After finishing college, Taylor became a teacher in a middle school. His favorite subject was       , because his hobby was traveling.
Taylor liked children, and was always ready to have a(n)     with them, so they learned a lot from him      at the same time having fun.
One September, at the beginning of the term, he was having his first       in a new class. To      , he decided to ask them some simple questions       he could see how much they had already known. He found some of the students had         that he enjoyed telling jokes, and they were ready to have some fun with him.
"Where is Turkey?" was the first question.
"Turkey? Sir," a boy answered, "you'll find it on the     dinner table every December."
"Very    , and it isn't a wrong answer," said Taylor with a smile, while the class    laughter.
"Do you really know where it is?"
The boy        , in fact, know. "Part of it is in Southeast Europe and part of it is in Asia, sir," he said.
"Good!" said Taylor. The next few students also had funny answers       Taylor's questions.
Taylor knew that there was a girl in the class who was      and always got the highest mark in the exams, so he turned to her and asked her, "What is the      ?"
"It's an imaginary line drawn       the earth that has an equal distance from the North Pole and from the South Pole, sir," the girl answered at once.
"Good!" Taylor said, "Very good." But he thought perhaps she had       it by heart, so he asked her another question to       whether he was right or not.
"Do you really know what that      ?" he asked. "Could you, for example, tie a knot (结) in the equator?"
The class laughed, but she answered, "Yes, sir."
"Oh, really?" said Taylor, still with a smile.
"Yes, sir," the girl said, "as the equator is not a(n)    line, you could tie an imaginary knot in it."
This time, Taylor     happily in the students' loud laughter.
