On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t

_________ her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me, “or the others will laugh at you.”

Amy had many physical differences—lots of reasons for other kids to laugh at her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were very thick. And she had really ugly teeth.

Every day _________ we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a _________ face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her hat. Make her put it back on!” For a while I shouted my share of insults, just so I’d fit in(合群). After all, I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.

But while I was insulting her, I felt _________ for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so ashamed(羞愧) and alone. Then I wanted to _________her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates until the night of our class roller-skating party.

Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to _________ like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. We began the journey together around the skating rink (溜冰场). She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in _________.

On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me skating together, _________ nobody insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.
