It was the beginning of a new term. As a new teacher in that school, I didn't know any of the students. A little girl was   1   at the gate of the classroom. She looked very   2 .

I walked up to her and asked   3   she stood there. But she said nothing 4 , a boy shouted, "She is from Grade Four, the   5 student in her grade." I looked at the little girl, who didn't seem to be the smart kind. I   6   why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and   7   her into the classroom.

    "Sit here. Now you are my student and I'm your teacher. "I said to her kindly.

    I gave her respect （尊重） and never looked down upon her. I helped her after school and as time went by, she was making   8   little by little. She was not one of the best students when she left that school,   9  at least, she was not that shy girl any longer.

    In the following years, she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I received a（n）. 10  to her wedding （婚礼）. And now I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.
