When we headed back the way we came， we walked straight into a group of kids we didn't know. They'd just come out of the woods， doing stuff I'm sure they didn't want their teachers to know about. I could smell cigarettes. They pointed a flashlight at us. There were six of them： four boys and two girls. They looked like seventh graders.

“What school are you from？” one of the boys called out.

“Beecher Prep！” Jack answered， when suddenly one of the girls started screaming.

“Oh my God！” she screamed， holding her hand over her eyes.

“No way！” one of the boys cried out， and then he covered his mouth. “No freakin' way！”

All of them started half laughing and half covering their eyes now， pushing each other and cursing loudly.

“What is that？” said the kid pointing the flashlight at us， and it was only then that I realized that the flashlight was pointed right at my face， and what they were talking about—screaming about—was me.

“Let's get out of here，” Jack said to me quietly.

“Wait wait wait！” yelled the guy with the flashlight， cutting us off.

“Oh man！ Oh man！” he said， shaking his head， his mouth wide open. “What happened to your face？”

“Stop it， Eddie，” said one girl.

Again we tried to walk away from them， and again the kid named Eddie cut us off. He was at least a head taller than Jack， who was about a head taller than me， so the guy looked huge to me.

“No man. It's an alien！” laughed Eddie.

“Leave him alone， okay？” said Jack.

“Make me，” answered Eddie.

Jack tried to push past Eddie， but Eddie pushed Jack's shoulders hard， which made Jack fall heavily backward.

“Look，” I said， stepping in front of Jack. “We're a lot smaller than you guys...”

“Oh man， it talks！” screamed Eddie， “Are you talking to me？ You don't want to mess with me， you ugly freak （怪物）.”

And this was the point where I knew I should run away as fast as I could， but Jack was still on the ground and I was not to leave him.

“Yo， dude，” said a new voice behind us. “What's up， man？”

Eddie spun around and pointed his flashlight toward the voice. For a second， I couldn't believe who it was.

“Leave them alone， dude，” said Henry， with Miles and Amos behind him.

“Says who？” said Eddie. “Are you a freak， too？”

Henry didn't answer him but looked at us. “Come on， guys， let's go. Mr Tushman's waiting for us.”

I knew that was a lie， but I helped Jack get up， and started walking over to Henry. Then out of the blue， Eddie grabbed? （抓?。?my hood （風帽） as I passed by him， which made me fall flat on my back and hurt my elbow （肘部） pretty bad on a rock. I could hardly see what happened afterward， except that Henry rammed （撞擊） into Eddie like a monster truck and they both fell down to the ground.

Everything got really crazy after that. Someone pulled me up by my sleeve and yelled， “Run！” and someone else screamed，“Get 'em！”， and for a few seconds I had two people pulling my sleeves in opposite directions until my sweatshirt ripped （裂開）， and the first guy started pulling me behind him by my arm as we ran. I could hear footsteps behind us， chasing （追趕） us， and voices shouting. We were running like crazy， and whenever I started to slow down， the guy pulling me would yell， “Don't stop！”

Finally， after what seemed like a forever of running， someone yelled，“I think we lost them！”

“Are you sure？” Miles asked， letting go of my arm. That's when I realized that he'd been the one who was pulling me.

“Shh！ Let's listen！”

We all got super quiet， listening for footsteps in the dark. All we could hear were the crickets and frogs and our own crazy panting （喘息）.

“Yeah， we lost them，” said Henry.

“Losers！” Amos shouted really loudly， and we all started laughing.

“Dudes，” said Jack， hand high in the air. “That was really cool of you guys to come for us. Thanks.”

“No problem，” answered Henry， highfiving Jack. And then Miles and Amos high？鄄fived him， too.

“Yeah， dudes， thanks，” I said， also holding my palm （手掌） up， though I wasn't sure if they'd high？鄄five me， too.

Henry looked at me and nodded. “It was cool how you stood your ground.” he said， high？鄄fiving me. And then Amos high？鄄fived me， too.

“Very cool，” said Miles， high？鄄fiving me， too. “Sorry I ripped your sweatshirt.”

I looked down， and my sweatshirt was completely torn down the middle.

“Hey， your elbow's bleeding，” said Jack.

“Yeah.” I shrugged （聳肩）. It started to hurt a lot.

“You okay？” said Jack， seeing my face.

I nodded. Suddenly I felt like crying， and I was trying really hard not to do that.

“Wait， your hearing aids are gone！” said Jack.

“What！” I yelled， touching my ears. The hearing aid band was definitely gone. “Oh no！” I said， and that's when I couldn't hold it in anymore， I started to cry. I was very embarrassed but I couldn't stop the tears from coming. The guys were nice to me， though. They patted （輕拍） me on the back.

“You're one brave little dude， you know that？” said Henry， putting both his arms around me and let me cry.

Ⅳ. 讀后感悟

通過對小說《奇跡男孩》節(jié)選的深入解讀，我們不禁被書中人物的閃光品質(zhì)打動，對校園欺凌與傳遞真善美有了進一步的體察，對生命中的奇跡這一含義有了不一樣的領悟，不妨閱讀原著全文或者觀看同名電影，把自己的所感所悟?qū)懗蓵u或影評。

一篇書評通常包括如下要點：

1.交代書名、作者、題材及故事發(fā)生的時間和地點;

2.簡單介紹情節(jié)但別過多劇透，描述主要人物及其性格發(fā)展;

3.探討故事的主旨或象征意義;

4.表達自己的觀點。____________________________________

Ⅴ.視野拓展

小說《奇跡男孩》是作者R. J. Palacio的處女作，2013年出版伊始就好評如潮，2017年改編的同名電影也票房口碑雙豐收，這與其中許多簡單卻發(fā)人深省的句子不無關系，現(xiàn)摘錄如下句子供同學們品味賞析。

1.You can't blend in when you were born to stand out.你天生與眾不同，注定不會淹沒于人群之中。（這句話出現(xiàn)在書的封面。）

2.Doctors have come from distant cities. Just to see me. Stand over my bed. Disbelieving what they're seeing. They say I must be one of the wonders?; of God's own creation. And as far as they can see they can offer. No explanation.醫(yī)生從遙遠的城市趕來看我。站在我的床邊。他們無法相信自己的眼睛。說我一定是上帝創(chuàng)造的奇跡。就眼前的一切，他們難以給出合理的解釋。（這是書名的出處，出現(xiàn)在書的序言部分，來自于Natalie Merchant的歌曲Wonder的歌詞。）

3.The universe is like a giant lottery. You purchase a ticket when you're born. And it's all just random whether you get a good ticket or a bad ticket. It's all just luck. On second thought， it's not all random， because if it really was all random， the universe would abandon us completely. And the universe doesn't. It takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see. Maybe it is a lottery， but the universe makes it all even out in the end. The universe takes care of all its birds.宇宙就像一個巨大的彩票抽獎。你在出生時購買一張彩票，而且你得到的彩票的好壞完全隨機，全靠運氣。轉(zhuǎn)念一想，這并非完全隨機，因為如果真的是完全隨機的話，宇宙就會完全拋棄我們。而宇宙并沒有這么做。它以我們看不見的方式照顧它最脆弱的造物。也許它是一種抽獎，但宇宙最終會使它回歸公平。宇宙會照顧它所有的鳥兒。

4.The best way to measure how much you've grown isn't by inches or the number of laps you can now run around the track， or even your grade point average. It's what you've done with your time， how you've chosen to spend your days， and whom you have touched this year.衡量你成長了多少的最佳方式不是你長高了幾英寸或你現(xiàn)在能繞跑道跑幾圈，甚至不是你的平均成績點數(shù)，而是你用你的時間做了什么，你選擇如何度過那些日子，或是今年你感動了哪些人。

5.It is at moments of other people's kindness that we can recognize the face of God in human form. Kindness is such a simple thing like a nice word of encouragement， an act of friendship or a passing smile.就是在他人表達善意的時刻，我們才能在人類中認出上帝的面目。善良是如此簡單的事，就像一句鼓勵的話，一個友好的舉動或者一個路過時的微笑。
