I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when
Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper
around the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our
group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B. informed us that she would take
into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next
day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. Missy was one of my friends.
I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously expected
the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. B called
for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three,
Missy's name was called. "So I'm in
group three," I thought. The second, third and fourth members
of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: "Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina."
I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the
boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that
went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird (怪异的) clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted
to be with my friends.
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. B. She looked at me and knew
what I was there for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the
"good" group. "Why?" I started.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. "I know what you want, Karina,"
she said, "but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing
grade on this task. Only you can
help them."

I was amazed after hearing what she said.
Finally the result of assignment came out.
答案:One possible version I was amazed after hearing what she said. She had seen something in me I hadn't seen. "Will you help them?" she asked. I stood straighter. "Yes," I replied. I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I bravely walked to my group and sat down. Different newspaper columns were assigned according to interests. We did research. Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three partners. I grew sincerely interested in learning something about them. Finally the result of assignment came out. To our surprise, we got the first prize. After that semester ended, I always received a friendly hello from my group. And I was always happy to see them. I don't recall what the newspaper's headline was or even the culture we wrote about, but I did learn something that week. I was given a chance to see other people in a new light. They weren't misfits, just people that no one cared enough about to try to understand except Mrs. Bartlett. She gave us an A on that assignment. We should have handed it right back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.
