完整的短文。

It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from sevendifferent

primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and

walking the route (路线) through thick evergreen forest.

I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself

off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual bigtoothy

smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t withthe

other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.

What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!

I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what

had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at

him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not,and

let him decide.”

I bit back my frustration (懊恼 ). I knew the coach meant well — he

thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that Davidcould

run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his smallbody

rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.

David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running

like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as aregular

kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever theywere

doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that Davidhad

decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer — that’sall.

David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finishedhis

run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a specialeducation

teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced andwas

proud of his strong determination.
