Last year I met a blind girl 45(name)Gail.She was46(extreme)slender and weak,but she always insisted on 47(find)her way around theschool by herself.When she 48(sit)in a room with several of us,there wassometimes a(n)49(easy)silence,because we thought she might resent ouracting too cheerful and thoughtless in her 50(present).On such occasions,she would say something casual or show us how fast she could write.She neverasked for anyone's pity.She truly relied on herself.
