One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that the seventh grade field trip would be to a theme park. The classroom was filled with excitement as the girls discussed what they would wear and what they should bring with them. I sat back and listened, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. It made me___1___ to feel so left out. But not Danny. He simply told everyone that he wouldn’t be going. When Mr. Sims asked him ___2___ , Danny stood up and said, “It’s too much money for me. My dad hurt his back and has been out of ___3___ for a while. I’m not asking my parents for money.”
有一天,我们的老师西姆斯先生宣布七年级的郊游活动是去一个主题公园。女孩们兴奋地讨论着要穿什么和要带什么,而我坐在后面听着,心里清楚父母没钱送我去,这让我很生气,感觉自己被排除在外。但丹尼不同,他只是告诉大家他不会去。当西姆斯先生问他为什么不去时,丹尼站起来说:“对我来说太贵了。我爸爸伤了背,已经有一段时间没工作了。我不会向父母要钱。”丹尼重新坐下,自豪地抬起头,尽管已经开始有人窃窃私语。我只能安静地坐在座位上,心里明白,当他们发现我也不会去的时候,那些窃窃私语可能就是在说我。
Sitting back down in his seat, Danny held his head up ___4___, even though whispering had already begun. I could only sit quietly in my seat, knowing those ___5___ could be about me when they found out I would not be going either.
丹尼重新坐下,尽管已经开始有人窃窃私语,他自豪地抬起头,。我只能安静地坐在座位上,心里明白,当他们发现我也不会去的时候,那些窃窃私语可能就是在说我。
“Dan, I’m very proud of you for ___6___the situation that your parents are in,” Mr. Sims replied.
“丹尼,我很佩服你能理解你父母现在的处境。”西姆斯先生回答道。
Seeing the students whispering in the back, Mr. Sims spoke again, only ___7___.
看到学生们在后面窃窃私语,西姆斯先生又大声地说了一遍。
“This year, we’re going to do things differently. The trip is not until the end of the month, so there’s plenty of time for money ___8___. Each student must bring in at least one idea for that. If a student doesn’t want to help, then he or she will be staying here that day. Any ___9___?”
“今年,我们要采取不同的做法。郊游要到月底才进行,所以我们有足够的时间筹款。每个学生都必须至少提出一个筹款方案。如果一个学生不想帮忙,那他那天就留在这里。有什么问题吗?”
Of course, Shelly, the most popular girl in the class, spoke up.
当然,班里最受欢迎的女孩雪莉举手发言。
“Well, Mr. Sims, my parents can ___10___ it. Do I still have to help?”
“嗯,西姆斯先生,我父母负担得起。但我还需要帮忙吗?”
