I have never learned as much maths in my life as I did last year．It was because of Ms．Vacirea 1 I truly understood what I was learning．It might not seem 2 a big deal to some, but to me it is．I have never met a woman so caring and so determined to teach her 3 ．I never really wanted to work for good 4 in maths class．I never knew how to study maths and never understood some of the concepts(概念)．I can remember trying to slip out of the classroom 5 Ms．Vacirca caught me and yelled across the 6 ,“Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch?”It was a nightmare－she would always 7 me with one foot out of the door, it never failed． 8 then I just thought of it as a thing I had to do．It was funny to see how everyone would be in her room during lunch and then again after school．She would 9 everyone to come every day, just so we could do our homework in 10 ．Many of the students thought of her as a bit of nag(爱唠叨的人), but 11 they knew that she was right and respected for it．Many of her tests were 12 at first, but as the year progressed they became easier．I knew that it was because of her．
Even outside class, she was 13 as ever．She always wanted to know what was going on in my(and everyone else's)life, and she was always looking out for everyone's best interest．
Ms．Vacirca is a sweet woman with a sense of 14 that you just have to laugh at．When regents(评议员)were coming, she was more careful than ever about everyone doing well．Many of the students she had taught before 15 high, and so she 16 the same from us．Day after day there were students in the classroom 17 problems．When it was time for our big test, I knew I was ready．I walked out of that test with my head 18 ．
I knew that I was a 19 and Ms．Vacirca had made me that way．I appreciated all the hard work that she put into helping me and my fellow students．I knew that I would 20 her．
It was three days before the opening of the Pirates(海盗)of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland．Walt Disney was touring the 1 and suddenly felt strangely 2 ．In his heart he felt th at something was 3 , although he wasn't quite sure 4 it was．He 5 as many employees as h e could find－including the repairing workers and food service people－and 6 them through a kind of inspection(检查)trip．
“Does it look right?”he asked．Yes, the clothes and scenes were 7 ; the buildings had been copied from the New Orleans French Quarter in Caribbean．
“Does it sound right?” Disney 8 the latest sound equipment installed(安装)in order to exactly 9 the sounds of music, voices, boats and even animals that you'd 10 to the Caribbean．Yes, it sounded right．
“Does it feel right?”He had controlled the temperature to perfectly 11 that of a New Orleans night．Yes, it felt right．
12 , something was still missing．“What is it?” Disney asked．
Finally, one of the young men who had been sweeping the floors said, “ 13 , Mr, Disney, I 14 up in the South, and what 15 me is that on summer night like this, there 16 be lightning bugs(虫子)．”Disney's face 17 up．That, of course, was 18 !The young man was given a generous prize, and Disney actually had live lightning bugs 19 in to make his ride more real 20 he could figure out a way to imitate(模仿)them mechanically．

ON receiving my learner driver license a couple of months ago, I started driving lessons straight away．In New Zealand, the 1 driving age is 15．
However it wasn't 2 two days ago that Dad finally allowed me to drive on the motorway．Our 3 was Orewa, a seaside town about 60 kilometers away from my home in Auckland．That morning I 4 sure I had enough to drink and went to the toilet about three times 5 we left．I thought I was totally 6 for the journey, but nothing could have prepared me for my family's 7 ．“Relax!Don't hold the steering wheel(方向盘)so 8 ．The car is going zigzag(弯弯曲曲的),”called a nervous voice from the 9 ．“Speed up．70km/h isn't fast enough．You are holding up the traffic,”another voice ordered from the seat next to mine．
How 10 !My parents were really starting to get on my nerves．To satisfy them I sped up and within a second, an angry voice began to yell again．“Stop! 11 !Are you crazy?”
Everything did not go fine until I pulled off the motorway and drove into the city, 12 the speed limit was only 50km/h．My family seemed relieved(放心的)and 13 telling me what to do．They all looked out of the windows and enjoyed the scenery． 14 , that silence didn't last very long．My mum suddenly cried out,“Look at those 15 above us．Aren't they lovely?”
How did she expect me to look up in the 16 ?As the driver I had to 17 ．Who knows what would have happened if I had taken my eyes off the 18 ?Four hours later we drove home．This time the journey was much 19 than before as everyone else 20 fast asleep．So, I just took my time and enjoyed the drive．
