We will meet many people in our life, and each person's 1 counts. When I was nine years old, one day while I was studying in class, a new student arrived. I thought it would just be a 2 student, but he was 3.
His name was Derek and he had autism (自闭症). He 4 had random outbursts (随意发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing 5 we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. 6 class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating (模仿) Derek, and 7 at him.
Then one day, Derek's mom came to our 8 and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts-he was trying to 9. Then she chose volunteer and filled that classmate's 10 with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was 11 every day. We all understood her meaning.
After this 12, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We 13 his outbursts in class and he became one of our 14. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have a (n)15 mind to those who are different from us. My 16 in having an autistic classmate has 17 me with a good lesson.
Now 18 I meet a child who's 19 differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade and head for him or her 20.
