A group of dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problems with 26 . He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from a teacher? You know what people say about teachers: those who can, do---those who can't, 27 ."
To stress his point he turned to another guest, "You're a teacher, Bonnie. What do you 28 ?"
Bonnie, who had a reputation for 29 and frankness, replied, "You want to know what I make?” She 30 for a second and then began.
"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of 31 time while their parents can't make them 32 for 5 minutes without an iPod. You want to know what I make?"
She paused again and looked at each and every person sitting at the table 33 .
"I make kids wonder and question. I make them 34 for what they do 35 . I make them have 36 for the old and take responsibility for their actions. I teach them to write. I make them read. I make them learn everything they 37 to know in English while they’re preserving their own unique 38 identity. I make my classroom a place where all of my students feel 39 without fearing any danger.
Finally I make them understand that if they use the 40 they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can 41 in life."
Bonnie paused one last time and then continued. "Then when people try to 42 me by what I make, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are 43 . You want to know what I make? I make a 44 !What do you make? "

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.

27. A. worry B. idea C. doubt D. experience

34. A. replaced B. taken C. caught D. moved
35. A. Naturally B. Perhaps C. Fortunately D. Reasonably
36. A. different B. strong C. similar D. usual
37. A. happenings B. characters C. development D. background

It was 4 o’clock in the morning on June 9, 2003 when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 21 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n) 22 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 23 .
The doctor described the 24 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 25 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much petrol. The flames 26 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
27 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and 28 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 29 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he 30 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 31 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 32 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 33 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 34 this wisdom on to my son. He kept my advice in 35 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars didn’t 36 , so he made the 37 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe 38 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 39 standards. Put your imperfections(缺点;瑕疵) out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 40 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
