There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy.The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 36 a hostile eye.On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own.The boy, not noticing he was no longer 38 , picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows.Turning, he saw Neil.Instead of finding himself 39 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 40 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window.The boy had to 41 to get the window repaired, so did Neil. 42 he thought this a small price to pay for 43 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 44 improved afterwards.
Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 45 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children.Not everyone is so 46 .Willie Russell, the 47 , likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 48 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher.On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a(n) 49 experience for one so new to the job.Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window.When the boy saw that he had been 50 by a teacher, his face fell. 51 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil.Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window.Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 52 by flying stones.
Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 53 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone.It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher. Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 54 playwriting.Most of his plays are very imaginative and 55 .A bit like this story, in fact.

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 【小题1】 began when I was just a kid. I 【小题2】 becoming a doctor. My mother was a worker. Through her work, she observed that 【小题3】 people spent a lot more time reading than they 【小题4】 watching television. She announced that my brother and I
【小题5】watch two to three TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and then 【小题6】 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 【小题7】 . My mother was illiterate (文盲的).
When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I 【小题8】 the fashionable clothes. I wanted to 【小题9】 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 【小题10】 at one of her several jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing (擦洗) floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 【小题11】 food and pay the bills. With the money that is 【小题12】 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 【小题13】 with that plan, but once I had finished paying for all of the important things, there was 【小题14】 left. I realized that my mother was always dealing with money well to be able to 【小题15】 a roof over our heads and to put food on the table. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. _【小题16】__ required intellectual (智力的) preparation. I went back to my 【小题17】 and became an A-student again. Finally, I 【小题18】 my dream and I became a doctor. My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with 【小题19】 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. Now I believe that there is no job more 【小题20】 than parenting.
