Mary will ever forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in class one day ,1(wear) sun glasses . He walked in as if he2(buy) the school ,And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City.
For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt3(please), because there were many empty seats in the room .But she quickly realized that it wasn't her, it was probably the fact that she sat in4last row.
5he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little6(hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turn to look at him, they had to look at Mary ,7made her feel like a star .
"Do you need those glasses for medical reasons ?" the teacher asked .The new boy shook his head ."Then I'd appreciate it if you didn't wear them in class .I like to look at your eyes when I'm speaking to you." The new boy looked at the teacher8a few seconds and all the other students wondered9the boy would do .Then he took10off , gave a big smile and said "That is cool."
My little son Logan had cerebral palsy(脑瘫). I should thank Tri-North Buiders, in which I was working, for 36 him. Four years ago, Tri-North Buiders 37 a daycare center called Little Buiders Day School. Little Buiders had 10 38 ranging in age from 6 weeks to 5 years, with three full-time teachers and a part-time teacher 39 there. All the four teachers helped Logan with his daily 40 , including feeding, walking and playing.
41 Logan couldn’t speak, the teachers 42 with him through pictures. Logan was then 43 in all activities, such as art projects, plays, field trips, ect . Many things were centered 44 Logan.
Later, when Logan recovered to be almost like a 45 child and was preparing for his transition(过渡,转变)to the public school, the daycare workers worked with the school to ensure a(n) 46 transition. Not only was Logan 47 by the school, but the non-disabled children there were not surprised by Logan’s special 48 , which made Little Builders a perfect place to help today’s children 49 people like Logan.
I used to spend a lot of time in the daycare center. When Logan first began to learn to eat, he 50 ate with me or his father around . It was not 51 for me to carry Logan about while feeding him. I know that Logan would not be doing as 52 as he does now if not 53 Tri-North Buiders Company. In a world of making money at all __54 _, I think you should know about the company making a(n) 55

There is a virtue (美德)in China-Respecting the 36 and care for the young”. About the above two aspects, we will discuss the former one in this passage.
Why should we 37 the old? because they are ahead of us in age, in wisdom and in experience. Our elders have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 38 everything to their kindness and love.
When we show them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 .
With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

As I held my father’s hands one night, I couldn’t help but notice their calluses (老茧) and roughness. His hands tell the story of his life as a 16 , including all his struggles.
