I didn’t cry when I learned I was the parent of a disabled child. I just sat still and didn’t say anything.    

When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten（幼儿园）. On the first morning, Jenny spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very(41).    

However, to my joy, Jenny’s classmates always (42) her, “You got all your spelling words right today!” In fact, her spelling list was the (43). Later, she faced a very painful (44) —— at the end of the term, there was a game which had (45) to do with physical education. But Jenny was (46) in it.    

My husband and I were anxious about the day. I wanted to let my child stay home! But my heart wouldn’t let me off that easily. So I (47) a pale, unwilling Jenny onto the school bus.    

At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her (48) action, Jenny would probably hold up her team. The game went well until it was time for the sack（麻袋）race. Surely Jenny would find it (49). Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.    

But as it was her turn to join, a change took place in her (50). The tallest boy behind Jenny placed his hands on her waist（腰）. Two other boys (51) in front of her. The moment the player before Jenny stepped out from the sack, the two boys (52) the sack suddenly and kept it open while the tall boy lifted Jenny and (53) her into it. A girl nearby took her hand and supported her (54) Jenny got her balance. Then she jumped forward, smiling and proud. In the cheers of the teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who made it  (55) for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.

It was yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other’s yearbooks in the cafeteria. I was president of the class and I played sports. When I sat down at a table, people started to come over to get their yearbooks signed and to sign   36   .

Among them, a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had seem him around , and I knew he was always laughed at. He seemed  37   of himself, and was so pale that it  38   us to look at him. He came up and asked me  39   , “Can you sign this?” I took his yearbook but I didn’t know  40   to write. I saw that there was the name “Ricky Sanders” written on the front of it. So I wrote:

Ricky,

I think you’re a really nice kid, and I hope you have lots of fun in your summer vacation.

                                      Signature: Will

                                    (Sign your name here)

I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of my friends when I  41     my yearbook was gone.  I saw that Ricky had sat down with my yearbook. “ What are you doing?” I asked him. He looked up calmly(平静地)and  42   said “sign!” My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully trying to put a signature in my yearbook. He hadn’t even finished the “R” yet. I thought for  a while and  43   to let him sign.

It  44  him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there was a very shaky “RICKY”. He hugged(紧抱) his yearbook and  45  .I couldn’t help but smile back at him.

In that moment., my  46   changed completely.

I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature. He was asked politely to write in their yearbooks and the signature   47  of his yearbook were filled up. He was smiling so big that it lit up the whole room.

I changed schools the next year, and I never saw Ricky again.  48   ,I will never forget the day that he became the most  49   guy in school. Whenever I’m   50  ,I still look back at that yearbook.
