When they got to school, the test A. was finished B. didn’t begin C. was going on——青夏教育精英家教网—

I had been a high school teacher for six years and had watched a lot of TV shows about solving cases (破案). I was about to begin my dream 35 , something I had wanted for a long, long time.

target

On the first Monday of the Firearm Officer Safety Training we were given guns and by Wednesday we were given our first test. We would score one mark for a hit to the 36 on the target, and half a mark for anywhere else on the body. When it was my turn, I entered the house 37 . It was dark and I could hardly see a single thing. Suddenly, one of the targets jumped out at me. I 38 my gun out quickly and fired two shots (射击). He fell to the ground. Another target appeared from behind and I 39 to get a successful shot. Just at the moment, I noticed something in the corner. I fired four shots and then the test ended. I came out of the house, feeling 40 that I was finally going to pass the test.

When one of the officers followed me out, I couldn’t wait to ask, “Did I pass, sir?” “No,” he said angrily. “What? Why?” I wondered. He then 41 at his shirt and shouted, “See this? 42 shots! Luckily they were paintballs. I didn’t wear any protective gear (装备) because I was just in the corner to 43 you.”

I said sorry to the officer and told him that I was not terrible at other police trainings and I always scored a high mark when we 44 telling someone that their family member had died. “That’s good,” he said. “Because when you accidentally 45 someone with the way you did, you will be able to tell the family very nicely how they died.” In the end, after nine months of what is usually a six-month course, I realized that people around me would be a lot better off if I 46 to teaching.

I am now the Head of Department for English at a high school. The words of the Rolling Stones spring to mind: You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.
