Not long ago, I was at a state conference (会议) with a group preparing for a week of meetings. I walked into the room where a handful of volunteers were ______ collating (装订整理) handouts. I asked if I could help. One of the ladies _____ said “Oh, no, thank you” and offered me a chair to just sit while they worked.
Then, another volunteer came into the room, saw me sitting there doing nothing and said: “Hey, Larry, come on over here. There’s work to do, and you can help.” He put a couple of chairs ______, placed two stacks of handouts on them and ______: “OK, the left sheet goes on top of the right one.”
“Fine. I can handle that,” I said. And just like that, I was now part of the team.
This member of the group saw that my ______ did not mean an inability to help. ______, I thanked him for having included me, and asked ______ motivated his action. He said: “Well, I figured ______ one more set of hands we’d finish more quickly. I was just using ______.”
I’m sure that the kind folks who initially (最初) ______ my offer of help did not mean to offend (冒犯) me. It just seemed more appropriate to them to say “No, thank you” than to stop their work and try and ______ how to include me. And that’s the real issue here. Too often, people with disabilities are _______ – within their _____ or within a social setting – because of their disability and not because of their inability.
It’s important for all of us to feel part of the group and to feel that we ______. It’s important to our self-esteem (自尊). And it is even more important for people with disabilities. ______ means we are accepted, appreciated and _____ as a full and ______ member of the group. It sends a ______ that states: “To us, your abilities are more important than your disability.”

The poachers-illegal hunters-had finally found a buyer for their stolen goods. A meeting was
36 ，and when the buyer asked to see the goods，they brought out a small duffel bag and un-zipped it. Inside was a 37 one-year-old baby gorilla. The poachers had likely killed the little female`s parents and 38 her in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo，in Africa. Then they took her across the border into Rwanda， 39 to sell her as a pet.
But the buyer didn`t bring 40 ；he brought the police. The Rwandan authorities 41
the young gorilla to the nearby headquarters of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project. The vets (兽医) there realized that she had not been given 42 food or water，but they were much more worried about something else. "Baby gorillas simply don`t 43 without their mother`s constant body contact，" says vet Chris Whittier. If they didn`t quickly establish a 44 relationship with the baby gorilla，which her caretakers named Dunia，she 45 not survive.
Dunia needed contact，but she resisted 46 at first，shying away from people who reached for her. Three caretakers worked in shifts，taking 47 holding her，carrying her around on their backs，and cradling her while she slept. 48 she became stronger，a month after she was res-cued her 49 revealed the psychological stress she carried inside-much of her hair fell out. That was a delayed 50 to the combined traumatic experiences of losing her parents and being kept-with a poor diet-by the poachers.
After six months of loving care that included around-the-clock attention，a good diet，and a
51 home at the project`s headquarters，Dunia was looking and acting like a 52 ，happy young gorilla should. "Dunia is sort of a shy show-off，" says Whittier. "Her 53 is growing and she`s becoming more independent，but when she is 54 ，the first thing she does is run back to her 55 ，just like she would to her mother."

There I sat, 36 enough to be a father to most of the students in the room, 37 unconfident enough to be their baby brother.

As I listened, I couldn't help but 40 of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in 41 , just like me. I remembered how hard I had tried to help build self-confidence in her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared 42 myself'? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious 43 about my ability to make it 44 college. Not until late that night did my thinking 45 . It was a long-distance 46 from my daughter, my fellow college freshman, that did the trick. She spoke on the phone about the doubts, worries and anxieties she was 47 . She was certain that she'd never 48 at college. How 49 her worries sounded!
In my most confident parental 50 , I said, “Doing your best is all the world 51 .” The next day in class, those words still repeated in my head. When the professor raised a 52 for the class, nobody, including me, 53 to answer. When I looked around at the 54 and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew 55 what I had to do: my best. That's all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called my name. I spoke.

“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No 44 .”
“I bet they’re playing games and make friends. Don’t you think so?”

My heart 47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 48 me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “49 I know why your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be 50 . I begged in my heart for her to 51 , but you just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered 52 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is bunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was 53 . I looked into your eyes and her 54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind – hearted friend.
