Walking over to the offender，I asked for the（36）A．Frozen，she refused to give it to me．I waited，all attention in the classroom on the quiet（37）A between teacher and student．When she finally（38）Dit over she whispered，"Okay，but I didn't draw it．"
It was a hand-drawn（39）Cof me，teeth blackened and the wordsI'm stupid"coming out of my mouth．
I managed to fold it up calmly．My mind，（40）B，was working angrily as I struggled not to （41）B．
figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture．It would do them some（42）Ato teach them a lesson，and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully，I was able to keep myself（43）B．
When there were about six minutes remaining，I showed the class the picture．They were all silent as I told them how（44）Dthis was for me．I told them there must be a reason（45）D and now was their chance to write down anything they needed t（ tell me．Then 1let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom．
As I （46）Cthe notes later，many of them said something like，"I've got nothing against you，"or"I'm sorry you were hurt．"Some kids said，"We're（47）Cof you．"But two notes，from the girls who I（48）Awere behind the picture，had a list of issues．I was too（49）B，too strict…
Reading those notes，I realized that over the course of this year，instead of（50）Bmy students，I had begn commanding then to（51）D．Where I thought I was driving them to success I was（52）A driving them away．
I had some apologizing to do．But the next day in the classroom，one boy and one girl each handed me a card．The one（53）Cby all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke．The one from the girls asked for（54）B．
This was a lesson for both the kids and me．Forgiveness does not change the past，but it does enlarge the（55）D．

A drop in the sun's radiation can cause cold winters in parts of North America and Europe，scientists say，a finding that could improve long-range forecasts and help countries （41）J for storms．
Scientists have known for a long time that the sun has an 11-year cycle during which radiation from the sun reaches a（n） （42）A then falls．But detecting a clear link of the cycle to the weather has proved much （43）H．
"Our research notices a link between solar activities and regional winter climate，"lead author Sarah Ineson of the UK Met Office told the reporters in an email．
Her team focused on the data from the recent minimum solar radiation period during 2008-10，which was a（n） （44）G calm period for the sun but at the same time，（45）C winters in the U．S and Europe were recorded which brought troubles to many businesses and made people's lives difficult．
The researchers found that a reduction in radiation from the sun can affect wind patterns，（46）D cold winters．
"While radiation levels won't tell us what the day-to-day weather will be，they provide the exciting （47）B of improved prediction for winter conditions for months and even years ahead．These predictions play an important role in long-term weather planning，"Ineson said．
Ineson's team used the data in a complex computer to （48）K long-term weather patterns．It successfully reproduced what scientists had observed happening in the upper atmosphere during changes in solar radiation．More study was needed，though．The key （49）F in the experiment lay in the satellite data used，because it spans（跨度） only a few years．"So there are still questions concerning whether the current research results are accurate and whether they can be （50）I to other solar cycles，"she said．
