7．I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me．I was a new （21）teacher，and I gave an honest account of the students'work．In Simon's case，the grades were awfully low．He couldn't read his own handwriting．（22）But he was a bright student．He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension．His work in no way reflected his（23）abilities．
So when Simon's mother entered the room，my palms（手掌心） were sweating．I was completely（24）unprepared for her lisses on both my cheeks．"I came to thank you，"she said，surprising me beyond speech．（25）Becauseof me，Simon had become a different person．He talked of how he（26）loved me，he had began to make friends，and for the first time in his twelve years，he had （27）recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house．She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the（28）self-respectI had nurtured（培养） in her son．She kissed me again and left．
I sat，stunned （惊呆），for about half an hour，（29）wondering what had just happened．How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without （30）even knowing it？What I finally came to（31）remember was one day，several months before，when some students were（32）giving reports in the front of the class，Jeanne spoke（33）quietly，and to encourage her to raise her voice，L had sai，"Speak up．Simon's the expert on this．He is the （34）only one you have to convince，and he can't hear you in the（35）back of the room．"That was it．From that day on，Simon had sat up straighter，paid more attention，（36）smiled more，and became happy．And it was all because he（37）happenedto be the last kid in the last row．The boy who most needed （38）praise was the one who took the last seat that day．
It taught me the most（39）valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career，and I'm thankful that it came （40）early and positively．A small kindness can indeed make a difference．

20．
From my second grade on，there was one event I feared every year：the piano recital（独奏演唱会）．A recital （36）meantI had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers．Each year I （37）wouldask my father if I could skip the recital"just this once"．And each year he would shake his head，muttering（嘀咕） （38）somethingabout build self-confidence and working toward a （39）goal．
So it was with really great（40）satisfactionthat I stood in church one recent Sunday，video camera in hand，and （41）keptmy 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt （42）beforerising to play the piano in his very first recital．
My father had longed to play music since childhood，but his family was poor and couldn't （43）affordlessons．He could have gone on regretting it，（44）astoo many of us do．But though he was rooted in his past，he wasn't （45）stuckthere．When he retired three years ago，he （46）persuaded his church music director to take him as a student．
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard，he （47）simplystared down at his fingers．Has he forgotten the （48）notes？I worried，remembering those split seconds（49）decadesago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would （50）freeze．But then came the beautiful melody（旋律），from the（51）samefingers that once baited（装饵于） my fishing lines．And I（52）realizedhe had been doing what music teachers always stress：（53）concentrateonthe music and pretend the others aren't there．
"I'm （54）proudof him for starting something new at his age，"I said to my son Jeff．
"Yeah，and doing it so（55）nicely，"Jeff added．
With his first recital，my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago．
