After a car accident put me into the hospital，I felt angry about the way my life was turning out．The doctors repaired the major damage done to my  41  ．But 1 was lying there feeling pretty sorry for myself．I didn’t care to see anyone or to talk to anyone．

For a week the nurses had been good about leaving my door closed．But one morning 1 was awakened by  42  of people in the hallway．

Since 1 was still feeling  43  for myself．I didn’t wake up in a pleasant mood．As I pushed the button to ca11 the nurse．I saw a little boy in the hallway，holding a teddy bear in one hand．A cast(石膏)completely  44  his other arm，from fingers to shoulder．

I heard his mother telling him to sit and wait．He looked over to me and   45  at me．Then without warning he came running into my room．As 1 was silently complaining of the nurses leaving my door  46  , the smile upon his face widened．

He came right up next to my  47  and held out his big brown teddy bear．It was missing an eye but cute．I stared at him．not knowing what he was wanting from me．

He said．”Teddy is still sick．He needs to stay here．Could you keep him here till he gets better?”

I  48  out and took Teddy from his hand．I promised 1 would take care of Teddy until the time he got better and keep him from  49  afterwards．

Just then the mother called to him．He looked back at me，said  50  and ran out．His mother smiled down at him and the nurse wheeled him away．I sat there hugging Teddy．The nurse responded to my call  51  in time to catch the tears rolling down my cheeks and the biggest smile on my face．

1 will never forget what that little boy gave to me that day．It was so much   52    a well-loved，one-eyed teddy bear．I have kept my promises to that little boy too．

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had  36  a beautiful sports car in a show room, and knowing his father could well   37  it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day came near, the young man awaited 38_  that his father had bought the car. 39 , on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his  40  study room. His father told him how  41  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how  42  he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully  43 gift box.

Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and  44  a lovely, leather- bound (皮纸封面) Bible(圣经),  45 the young man's name pressed in gold.   46 , he raised his voice to his father, and said "With 47  your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house.

Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class in DeMatha High school, I was an underachieving student, but I left that class determined never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by example as words that it was my duty to achieve and to serve others.

Neither of us could know how our relationship would develop over the years. When I came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him were like graduate seminars(研究生讨论课) in adolescent development, classroom management and school leadership.

After several years, I was named department chair, and our relationship shifted(变化) again. I thought that it might be terrible chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr. Offutt supported me through. He knew when to give me advice about curriculum(课程), texts and personnel(人事), and when to let me plan my own course.

In 1997, I needed his opinion about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. Instead, he encouraged me to catch the chance.

Five years ago, I became the principal(校长) of DeMatha. Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could depend on him. I have learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach.

Angrily, he raised his   21   to his father and said, “Is a Bible   22   you can give me with all your money?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
