Some time ago, a fellow teacher asked me to be the referee(仲裁人)  on the grading of an exam question. He was about to give a student a    1    for his answer to a physics question, while the student said he should receive a perfect    2   . I read the exam question: “Show how it is possible to    3   the height of a tall building with the    4    of a barometer(气压表) .”

The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building, fasten a    5  

rope to it,   6    the barometer to the street, and then bring it up,   7    the length of the rope. That’s the    8   .”

I pointed out that the student really have a strong case for full credit(学分) ,since he had answered the question   9    and correctly, but the answer did not prove competence(能力)  in physics. I   10    that the student have another try. I gave the student six minutes, with the   11    that his answer should show some    12   of physics. His answer reads:

“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean    13    the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer,   14    its fall with a stop watch. Then using the formula s=1/2at2,calculate the height of the building.”

I gave the student    15    full credit.

Before I left, the student said he had   16    answers. “But,” said the student,   17    the best way is to knock at the superintendent’s(管理者)  door. When he    18    ,you say: “Mr. Superintendent, here I have a(n)    19    barometer. If you will tell me the height of the building, I will    20   you this barometer.”

The young boy and his father sat quietly watching the snow fall on a snowy Saturday afternoon.

“Dad, my friend told me that every snowflake is      . But they look all the same to me. How can we tell?” the child asked.

Dad felt it was his     to give a more satisfying answer. “Son, snowflakes are like people. We are each      in a very special way. We can test it right now,” he said.

The child stood up, put out his hands, and     as snowflakes landed on his gloves. “These snowflakes are all different on my gloves, but those in the yard look the same. Together they are even more_    and striking. Then if people are like snowflakes, why don't they       well?”

“Choice,”Dad said. "Their choices     them what they are.”

    choice is a bad thing?” the boy asked.

“Oh, no. Only when we choose the     things.”

“How do we tell right from wrong?" the child asked.

Dad was given the chance to build upon the foundation of his son's     . He reached down and began to     with the snow. He     the snow into two sides, three large snowballs on one side and several smaller ones on the other.

“Which side did the right thing?” he asked the boy.

The child looked at both sides but      answer. Then Dad placed the three larger snowballs on top of each other.

“It’ s a snowman! The side     made me snowman!” the boy replied with    

Yes, all these people came together and recognized how special each of them was, so they joined in a(n)      to build up mankind,” Dad said.                    

The child then stood up and     an arm full of the smaller snowballs. One by one he began to throw them at the other small piles of snow. He said,”This is what happens when people can't work together. They have a(n)     .”

Dad was shocked. He stood up, lifted the boy and     him tightly, whispering to him, “I hope that your world will learn to work and live together. I hope you will make the right      

and learn to build the best snowman ever.”

   It was a perfect sunny day. At first, it was quiet and  39  happened. But later, when the boy bent down to reach one more mushroom, he was suddenly pushed to the ground. A large shadow 40   him.
