As the teacher called my name, I knew what lay ahead. She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division(除法)problem. Division was my_________ subject. I repeatedly put the numbers in the_________places, or forgot to add in the zeros.

I worriedly_________myself out of my seat. With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous. My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with_________.

The teacher read the problem aloud. Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to _________ what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols.

My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had tried. Impossible to understand. Why me?Why couldn’t I _________the problem that seemed easy to all other kids?These_________filled my head.

As the other girl finished and danced back to her seat, I wrote some random (胡乱的) _________ on the board, and rushed back to mine. The teacher read over our work.

“Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely_________.”

“As for Tara,” the teacher said jokingly, “I don’t even know what she did.”

The class burst into laughs, and I felt my face turn____________as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat, hoping to prevent them from____________me at all.

But this memory is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive way. It made me____________, and gave me persistence. When I get a____________grade in school, or am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those____________that I asked myself. The terrible ache in my stomach comes back and gives me the motivation to answer all of those whys and try hard until perfection, or as ____________as I can get.

Every Friday I went to a senior nursing home. It seemed as if it needed _______ , but little did I know it would help me too. 

During my first visit I helped to polish (擦光) some ladies’ nails . One woman asked me many questions. After she was satisfied with my _____, she started to share some of her hidden____ . By listening to her, I realized I had helped her a lot: she looked_____ from some of her past pains.

When she was finished, she told me something that ____ me to visit the nursing home every week. She said, “You’re the only person I was able to tell this to. The other volunteers are too busy to____ me. You’ll come back next week, right?” After____ blowing on her newly coated nails(指甲), I smiled and _____ , “Yes, I’ll see you next Friday.”

That day, I was gladdened by the ___ that I had helped somebody. I realized an action as ___ as listening became something much more.

When you eat out with friends, it can be difficult to decide what to order, for there are often too many choices on the menu, and everything sounds good.

Luckily, a group of authors have recently written some books to help people solve this problem. Here are some of their tips about ordering food.

First, take a quick look at the menu and order what catches your eye first. Spend no more than 2-3 seconds deciding. Second, the key to ordering a good meal in a restaurant is understanding what the cooks are good at. Third, ask the waiters what they recommend and order something else – they always try to let you order expensive dishes and make money! Then ,take the menu and divide it into 4 or 5 pieces. Order from only one of the pieces, and don’t look at the other pieces. You will be happier with your meal. At last, ask the other customers at the restaurant about what they’re having and order the most popular dishes for yourself.
