Denny Crook was a famous photographer. He traveled all over the world, taking pictures for magazines and newspapers, and won many prizes.

“I’ll do anything to get a good photo,” he often said. “I’ll go anywhere at any time, even if it is   26 .”

And he told the   27 . He had photos of earthquakes, forest fires, floods and even wars. If something interesting happened, Denny went to photo it.

He was a married man and his wife often asked him to take her with him, but he always   28 .”I’ll travel for my work, not for   29 ,” he told her. “You won’t enjoy yourself, and I won’t have   30  to look after you. Sometimes there’s not even anywhere to   31 , and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good   32  or a bath for days. You won’t like it.”

“Denny, I’m not a child,” his wife didn’t   33 . “I can look after myself. Please take me with you the next time you go overseas.”

Denny did not say anything, but he   34  about it, and when he was asked to go to Africa he said to his wife, “You can come to Africa with me if you want to. I’ve got to take photos of wild   35  there. It should be interesting and not too uncomfortable.”

His wife was very   36 , and at first she had a very enjoyable time.

Then Denny went to off to   37  some lions to photo. His wife went with him, but before long they became separated. She walked down one path while he walked down the other.

Suddenly, Denny heard her   38 . He ran back and saw her running toward him. A huge lion was chasing her.

Quickly Denny took his camera out of its case and   39  it at his wife and the lion.

Then he shouted, “  40 , woman! I can’t get you both in the picture!”

With a hat by his feet, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building. He held up a sign which said, “I’m blind, please help.”
Only a few people put   36  in the hat. A man was walking by. He   37  some coins into the hat. He then turned the sign   38 , wrote some words, put the sign back and left.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people   39  to give money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see   40  things were. The boy recognized his footsteps （认出他的脚步声）and asked, “Were you the one who   41  my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a   42  way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day,   43 I cannot see it.”
Both the   44  told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply   45  people to help by throwing some money into the   46 . The second one, however, told people that they were able to enjoy the   47  of the day, but the boy couldn’t   48  he was blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn   49  this story. First, be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help them if you can.   50  , be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

It seemed that learning well __40__ nothing to do with them,’ she says. ‘At first, I got worried about this, but then I said to myself, “You’re teaching __41__, and you need to manage this … These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good __42__. They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they might regret the time they have wasted.”’
Kirk also __43__ a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
