Ⅰ.完形填空
Most of us remember our teachers.One or two might slip the 1 ,but even the most unimportant ones have some 2 on us.Then there are those who remain guides for life.For me there was Dr Wylie—his unusual ways threw new 3 on maths.And my English teacher,Dr Parry, 4 my science and maths-focused brain to the joys of literature.I didn’t realize it at the time,but those two 5 shaped my future.
As a journalist I 6 major events,but I cared only shallowly.Now as a teacher,I communicate with just a group of teenagers,but I care 7 :those struggling to make friends,those 8 in with the wrong crowd or those doing brilliantly.I have made them 9 poems by heart and we are going to be listening to classical music. 10 ,I am trying to build up their cultural capital,to broaden their eyes and to 11 them to worlds beyond their own.
I’ve found that most people don’t think of teaching as being quite as 12 as writing for newspapers.Tell people you are a journalist,and at least some will 13 it interesting. 14 you tell someone you are a teacher,you can see memories of their school days 15 back,and fear flash in their eyes.So teaching isn’t for the faint-hearted(胆怯的).It can be 16 work—but is there anything worthwhile in life that isn’t?Some classes can be 17 at times.But don’t believe how terrible and self-centred teenagers are.They are 18 and full of potential.It is my job—and my 19 pleasure—to help them achieve it and to give them the solid 20 that will let them blossom.
