晚练册 第8周-【晨读晚记】2023-2024学年高一上学期英语阅读强化训练

Week Eight 第8周 晚练 的阅读理解A Last weekend,my daughter Julie asked me to take pictures for her at her school's homecoming )As we were waiting in line,Noah stepped into the line behind us.He was quiet and was by him- self.He looked fashionable with shiny suit and an incredible top hat.When we were taking photos on the dance floor,my daughter and her friends realized that Noah was alone and asked him to join them,and he did.Afterwards,my daughter asked him to take pictures with some of their group,and he joined right in, striking a great pose.The moment was brief and straightforward,but also meaningful. Then I was just drinking at the table when Noah approached me."I have autism ()I used to stay alone.But I want to tell you something.Your daughter and her friend group included me tonight and I was so grateful for it.They took a picture with me tonight,and it was the only picture I took with a group of people.It meant a lot to me." Listening to Noah,I realized how hard it was for him to not only come to the dance by himself,but also put himself out there and join this special night.He had a lion's heart of courage. I share the story not because I want to praise what my daughter and her friends did.I think my daugh- ter and her friends simply did what we all should do:They included somebody who was alone.They were concerned about the people around them.They reached out to and thought of someone besides themselves. We say the word "inclusivity"()all the time.But we often forget the value of it.It's a universal feeling,and all of us deserve to feel wanted and included.Everyone deserves to feel seen and to have our presence acknowledged.
