The students often gather together in small,closed groups.If you are not part of a group，it can be difficult for you to be accepted.This is especially true if you can't speak to the members of the group in their language.
This was the situation Sam faced each day as he went to class.Sam and his family moved to France last month. Before he arrived, he knew there would be many difficulties. But they were even worse than he had imagined.
Every lunch hour, after arriving at his new school, Sam sat alone in the dining hall.He looked at all the different groups of students around him. But he had no way to let them know that he was a good person. He simply couldn't find the right words to reach them．
Sam knew he had to find a way to change the situation. Somehow, he had to adapt （适应） to this new environment．He did a little research on the Internet and discovered that smiling is universal language, it is understood everywhere.
One morning, as Sam was walking by a group of students, he smiled at them. A boy in group smiled back at him. For Sam, this was a good beginning. Later, he noticed the boy coming towards him in the hall with a warm smile on his face. Sam returned the smile.
Soon the boy asked Sam to join him and his group of friends for lunch.
Although Sam wasn't able to say much in French，everyone smiled and laughed. Before he knew it, Sam had a group of friends，and they all wanted to help him learn French.

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.
