It was the beginning of a new term. As a(n)   36   teacher in that school, I didn’t know any of the students. A little girl was   37   at the gate of the classroom. She looked very   38  .

I walked up to her and asked   39   she stood there. But she said   40  . Instead, a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the   41   student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl, who didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I   42   why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and   43   her into the classroom.

I later learnt that her parents   45   in a car accident, and she had   46   talking to others since then. She learnt very   47  . I gave her respect and never   48   her as I know everybody deserves (值得) respect. I   49   her after school, and she was making   50   little by little. I encouraged her and as   51   went by, she was not as shy as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her   52  . She was not one of the best students when she left that school,   53   at least, she was not that shy and sad little girl any longer.

In the following   54  , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I received a(n)   55   to her wedding. And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.

Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy!
