I hated going to school and I hated people   39   at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   40   and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me distant because I didn’t let others get   41   to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   42   Angela appeared.

her to   48   , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered weakly.
She bent and   49   my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
