It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly Special Olympics sports meeting. My 36 had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy(大腦性麻痹).
Mark was one with the latter. Restricted to a 37 , he had to fight his spasms (抽筋) just to control his movements. 38 , he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a huge smile.
His classmates 39 him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at 40 . Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his 41 and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with 42 .
When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas 43 well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer about. Mark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines, 44 them on.
The final event of the day was the 400 meter race. 45 was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the 46 length of the track.
When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they 47 and turned to look behind them. At the 48 of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had 49 him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to 50 .
Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent 51 passed between them. Slowly, they jogged 52 towards their friend, cheering him on 53 he had done for them moments before.
The progress was 54 , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face as he crossed the finish line, hands upraised and laughing, I came to understand what 55 the Special Olympics, and the determined athletes who compete, so extraordinary.
Years later, I’m still cheering them on.

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my _36_, it was the same score.
Later that evening, I _37_ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _38_ much better than an IQ test. We _39_ that Michael’s score must have been a _40_ and we should treat him _41_ as usual.
We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got _42_ grades in the school, especially _43_ biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.
Michael _44_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than _45_. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.
On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I _46_ the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the _47_ IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say _48_, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the _49_ we had in him.
Interestingly, Michael then _50_ another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had _51_ the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be _52_.
Children often do as _53_ as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, _54_ of them. That is, tell a child he is“ _55_”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.
