There is a young boy called Bill in my class who has a hard time saying certain words. Sometimes, kids make fun of him. Sometimes, he'll say the same word twice or he'll stutter(结巴). He's very shy and doesn't say much.

One day, there was a sign on the wall asking people to try out for the school play. We looked and saw Bill's name on the list. We wondered how he could possibly be in a play with his speech problem.

The rehearsals(排练)went on for weeks, and finally the time for performance arrived. Bill got on stage and spoke his first lines. He stuttered terribly. Then, the most amazing thing happened. When the music started, he began to sing. It came out perfectly. He had a beautiful voice and not a single stutter. Bill was a different person when he sang.

The next day at school, everyone congratulated Bill. He explained to us that it's common for people who stutter to be able to sing perfectly well. Science doesn't know why, but it's a fact.

We learned more than just a scientific fact that day. We learned that everyone has things they can't do, and things they can do. We all have to be understanding of that. As for Bill, he still stutters. But sometimes when he has a hard time giving an answer in class, he just stops and sings the answer. That's always the highlight of the class.

1.Whose story is this article about?

A.The writer's. B.Tom's. C.Bill's. D.Head teacher's.

2.Why do the students think Bill can't attend the play?
