"I am going to have a dance performance tonight." Mary ran towards me with a rare bright smile on her face, saying, “I hope you'll come. ” She left   31   , disappearing in the throngs of people quickly.
I could hardly believe my ears, for Mary was a quite ordinary girl. I had never seen her   32 or wearing attractive clothes, moreover, she always wore her big black-frame glasses.
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, and found my seat. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would suffer from a hard time before her   33  , for I had no   34  of art, but her performance was worth  35 , no matter how long I would wait for. Time went slowly, I                               36   not to fall asleep.
Finally it came Mary’s turn. I opened my eyes as large as possible,   37   to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shining skirt, Mary appeared on the glorious stage. Her dress went well with the brilliant lights. I could feel all the audience in the hall   38  their eyes on her and it was also   39   for me to remove my sights from her.    40    with a charming smile, she looked like a pretty butterfly flying on the splendid     41  . After all the performances ended, I waited for her at the gate.
"Hi!" She stood in front of me with a bag and her crystal high-heeled shoes in her hands, and dressed as she used to be, but the making-up still could be seen. I expressed     42  to her. "I knew it would be wonderful." She could not hide her    43  , laughing like a child. Her crystal shoes were shinning in the wonderful    44   night. Suddenly I    45    that every girl has a pair of special shoes like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.

It was her giggling (咯咯笑) that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (肇事者), I asked for the   36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   37  between a teacher and a student. When she finally   38  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.” It was a hand-drawn   39  of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,   40  , was working angrily as I struggled not to   41 . I figured I knew the two most likely students who drew the picture. It would do them some   42  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it.
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   44  this was for me. I told them there must be a reason   45    and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I was seated in the back of the classroom, with tears in my eyes.
As I   46  the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing   47  you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re afraid of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   48  drew the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   49 , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   50  my students, I had begun commanding them to   51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   52  driving them away. I had some apology to make. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   53  by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   55 .
