J. Palacio bases Wonder on August or “Auggie” Pullman, a ten-year-old boy born with a deformed (残缺的) face that made him usually discriminated (歧视) against. Due to the twenty-seven     1    , he was forced to be homeschooled. Before learning officially in Beecher Prep, August went to meet the principal, Mr. Tushman, who invited three kids in the same grade to take him on a school tour.     2     (a boy’s name) and Charlotte were nice, but Julian was noticeably rude. Then August struggled in the first few months of school, especially when he realized there existed a rumor (谣言) that touching him would catch the “     3    ”. Luckily, he still befriended Jack and     4     (a girl’s name) who sat with him at lunchtime. Things, however, got a lot worse on     5     typically August’s favorite day. He overheard Jack badmouthing him while he was disguised in Bleeding Scream costume. August’s fragile world came tumbling (坍塌) down with this betrayal, and he stopped going to school. Eventually,     6     (August’s sister’s name) convinced (说服) him not to let the bullies (霸凌) win. August returned to school and later learned that Jack stood up for him by     7     Julian who made the entire class against Jack. But Summer, August, and Jack grew closer as real friends. Later during a school     8    , a group of older kids assaulted (袭击) August when Henry, Miles, and Amos protected him. It was at that time that August realized that he had more friends than he thought. With time, Auggie fit in within the school system and other students began to notice how brilliant he was. At the graduation ceremony, August received an     9     for bravery and kindness. Now, everyone knew him for who he was as a person and not for what he looked like. At the end of the narrative (叙述), August’s mom thanked him for being such “a     10    ” to others.
