1 .He was nearly six years old,only 28
pounds and his face was criss-crossed(交叉着) with scares. 2 ,he was terrified.Luke kicked and 3 .His cries were animal-like.I

kick.After an hour and a half he finally fell asleep,exhausted.I called 5 .They delivered every noodle dish on the
menu.After Luke woke up I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food.He
stopped crying and started to eat.That night we went for a walk. 6 at the moon,he pantomimed(打手势),“What is it?”I
said,“The moon,it’s the moon.”He 7 and tried to touch it.He cried again when
I tried to give him a bath 8 I started to play with the water.By the
end of his bath the room was soaked and he was 9 .Then we read the book One Yellow Lion.He loved looking at the 10 pictures and 11 the pages.By the end of the night he was
saying“? 12
