About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our local park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on a smaller, skinnier boy. They were 1 him names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face. 2 I saw that, I walked over to the group.
I stepped 3 them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of 4 they were doing to him. One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” At that, I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the 5 was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird” 6 , and he said, “Different.” That was my cue(暗示). I told them that everyone is 7 , and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood 8 for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He 9 to let him play with them.
I thanked the boy for being so 10 . As I looked around, I realized that there were dozens of other people at the park 11 no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was strong enough to stand up against his friends to 12 someone in need, but I felt sad that 13 else had even taken a second look.
I hope that my action helped them 14 that they could have made a difference with a little 15 , and maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.

“Hi! John.” Mary ran towards me with a bright smile, saying, “I’m going to have a dance performance tonight. I hope you’ll come. Here is the ticket. Don’t forget!” Then she 41in a hurry.
“What? Dance? Is that 42 ?” I asked myself. Mary was not such kind of girl. She was quite common one. I had never seen her wearing colorful clothes. In fact, she really did not know 43 to dress up. What a terrible thing!
“I should go to, I must go to.” I thought.
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, found my seat and sat down. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would have a 44 time before her turn, for I had no sense of art, 45 her performance was worth(值得)watching, no matter how long I would wait.
Time went 46 , I tried my best not to fall asleep.
Just then, came the words, “Let’s welcome the next exciting dance – Latin!”
Hearing this, I opened my eyes as large as possible, 47 to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shiny skirt, Mary appeared. She danced with a sweet smile, looking like a pretty butterfly flying … I could 48 believe my eyes.
After all the performance ended, I 49 her at the gate.
“Hi!” She stood in front of me with her crystal(水晶) shoes. “How do you feel?”
“Fantastic!” I answered.
“Ha, ha. I knew it would be.” She could not hide her excitement, laughing 50a child.
At that time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.
