Several days earlier,he had 8 the school running team.That day,a few older students made fun of his 9 on the track and made him the 10 of their one-sided food fight.I called the headmaster about the matter and it never happened again.He stayed on the team 11 trouble continued.

One day in October,we had snow and freezing rain.As the other kids exercised in the gym,they noticed Jason jogging around the snow-covered 12.A few weeks later,he told us each month students 13

an “athlete of the month”.The coach would list the top athletes,and students voted for the winner.Jason’s 14 had never been listed.But that day,one of the students said,“I’d like to nominate(提名) Jason for the athlete of the month,sir!”The coach looked 15.
