9．In my professional life I am fortunate to have acquired some skills that I find I am able to use even though I've retired．
Last week while at church in the morning，I met a （41）C that had just moved to our state．

Because of my background as a（n） （51）B administrator and my computer skills，I was able to research for them online how to （52）D．the needed documents at low cost with only a slight delay．I was able to speak with them（53）C and positively about the process and explain that waiting the few （54）C days would make very little（55）B in getting their little guy enrolled and attending school again．They told me they （56）D my taking the time to sit down with them and help thern see the"forest for the trees"，for they had felt （57）B with what initially had seemed the impossibility of their situation．
Taking the time to（58）A my skills and"be present''with them had truly helped them regain some of the（59）C they had come to our city with when they moved-（60）D a better 1ife．

6．Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher？I do，mine．Her name was Mrs．White．And I（41）Bthinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney's Snow White，（42）A she had the same bright blue eyes，short dark hair，red lips and fair skin．
I don't remember much about what we（43）D in her class，but my mother once told me that we used to（44）C a lot．And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many（45）D．But no red corrections．And always a star．Sometimes（46）A a Good!But it（47）B my mother，so one day when she met Mrs．White at a Parent-Teacher meeting，she asked her why she never（48）C my mistakes．Why she never red-pencilled in the right（49）A of words or pointed out grammatical errors．
And Mrs．White said"The children are just beginning to get（50）C about using words，about forming sentences．I don't want to dampen that enthusiasm with（51）A ink．Spelling and grammar can wait but the wonder of words（52）D …"I grew up learning to use words with loving （53）D like that．
I （54）C now and think she must have been a rather
（55）Dteacher-to exercise such red-pen restraint（克制），to（56）A the joy，wonder and excitement of expression to flower-however faultily-like that，because to bloom is better than not to bloom．
I used to（57）Cbeautiful a lot．Never could quite remember that the e went（58）Athe a．Eventually the e and a settled into their right places．I am glad I didn't wait on them though．Prettv is easier to spell but it doesn't hold as much as you（59）Bsometimes．
And thanks to Mrs．White I felt no（60）Babout writing what I meant even if I couldn't quite spell it out．Because Life isn't Pretty．It's Beautiful．
