“Are you too stupid to do anything right?” These words — said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son — were spoken  26  he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his eyes downcast.

I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional  31  . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly  32  . He had few  33  and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment . The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would  34  the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it  35  . Today he can not recall anything  36  about the chapter he wrote, or what  37  Mrs Brach gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs Brach wrote in margin（空白）of the paper: “This is  38  writing.”

“  40  I read those words, I had no ideal of who I was or  41  I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been  42  of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs Brach to evaluate. She was  43  , tough and honest. “She was just what I  44  ,” Dalkoff said.
His confidence  45  . Dalkoff believed that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of the paper.
