  My stutter(口吃)had always been much of a problem.I'd had so many specialists for my   1   over the years.As l walked down the hallway to meet a new one, memories popped in my head of how painful(痛苦的)being a kid who stutters had been.It   2   hurt.

  “Hello! I'm Mrs.Claussen.I hear you're from Texas! "

  “Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am…”My heart felt like it was pounding through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.I really blew that

  “Well, " she said with a   4   Smile.161've always liked Texas."

  She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like those who

  told me to clap my hands while speaking.She was   5  .She spent the first several weeks just talking to me-asking me all kinds of questions about myself, especially my feelings.And she   6  .She then began to teach me about the speech.Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

  I   7   in my old school and was a pretty good tenor(男高音), but I learned that the new school's singing group was all filled up.It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well-and I could do it

    8   stuttering.Somehow Mrs.Claussen finally got me in the group.I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a speech student.

  During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better-except with her.When I was in college, things got worse.I once even wondered if I would ever be able to   9   ! It was a very depressing time, and I often felt alone.When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs.Claussen had told me whether I could   10   my speech was all up to me.She had told me not to fight for perfect speech, just better speech.She was right about that.I finally improved my speech greatly.

  Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering if she had as much   11   0n her other students as she had on me.I like to think that she did.Her name was Mrs.Claussen...and she   12  .I'II never forget her.

People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to    15   the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议) against heavy trucks which run    16   through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it    17   to sleep at night, but they are doing damage(损害) to our houses and shops of historical   18  ,”
said John Norris, one of the protesters.
 19  we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a  20    village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.
  Harry Fields also studying    21    said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音的), so they probably don’t    22   . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
  I asked if they were    23    that the police might come to stop them.
  “Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no    24    against practising.”
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

School education is very important and useful. The students both learn knowledge and get educated. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. Scientists, such as Edison, Newton, Galileo and Einstein, didn't learn everything from school. They learnt a lot of knowledge outside school or practiced a lot themselves. A teacher, though he knows a lot, can't teach his students everything.

  The teacher's job is to teach his students how to learn, how to read and how to think. A good teacher with rich experience in teaching can teach his students the methods (="ways)" of study. Through these methods students are able to learn and get a lot of things by themselves.

Usually it's very easy for students to memorize some knowledge, but it is difficult to use it to solve problems. If a teacher really teaches students the ability(能力) of how to use knowledge, it means the teacher has learned lots of knowledge by himself(or herself). The success in learning shows he or she knows how how how to study.
