What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with "normal" faces. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the movie Wonder shows us that there is no such thing as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (base) on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity(畸形) and has spent most of his life being home schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with judgmental classmates and learn to accept {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) as he is.

    In the US, most kids {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (teach) that it is OK to be different. Most people in the US celebrate being unique.

    But some kids have difficulty {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(accept) uniqueness. It's easy to pick on someone who's different, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(especial) if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another central theme from the movie—even the kids {#blank#}7{#/blank#} pick on Auggie have their own {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(person) struggles.

    As Auggie's classmates get to know him better, they come to find that he's a nice kid {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude toward him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

    My experience of teaching students was a wonderful adventure. I had to deal with various challenges again and again.

    The {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (great) part of it was the relationship I developed with two students. One of the students was Michael, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I met when I was working for a kindergarten. Before I became a morning bus assistant, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hear) that Michael was a student who would always shout, stand up on the bus, make fun {#blank#}4{#/blank#} other students, and distract the bus driver. So I decided that each morning, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he got on the bus, I'd have Michael sit beside me. At first he didn't like this idea. But soon he settled down, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (know) he had no choice. I began to talk to him about little things outside of school life, such as his weekend {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (activity) and things that he liked to do. I also listened {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (close) to him. As I gave Michael the attention that he needed, little by little, he began to behave better and better.

    Another student I took a special interest in was a boy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (name) Tony, a third grader. To some degree, Tony seemed to be a slow or passive learner. So I decided to see if I could find a way to encourage Tony {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (stay) at the task. Before long, he was paying more attention to his studies and scored high in all tests.

    The giant panda {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(love) by people throughout the world. Chinese scientists{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (recent) had a chance to study a wild female panda with a newborn baby. She was a very{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (care) mother. For 25 days, she never left her baby, not even to find something (eat)! S{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he would not let any other pandas come near. She licked the baby constantly to keep it clean. Any smell might attract natural{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (enemy) that would try to eat the little comforting pats. The mother held the baby in her front paws much the way a human does, it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}cried, she rocked it back and forth and gave it little comforting pats, The mother continued to care for the young panda {#blank#}7{#/blank#} more than two years. By that time, the panda no longer needed {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) mother for food. However, it stayed with her and leaned about the ways of the forest. Then, after two and a half years, the mother {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(drive) the young panda away. It was time for her to have a new baby, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was also time for the young panda to be independent.
