D
It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the 36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 37 between teacher and student. When she finally 38 it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn 39 of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, 40 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 41 . I figured I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some 42 to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how 44 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason 45 and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the classroom.
As I 46 the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” A number of them said, “You give us too much homework.” Some kids said, “We’re 47 of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I 48 were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too 49 , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 50 my students, I had begun commanding them to 51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was 52 driving them away.
I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one 53 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for 54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 55 .

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago. 71 One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter(柜台). 72 I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). 73
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
74 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领)it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
|
A.He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet. |
|
B.Later I thought about it again. |
|
C.To my surprise, he took out a twenty–dollar bill and handed it to me. |
|
D.So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned. |
E. I wanted to be honest, so I didn’t care much about money.
F. I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.
