Kindness at fast-food restaurant
It was summer and I had gotten one of the few jobs a 14-year-old can find—working at Burger King，a fast－food restaurant．It 16 wasn’t a good job，but it meant money， 17 was something I needed.
One day，I was working behind the front counter，taking 18 .The customers were coming and going，and the woman who 19 didn’t seem any different from most others.
She ordered her meal and I told her the total.As she searched 20 her purse to find some change，the woman soon 21 that she was about a dollar short.“I’m 22 to say this,but I guess I won’t be able to make my purchase 23 ，”she said sadly
That’s when I had the idea of paying the difference for her. She refused at first，but after I 24 ,she agreed.She thanked me and moved to the end of the counter to 25 her order.I continued with my work and thought 26 more of it
About an hour later 27 had slowed down and I was waiting for my next customer.Then I glanced over towards the 28 and saw the same woman whom I’d helped with the money entering again．I 29 recognized her.
She walked straight up to me and said，“I want to thank you again for what you did.You see，I’m a diabetic(糖尿病患者),and 30 I need to eat something right away．That’s 31 I came in earlier．If you hadn’t helped me as you did，I 32 have fainted.Thank you．”
She handed me two dollars, 33 I’d given her.
34 the woman walk away,I realized that God had used me to help me.In the end,I was 35 not only with money but also with the satisfaction of knowing that I’d helped someone out of a tight spot.

I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in 26 for 17 years, I had no 27 about my ability to hold their attention and to 28 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 29 !”
The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 30 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 31 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect --- perhaps 32 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.
My students 33 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 34 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 35 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 36 theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 37 for all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How 38 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it 39 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 40 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 41 questions and provide enough background so that students could 42 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 43 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
44 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 45 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

Nothing can better illustrate the failure of education in this country than the contrast between millions of college graduates finding it hard to get a proper job every year and the lack of workers in the more industrialized regions.
According to news from Dongguan (东莞), one of the __50__ manufacturing centers in the Pearl River Delta (珠江三角洲) region in South China, “over 90 percent” factories have said they are finding __51__ difficult to employ people from the second half of 2009, when the __52__ began picking up and overseas orders restarted pouring in. Running to full capacity seems a dream that the factories had__53__.
An awkward reality is that only few, __54__, of the new college graduates could really fill the vacancies because the trainings they have received are entirely __55__ from the demands of the jobs. Nor will Chinese cities have enough workforce if they pursue a development model other than export-based manufacturing.
The __56__ for that is simple: The knowledge about management graduates gather is totally out of step with reality, __57__ of them can hardly express themselves in English or compose an email message properly, and __58__ handle even paper work in a law service with the legal knowledge they have.
I __59__ some college teachers, whom I went to college with, that the amount of time an average college student spends on studies today is less than half of what we __60__ in the late 1970s when proper college education was recovered after the “cultural revolution” (1966-76).
“They (the administrations) have enrolled so many students just to __61__ from their parents (tuition and other charges)”, one of the teachers said embarrassedly. “It's a nationwide phenomenon, you know.”
It is hard to believe that a country should not __62__ education so seriously when there are no longer as many young people as before and view its opportunities only in terms of immediate financial gains, which greatly affects the quality of education. __63__, vocational education faces a double threat: frequent ups and downs in the business cycle and that of a flooding of cheap college certificates.
It is __64__ in a country with rapid development in many fields to see little reform and progress in its education system. When colleges are reduced to money-making machines, they cannot help a society create enough workers, thinkers and leaders.

At high school, Ware was always making __52__. He didn’t answer questions, got into lots of fights and was __53__ from school at times. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year.
I met Ware for the first time at a meeting. All the students at school had been invited to __54__ for a program designed to have students become more active in their communities. The program __55__ group discussion and voluntary work in their neighborhoods.
In the beginning, Ware just stood by, not ready to join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games __56__ him in… At the end of the meeting, he joined the Homeless Project team.
