The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how 1 you have all worked to prepare for this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to anyone who would 2 not to take the test. ”
Many students jumped up to 3 the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the 4 students and said, “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last 5 . ” Two more students decided to go. Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the 6 . There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just 7 an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test 8 any teacher could and should give. Students who are not 9 in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量). The same is 10 in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have 11 both successes and failures.
They have learned life’s lessons, either from normal education 12 from events in their lives, and have become 13 people.

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely(模糊地) 1 the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see things again, 2 a disaster can do strange things to people. It happened to me the other day that I might not have come to love 3 as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not sure that I would believe in it so 4 . I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I 5 mean that the loss of 6 made me enjoy more of 7 I have now.
Life asks us to keep making 8 to reality. If a person is able to get ready for anything changeable his world will 9 more meaningful. I became blind, but I was 10 . My parents and my teachers saw 11 in me－a potential(潜力) to live, you might call it－which I didn’t see, and they make me fight it out with blindness.
The hardest 12 I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was what I had to do at least. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would become a chair rocker for the 13 of my life. When I say I believe in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase 14 . That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: A belief that I could deal with anything alone; that somewhere in the 15 there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

A new term has begun. Teachers are __36__ about the fact that new students are not easy to handle. They like to bring cellphones and MP3 players to school. What is __37__, some students even use cellphones to do with out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some other students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that __38__? ‘Yes,’ says Delaney Kirk, a professor at Drake University. __39__ she adds it’s not their fault. Instead, the things that they bring into school --- cellphones, MP3 players and so on --- and the teachers are to blame. Kirk first began thinking about students’ manners six years ago. ‘I had my first class in which students were sleeping or talking to each other. It seemed that learning well __40__ nothing to do with them,’ she says. ‘At first, I got worried about this, but then I said to myself, “You’re teaching __41__, and you need to manage this … These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good __42__. They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they might regret the time they have wasted.”’
Kirk also __43__ a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
Tell students how they will benefit by taking the class. On the first day of class, emphasize its importance __44__ giving some homework that students must turn in next time.
Do not allow them to bring cellphones and MP3 players to the class at all.
Decide __45__ formal and informal the class will be.
