Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 26 when I was teaching second 27 10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something special for the children：a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to 28 ideas of how to 29 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised but 30 to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 31 invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child 32 up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 33 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking 34
I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was 35 if you could keep my mother 36 while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 37 my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 38 the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 39 .
Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s 40 and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 41 was completed. When I came 42 Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 43 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t 44 it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 45 stopped hugging teachers years ago.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents．Every day they are very busy trying to 36 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me．They don’t act in the 37 ways that I read in books or I see on TV．In their opinion, “I love you” is too 38 for them to say．Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 39 ．One day, my mother was sewing a quilt．I sat down beside her．“Mom, I have a question to ask you．Is there 40 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice．She didn’t answer immediately．She 41 her head and continued to sew the quilt．
I was very worried because I thought I had 42 her．I was 43 and I didn’t know what I should do．But at last I heard my mother say the following words: “Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 44 , but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt 45 ．If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen 46 , but it’s really there．Love is 47 ．” I listened carefully but I 48 her until the next spring．At that time, my father suddenly 49 seriously．My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month．When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 50 ．It seemed both of them had had a serious illness．After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 51 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day．
“Susan, don’t 52 me．” he said gently．“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom．” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply．
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 54 ．But from this experience, I understand that love is just 55 in the quilt of our life．Love is inside, making life strong and warm．

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 37 . When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon. I was 40 that point.
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a 53 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 54 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
36. A. at B. in C. on D. for
37. A. self-service B. self-centered C. self-reliant D. self-confidence
38. A. as good as B. as well as C. as far as D. as long as
39. A. indeed B. maybe C. perhaps D. even
40. A. waiting B. standing C. lying D. nearing
41. A. Let B. Take C. Have D. Get
42. A. valued B. avoided C. feared D. enjoyed
43. A. made B. applied C. included D. developed
44. A. condition B. state C. occasion D. situation
45. A. retell B. review C. revise D. remind
46. A. if B. why C. how D. when
47. A. evening B. day C. morning D. afternoon
48. A. flat B. bed C. house D. apartment
49. A. means B. approach C. method D. way
50. A. peace B. trouble C. sorrow D. excitement
51. A. driving B. reviewing C. sleeping D. lying

Here are some of the most common reasons why kids hate school—and strategies（对策） to put them back on the road to success.
One fear that keeps children from enjoying school is separation 36 . It most frequently occurs during times of family stress or 37 a child is about to enter a new school. 38 , parents can feed a child’s anxieties by the way they 39 . With younger kids, watch how you say 40 those first few days of school. A firm “Have a great day, and I’ll 41 you up at 2:30!” is more confidence-inspiring than “Don’t worry, I can be there in ten 42 if you need me.”
You can help your child 43 fearful situations—from speaking up in class to taking tests—by rehearsing（预演）at home. Teach your child to 44 thoughts such as “I’m going to give up” with “I can handle this.”
Without any 45 , some kids dislike school .This may be the 46 if your child is always alone, pretends 47 to avoid class outings or give away treasured possessions in an attempt to be 48 .
Often loneliness problems can be solved. A child may need to learn how to 49 others in the eye when he speaks, or how to talk 50 a whisper—or below
a yell. You might teach a young child a few “friendship 51 ”, such as “My name’s Tom. What’s yours? Do you want to play games?”
“A lot of kids who are very lonely have never been told anything 52 about themselves,” says Miami 53 Matty Rodriguez-Walling. “If a lonely kid is 54 some area—computers, for example—I’ll often have other students work with him. That does 55 for self-respect and helps the lonely child make friends.”
36. A. anxiety B. excitement C. anger D. relief
37. A. while B. sin
ce C. when D. as
38. A. Unfortunately B. Happily C. Luckily D. Simply
39. A. teach B. smile C. learn D. respond

42. A. hours B. days C. minutes D. seconds

44. A. connect B. fill C. supply D. replace
45. A. friends B. classmates C. teachers D. parents
46. A. condition B. case C. example D. matter
47. A. violence B. sadness C. illness D. independence
48. A. taught B. refused C. hated D.
