Passage 83

(江苏省南京师大附中2010届高三12月阶段测试)　　　

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 　36　 　when I was teaching the second 　37 　, 10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children: a Mother's Day tea. We had put our heads together to 　38　 　ideas of how to 　39　 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother's Day. I was surprised and 　40　 　to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 　41　 　invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child 　42　 　up at our Classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 　43　 　it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking 　44　 　.

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. "Jimmy," I said, "I have a bit of problem here and l was 　45　 if you could keep my mother 　　46　 　while I'm busy."

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 　　47　 　my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 　48　 　the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 　　49　 　.

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day's 　50　 　and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students' booklets and checked them to see if 　51　 　was completed. When I came 　52　 　Jimmy's page, he had written "Remember our Mother's Day tea we had in the second grade, Mrs. Matra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too."

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 　53　 　his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. "Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn't 　54　 　it."

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 　55　 　stopped hugging teachers years ago.
