完形填空
Students in high schools can be cruel and we
certainly refer to a young man named Matt who was in my class. We laughed at him
about his 1 .
He was at least fifty pounds overweight.
One day he sat near me in a 2.
Someone pushed him and he 3on me and hurt my foot quite badly. With
the whole class 4, I had to choose either 5 it off or have a fight with him. I chose to fight
in order to keep my 6.
I shouted," Come on, Matt, let's fight."
He said he didn't want to. But peer pressure(同伴的压力)7 him into the fight whether he liked it or not.
He came toward me with his fists(拳头)
in the air. With one 8I bloodied(弄出血)
his nose and the classroom became 9. No one dared to say a word. Just then the
teacher walked into the classroom, He saw that we were 10 and sent us out to the playground.
He followed us with a 11on
his face and said, "I want you two boys to go out there and run that mile holding
each other's hands." The room broke into laughter. The two of us were 12,
but Matt and I went out to the track and ran our mile —13.
During the course of our run, I looked at him,
with blood still flowing from his nose and his 14slowing
him down. It hurt me that here was a person, not all that different from myself.
I no longer saw Matt as fat. It was amazing what I learned I was forced to go hand-in-hand
with someone for only one mile.
For
the rest of my life I have never 15 a hand
against another person. I know it is wrong to do so.
