    Tina was a seventeen-year-old girl who always wore a bright smile. She suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn't speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked1 and people didn't know how to come near to her. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “2.”

    In one class, I gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite(背诵) a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my students would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student 3 to correctly recite the poem. 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.

    Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we're not normal! We are teenagers! We get in 9 all the time.” “I know,” Tina said as a big 10 spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.

    Tina got only a few points that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.

    The teacher sent me home with a note for my mother that said I needed to visit the eye doctor because I failed the vision test. The trip home that day was very slow.

    My mother said it would all be just fine. "It wouldn't hurt a bit," she said. But I wasn't worried about pain-I was worried about looking 1.

    The next day, my mother pulled me to the eye doctor's office. I 2 a set of frames (镜框) and tried to believe my mother when she said they looked really 3 on me. The doctor said the glasses would be ready soon. But I wasn't ready at all, and I didn't think I ever would be.

    When the glasses arrived, the eye doctor put them on my face and walked me out onto the sidewalk in front of his office. When I looked 4 from my shoes, I found myself in a whole new world – a world filled with 5 pictures, bright colours, and fine detail everywhere I looked. Suddenly I 6 the beautiful outline of red leaves on trees. I could see the details of people's faces long before they were standing in front of me. I could see my mother 7 as she watched me see the world in a whole new way.

    "Glasses aren't so bad, are they?" Mom asked.

    "Not at all," I thought to myself. On that first day, they were a 8.

    The Monday morning came, and I had to 9 the kids in my classroom. And it happened, just like I feared it would be. A mean kid pointed at me in the middle of the maths class and shouted, "Four 10!" But at the same moment, looking through my new glasses, I could see all the way across the room that the kid who had said it had an awfully big nose.
