Question

完形填空

The students of seventh grade walked into the hall with laughter and voices. We were told to listen to a speech by Mrs. Marks about bullying(欺負(fù)) and peer pressure (同伴壓力). During the whole year, our grade had listened to speeches on these topics over and over again. My friends and I sat back, preparing to sit through another _________ speech.

But as soon as Mrs. Marks started talking, she caught my attention. She talked in the way as if she knew how to reach into our minds and make us _________ . And for once, I actually began to think about what she was talking about.

One boy, especially, came to my mind. Every day, this boy came to school late. The students in the class would always make fun of him. They said, "Hey, man! Where have you been?" And then another added a more unfriendly joke. Their jokes would continue until the teacher _________ them to stop. But it was always too late. The boy would put his head down on his desk in _________ .

I felt really sorry for this _________ boy. Then I turned my attention back to the speaker and listened carefully till the end.

"Now, before I leave today, I would like to give everyone here an opportunity to say something on the subjects of bullying or peer pressure. You may apologize(道歉) to or thank someone. And I can promise that no one will _________ at you this time.

The silence in the room made me believe her. Slowly I saw a few hands rise. One girl wanted to apologize to a friend, and another thanked a boy for his kindness. It was then that my moment of _________ happened. The speaker called on me, and I began to talk.

"What you said today _________ makes sense. I know that it's true, because I see it every day in class. There is one person who is always made fun of." My voice shook, I think that everyone here has made fun of him. I know I have. And now I really_________ it. To us, it may just be a game, but to him, it must hurt. And I think well, I think we need to stop."

There was a silence for several seconds, but then, clapping quickly spread through the crowd.

Later that day, the boy thanked me. And from then on, the other students began to _________ him better. They stopped playing jokes on him and greeted him with a friendly "Hi". I was pleased I had voiced something that everyone was feeling.
