They are children of the stars．They are not deaf，but they sometimes ignore information from outside．They are not blind，but they sometimes have no eye contact with people around them．They are not dumb，but they sometimes don't speak to anyone．They are autistic（自闭症的） children，living alone in their own worlds．

It was a very fine day，Jane went to the theatre on her birthday with her sister and brother-in-law，Bill．It was a historical play，set（75）Cthe eighteenth century，so all the actors were wearing costumes of the period．The first act was quite exciting．It was
about a gypsy who had hypnotic powers．At first he had used those powers to help people who were ill．But now he used them for the sake of money．He hypnotized a nobleman and put him under his（76）Cas part of his plan．When the curtain fell for
the intermission，the audience clapped loudly．Jane had （77）Abeen to the theater before，so the acting and costumes made her quite excited．
During the intermission，she looked around at the rest of the audience in the
balcony．She looked down to the stores and along the boxes．Suddenly，her gaze stopped．A man in one of the boxes（78）Ca gun and aiming it at the editor．"Look over there，"Jane whispered her sister．"Whatever do you think he's going to do？""It must be a（an）（79）Aof the play，"replied her sister，"No one has been shot in the theater since
Abraham Lincoln．""I suppose you're right，"said Jane．"You've seen the play before，
Bill．Does anyone get shot during the second act？""I can't remember．Anywhere the
director could have introduced it．Don't worry．I'm sure it's all right．"Halfway through
the second act the gypsy had an argument，and then a fight with the nobleman．In the middle of the fight，the gypsy fell down on the stage．The audience gasped．They（80）Bthat he had fainted．Jane looked at the box where the man with the gun had been．He had gone!
