But the movie Wonder (奇迹男孩) shows us that there is no such things as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.Based on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (面部畸形). He has spent most of his life being home-schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with some unfriendly classmates and learn to accept himself as he is.In the United States, most kids are taught that it is OK to be different. People dont look down upon being special. But some kids have difficulty accepting this. It is easy to play tricks on someone who is different, especially if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another central theme from the movie - even the kids who laugh at Auggie have their own personal struggles.As Auggies classmates get know him better, they come to find that hes a nice kid with a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude to him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people a chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.26 .

It seems that each horse looks like any other far away. But if you get a closer look, you will see the bigger horse is blind.But if you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. It is coming from the neck of the smaller horse in the field. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow him.As you stand and watch these two friends, youll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to where the other horse is, so that he will not be left（落下）.When the horse with the bell returns to the barn(畜棚) each evening, he will stop from time to time to look back, making sure that the blind friend isnt too far behind to hear the bell.Sometimes we are the blind horse, and at other times we are the horse, helping others to find their way.29 . “Blind” means someone _.Acant see anythingBcant hear anythingCcant walkDcant eat anything30 .
