　　What personal qualities are desirable （理想的） in a teacher? Probably no two people would write exactly 1 lists, but I think the following would be generally 2 .

　　First, a teacher should be pleasant and 3 . This does not rule out （排除） people who are not 4 or even ugly, because many such have great personal charm. But it does rule out such types as the over-excitable , dull, sad , cold-mannered , or 5 with other undesirable qualities.
