As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she knocked into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.
“ 36 ”the boy shouted．Then, with a silly smile on his face, the boy 37 his right leg and walked the way Amy limped（跛行）when she walked.
Amy closed her eyes. “ 38 him!” She told herself as she headed for her classroom.
But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy’s 39 way. It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone laughed at her 40 . Kids made fun of her about her 41 or her limping. Amy was 42 it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing（嘲笑）made her feel 43 alone.
