第二节(满分25分)

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different  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 the fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy  smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the 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 David could run if he wanted,  I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body 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 a regular kid. He  always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That  was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join  the cross-country team. It just took him longer —that’s all. David had not  missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the  other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the  school, I was family with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong  determination.
