All the World Asks
On my first day in a college classroom, I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization after having been lost in the forest for thirty years. There I sat, 36 enough to be a father to most of the students in the room, 37 unconfident enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow, listening to a 38 who looked even younger than the students. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully 39 what she expected us to learn.
As I listened, I couldn't help but 40 of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in 41 , just like me. I remembered how hard I had tried to help build self-confidence in her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared 42 myself'? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious 43 about my ability to make it 44 college. Not until late that night did my thinking 45 . It was a long-distance 46 from my daughter, my fellow college freshman, that did the trick. She spoke on the phone about the doubts, worries and anxieties she was 47 . She was certain that she'd never 48 at college. How 49 her worries sounded!
In my most confident parental 50 , I said, “Doing your best is all the world 51 .” The next day in class, those words still repeated in my head. When the professor raised a 52 for the class, nobody, including me, 53 to answer. When I looked around at the 54 and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew 55 what I had to do: my best. That's all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called my name. I spoke.

Okay, you are in the classroom, you’ve got the proper attitude, your instructor seems eager and energetic and you’re ready to learn. Your instructor starts 21 . You listen to the first few words and then begin to take notes. Copious notes. At the end of 45 minutes you have literally rewritten the 22 . Your hand is sweaty from the constant writing and you’ve filled up seven pages of your notebook. But one thing is 23 . You forgot to listen to the lecture.
This is a 24 problem in all classes. You are so afraid that you might miss something “important” that your tendency is to write 25 down. We all do because we have all committed this 26 at one time or another. I realize it’s easy for me to say this, but it is much better to listen to the lecture carefully and 27 only those things that were genuinely important.
It goes without saying that your notes should be written readably. I wouldn’t suggest rewriting your 28 after every class but sometimes this will help you understand and recollect the material better. Organize your notes into brief 29 . Use arrows, stars, asterisks and other notational devices to highlight things that seem really important. As a rule, if there is anything you don’t understand, bring it up during the next class period. If not, you will be doing yourself, and everyone 30 in the class, a great injustice.
21. A. speaking B. saying C. talking D. discussing
22. A. speech B. lecture C. lesson D. class
23. A. missing B. going C. losing D. leaving
24. A. average B. ordinary C. common D. usual
25. A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything
26. A. behavior B. action C. fault D. error
27. A. record B. notice C. memorize D. keep
28. A. comments B. notes C. diaries D. works
29. A. styles B. sections C. species D. designs

gful way 42 drama encourages speech development, awareness of body language and allows children to become more 43 aware.
