Mr Henry taught sixth grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a 1 about an animal called the cattywampus, a kind of animal that died out during the Ice Age. He 2 around a skull（头盖骨）as he walked. We all took 3 and later had a test.

When he returned my paper, I was 4 .There was a big red “×” through each of my answers. I had failed! 5 must be some mistake! I had written down 6 what Mr Henry

said. Then I learned that everyone in the class had 7 . What had happened? Very simple, Mr Henry 8 . He had invented this cattywampus. There had never 9 any such animal. The information in our notes was, 10 , incorrect. Did we expect our marks for incorrect answers? Needless to say, we were 11 .

What kind of test was this? And what kind of teacher? Mr Henry said he 12 we would learn something from this experience. 13 and textbooks are not perfect. 14 no one is. He told us not to 15 our minds go to sleep, and to speak out 16 we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.

Every class was an exciting one 17 Mr Henry. I can still remember some science periods from beginning to end. I haven’t made any great scientific subjects, 18 Mr Henry’s class gave me and my classmates something 19 , like the courage to look people in the 20 　and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you can have fun doing it.
