Her grandfather first gave her this 3, and it seemed to fit the little girl so 4 that soon it took the place of her own.

She loved 8. She would sit by her mother's side for an hour at a time, and ask her many questions. At other times, she would take a new book and read quietly. Susie was always pleasant in her play with other children. She never used a(n) 9 word , but tried to do whatever would make her playmates happy.

    One day, a(n) 10 little girl with an old torn dress passed by. Susie heard some children teasing and laughing at her. She at once ran out to the gate, and asked the little girl to come 11.

    “What are you crying for?” Susie asked. “Because they all 12 at me.” she said.

    Then Susie took the little girl into the house. She 13 the little girl with kind words, and she gave her one of her own best dresses and a good pair of shoes. This brought real 14 to the poor child, and she thought that Sunbeam was the 15 name for Susan Brown.

Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who 4 recite the poem had to do three push-up (俯卧撑). To my surprise Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. 5 she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she 6 her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just joking!” But she7 , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.

    When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It's not an important assignment!” “Because I want to be like you guys! To be 8 .” Tina said.
