His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意的发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it. Then one day, Derek's mum came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts—he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning. After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson. Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her. 37.

Strange奇怪的，从第二段的前半部分对这个男孩的描述，例如He sometimes had random outbursts(随意的发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that.我们知道这个男孩儿的很多行为和我们是不同的，所以我们感觉他很奇怪，故选D。 【38题详解】 排列顺序题。根据文中第二段第一句话“When a new student arrived in my third grade class”可知先是男孩儿来到我们班级，然后根据第四行“When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him.”可知然后我们远离他，根据第6行“Then one day, Derek's mum came to our class and talked with us.”接着他的妈妈来到了我们班，并和我们进行了谈话，根据第三段的第一句话“After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him.”可知后来和这个男孩友好相处，故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第三段“After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him.

(D) The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade. I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through(经历)． When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意的发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it. Then one day, Derek's mum came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts—he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning. After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson. Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her. 37.
