　 An acrobatic（杂技的）master performed a tightrope（钢丝）walk between two mountains, which attracted thousands of people.

　 When the 　36 started, he went to one end of the tightrope, 　37 straight at the goal ahead, with open arms, walking slowly step by step to the opposite side of the mountain. Immediately, the audience 　38 loud applause.

“If my hands are tied, do you also believe ! can 　39 ？” he asked the audience.

　 　40 , some people didn’t believe, but in order to know the 　41 , they said, “We believe you !”

Then, he had his hands tied with a rope and walked past 　42 .

　 He looked around and said, “If I’m blindfolded（蒙着眼睛的）with my hands tied, do you ___43 believe I can go past?”

　　 This time, the people said without 　44 , “We believe you!”

　　 In this way, his eyes were 　45 with a black cloth. He moved slowly to the tightrope and

walked along it inch by inch. This time, he went past once again. The audience burst into 　46 .

Then, he 　47 a child and asked all the people, “If I put him on any shoulders 　48__ I’m blindfolded with my hands tied as well, do you still believe I can make it?”

　 All the people replied before 　49 , “We believe you!”

　 “I ask you again, do you really believe me?”

　 “Yes, we believe you completely !”

　 Then, he said, “Well then, since you believe me, 　50 my child with yours. Who will?”

　 All of a sudden, the audience fell 　51 . The silence lasted for nearly ten minutes.

　 After ten minutes, the acrobatic master said nothing, just put the child on his shoulders and walked past along the tightrope. Sure enough, this time he 　52 once more.

Faced with things far from their own 　53 , people can often make judgments easily and quickly, but once involved in（牵涉）it, most of people “cannot 　54 it clearly”. Only those who are really confident, like the master in the tightrope walk, can stay 　55 at any time.

What makes a good teacher? Generally speaking, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 　36 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 　37 speaker, with a good, strong, 　38 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 　39 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 　40 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 　41 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 　42　 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listening to him, you will 　43 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 　44 according to what he is 　45 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 　46 that he will indeed be able to act 　47 on the stage, for there are very important 　48 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 　49 words each time he plays a certain part; 　50 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 　51 before hand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 　52 on the stage. A good teacher 　53 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 　54 : they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don’t understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 　55 it as he goes along.
