As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.“I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking down the hallway, her head down, holding her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then wed burst into laughter. How rude is that? Its just crazy，” said Bruce, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting. The women said none of the teachers cared about it. “We just kept it to ourselves，” Lorraine said.Over the years, Tammy Smit said，“Bruce would just start to cry at times. Hed wonder what happened to the sisters, if they led a good life.” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the Internet and found Mary OKelly, Lorraines daughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of revisiting the pain was not wellreceived by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.Bruce broke into tears.“Im so ashamed, so embarrassed，” he said. “But Im so happy that youre still here and that I can finally apologize.” He said he hoped his apology would encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they had made on others. Lorraine said, “This is a beautiful thing. Its just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. Its like a miracle to us. Its healing to us.”4What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?AKathleen made her classmates afraid of her at school.BKathleen was once hurt by her classmates at school.CBruce Smit asked his wife to organize the meeting.DBruce Smit spoke ill of Kathleen.5What does the underlined word “it” in the 4th paragraph probably refer to?AThe guys meeting.BKathleens slow pace.CThe guys apology.DKathleens suffering.6How did Kathleen first feel about the meeting?AAngry.
