The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often___ about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family intown who decided that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this tiny girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a___________.

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)___________copy.

I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming___________show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?

On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s___________were everywhere all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded.  “One of our own students____them.”

I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw that well?”

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a___________, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan!”

Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you.” she cried.

I realized at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never___________anything in her whole life.

Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
