When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher if I grew up，simply because I wanted to write on the chalkboard！My teachers seemed to be the 36 printers，curving their letters just so，and I wanted to do it 37 ！Now，after "higher education"，and three 38 career paths，I have come back to want to be a 39 ，but my reasons have changed. I was 40 in my years of high school，to have teachers that really 41 me as an individual, and I want to 42 this back.
A teacher's gentleness needs to be shown when 43 or encouraging the students. It is important to make the corrections in order for the students to learn. 44 ，this needs to be done in a 45 that will help to 46 the student to make the changes necessary,___47___ discouraging them from learning.Being patient is also extremely important，because the class needs to know what to 48 from the teacher.This will also help to build a better agreement with the students，and help both the teacher and students to learn more about each other.
If a teacher exhibits a true love of 49 and helping students learn，many of the qualities ___50___ above will just fall into place. The teacher that had the most 51 on me had the best fame in the school. She was strict，and she did demand a lot, but she was able to show us it was ___52___she cared for us. She knew each of us was worth it，and she knew we each could do it. She __53___ knowledge，gently, firmly, patiently，respectfully, and most effectively. She gently encouraged us to make 54 when we needed to，and 55 us when we did. She was a true teacher, not just someone who taught，and this is the kind of teacher I hope to be.

My Fellow Americans,
I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).
Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would 36 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a 37 way.
In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer 38 I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to 39 public awareness(意识). We were happy that 40 many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to 41 to normal, healthy lives.
So now, we feel it is 42 to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater 43 of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are 44 by it.
At the moment I feel just fine. I’d 45 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have 46 done. I will continue to share 47 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch 48 my friends and supporters.
Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease 49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 50 experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 51 it with faith and courage.
At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 52 me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home, 53 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.
I now begin this 54 that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright 55 ahead.
Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan

The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her university degree during the day. When she finally 16 , she had her eye on a teaching 17 at a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had 18 with the Head.
“I noticed a tiny 19 in one of my stockings earlier.” she recalled. “I thought about 20 them, but I knew I’d be 21 if I did. And by the time I got to the interview，it was bigger. I walked in apologizing for not looking my best.” The would-be teacher didn’t 22 the job. In fact her friends told her that the Head’s only comment was, “If someone doesn’t take the time to 23 her best image at an interview, what kind of 24 is she going to be?”
In job-hunting, personal 25 is very important. After all, you’re selling a product— 26 —to an employer. When going to a job interview, always brush your hair tidily, polish your shoes and above all, 27 yourself properly. It will give you a competitive 28 and a positive first 29 . The above idea was also suggested in a best-seller for jobseekers named Dress for Success.
First impressions are 30 ones. In other words, if you’re viewed positively within the critical first four 31 , the person you’ve met will 32 feel everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will guess you have a lot of other 33 characters. In a word, he may not take the time to give you a second 34 . Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about 35 will care about their jobs.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness?
Have you read the book The Wolf Totem（狼图腾） by a famous writer Jiang Rong which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 36 the wolves’ world? If you had, you would 37 the wolves.
In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 38 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 39 full use of the shape of land to 40 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 41 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 42 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 43 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 44 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 45 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 46 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self-respect and won’t 47 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book The Wolf Totem， 48 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 50 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 51 and he never gave in, fighting 52 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 53 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 54 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 55 in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!_

I was eight years old then. Looking __36__ I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just __37__ . We shook their hands and said, "Good game!"
It is __38__ to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency(倾向) to slap (拍) the hand — instead of shaking it — and __39__ the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults, too.
A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was __40__ . But during the " Good game" handshake after each __41__, I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands. I couldn't look my opponents (对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good __42__ when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a __43__ on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; __44_- I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents' hands, not giving them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. I'm happy today as a(n) __45__ that I have learned this __46__ : There is something to be said for losing well.
__47__ it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can __48__ a lot about a person by now they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an __49__ blow is not allowing the event to define (定义) him, while someone who cannot __50__ defeat is allowing the event to __51__ his self-worth. In my opinion, when you __52__ in something— though it may be __53__ — look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a __54__ way as you say, "Good game!" __55__ to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.
