cannot get 16___ by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits, and 17__themselves about with strong determination. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.
Then I fainted (晕倒) at Euro-Disney 18___low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest 19__after First Aid. I agreed to take it __20___but, as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad 21___ a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he __22__it.
I could not believe this was 23___to me. Wheelchairs were 24___for other people but not for me. As my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me 25___.
Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to 26___the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was 27___back and forth. “ 28___kids. Why 29___they watch where they’re going?” I thought.
People passing by stared down at me, 30___in their eyes. Then they would look 31__, maybe because they thought the 32___they forgot me, the better.
“I am just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only 33___is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”
People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the 34___, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly 35___.
