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（大脑性麻痹）.

Mark was one with the latter. Sitting in 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 free from 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(an) 51 was reached 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 so extraordinary.

Years later I’m still cheering them on.
