第二节 完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)

Teaching second grade is always a challenge. Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year a student called Billy　 36　 me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his　 37　 emotions and often became angry or violent. I knew that, to make　 38　 progress, his emotions needed controlling.　

One　 39　 I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billy’s mom would　 40　 me to alert (警告) me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, I would focus on　 41　 his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived.

One week our class was studying　 42　 . I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day.

That day began as normal. I was preparing activities focused on dog themes　 43　 I was told that Billy had a　 44　 morning at home and I might need to get him　 45　 . As I was talking to his mom, Billy　 46　 into the classroom. To Billy’s　 47　 , Rocky immediately ran up to his new　 48　 , wagging his tail and licking Billy’s face with doggy affection. Billy couldn’t　 49　 Rocky’s charm (魅力) and began laughing as his anger melted away.

Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky’s side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even　 50　 the other students while Rocky was sleeping.

Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid　 51　 , but on this day he found a good dog story, “Clifford’s Puppy Days,” and read it to Rocky. How　 52　 I was at the sight of Billy reading happily！My little dog was able to　 53　 Billy’s day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and　 54　 .

That day Rocky more than helped me with my　 55　 ; he helped to change the life of a child! After that Billy’s behavior definitely improved.
