Reggie was a normal boy, but he had been born deaf. He was well known to everyone in the town, and they were all 1 him. Unfortunately, though, he 2 seemed to end up being treated differently from everyone else. Children worried they would 3 him. Adults acted like he was unable to 4 them, as if he was a baby.
His friend Micheal didn't like this. He decided that things had to be 5. Micheal's father was the town's mayor, and Micheal 6 to ask him to offer one day of the 7 to deaf people. During that whole day everyone would have to wear earplugs.
People liked the 8. The day became known 9 The Day of Silence, and when it arrived, everyone stuck plugs in their 10, in a spirit of great fun. That morning was filled with 11 and laughter. But as the hours passed, people became more and more aware of how 12 life was when you couldn't hear anything.
On that day nobody was thinking of Reggie as just a 13 person. This meant he could be 14 just like any other boy; people saw a whole new side of 15. Not only that, but Reggie had a bright and sharp mind. On that day, using his usual gestures（手势）, Reggie was the one who could exchange ideas best with everyone This 16 that people paid more attention to what he was saying, and they were 17 by his intelligence and his ability to find solutions to almost any problem. They 18 that he had always been like that, and that in normal life all Reggie needed was a little more time than others to 19. That was the only difference.
So on that day, Reggie's true nature became known and it was on the day that everyone realized you have to give people a chance to show how 20 they are.
