That was Diana’s ______ to life. Losing a leg would cause most children to lose ______, but Diana refused to think about the ______ side. “Losing a leg?” she’d say. “It’s nothing. A body part.”

3 . The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often   _______ about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who _______ that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this _______ girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how could I help her _______ in with us? There had to be a _______ .

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had _______ her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)   _______ copy.

I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming _______ show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had   _______ . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted ________the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough   ________. Could you help me, Suzy?”

On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s ________ were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) ________ award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students ________ them.”

I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw ________ well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ ________ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a ________ ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”

Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.

I ________ , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never   ________ anything in her whole life.

Everyone started to ________their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.

A_________ came, “Nice shirt.” I smiled from ear to ear. Then another voice said, “That shirt belonged to my dad. Greg’s mother works for my family. We were going to _______that shirt away, but gave it to her_______.” I was speechless. I wanted to hide.

I_______ the shirt in the back of the closet and told my mum what had happened. She then dialed her_________, “I will no longer work for your family,” she told him. That night, Mom told my dad that she couldn’t clean anymore; she knew her life’s_______ was something greater.

After the first year in college, she went back to the personnel manager. He said, “You are_______, aren’t you? I think I have a________ for you as a teacher assistant.
