[2025 南通市如皋市期中]Reading is very important in our daily life. I always 1. r
remember
a famous saying, “Books are the ladder(阶梯) of human progress.”
Take my favourite book Wonder as an example. It tells the story of August, a 10-year-old boy. He was born with facial deformities(面部畸形). August's first year at school is terrible. Most people are afraid of him and stay 2. a
away
from him.
But he 3. n
never
gives up on himself or loses hope. No matter what happens, he keeps trying. 4. D
During
the hard time, a girl named Summer reaches out to him and wants to be his friend. That is the 5. f
first
time he has felt kindness from friends.
Then a surprising 6. e
event
at a school camp changes everything. People realize how brave he is and how hard it is for him to get along with others, leading them to understand him better.
Kindness is the main theme in Wonder. It helps me understand that even a 7. s
small
, simple act(行为) of kindness can make a big difference. If we understand what other people are thinking, 8. m
maybe
we will know that everyone is a special star, always ready to shine.
Books like this make me believe that reading can truly 9. c
change
what people think about life. So I hope you can find a book that brightens your day, and try to make reading a 10. p
part
of your life. Good books are good friends.
