【题目】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 【1】 a hostile eye. On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 【2】 had just rounded a comer when he came across the boy playing on his own. The boy, not noticing he was no longer 【3】，picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows. Turning, he saw Neil.

Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 【10】 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children. Not everyone is so 【11】 .

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 【19】 playwriting. Most of his plays are very imaginative and 【20】 . A bit like this story,in fact.
