Terry was a middle—aged businessman．He was  1  in career and often complained（抱怨）that he had been fooled by others．One day he told his wife he was  2  disappointed with the city that he had to  3  ．

So his family moved to another city．it was Saturday  4  ．When Terry and his wife were busily putting their things in their new home，the lights suddenly  5  and they were forced to stop work．Terry was sorry to have 6  to bring along some candles．Just then he heard light  7 on his door．

“Who is it?”he wondered．Terry knew  8  else in the new city，and this was the moment he especially hated to be  9  ．He opened the door impatiently（不耐烦地）．At the door was a little  10  shyly asking，“Sir，do you have  11  I’m your neighbor．”“No，”answered Terry angrily．He shut the door  12  ．

After a while the door was knocked again．He opened it and  13  the same little girt outside．But this time she was  14  two candles radiating red light．She said，“My grandma told me the  15  neighbor downstairs might need candles．She sent me here to  16  you these.”

At that moment Terry shuddery realized what  17 his failure in life．It was his indifference（冷漠）and  18  to other people．The person who had fooled him in life was actually nobody else  19  himself，for his eyes had been covered by his  20  mind．What’s your attitude in the daily life?

Ms Petoskey，my seventh grade teacher at Queen of Apostles was，and still is，the greatest teacher．She was creative with her teaching styles；every new day she brought a new way of learning literature，by using a game，a rap song，and other things．

I must say，the kids in my class sometimes didn’t listen to the teachers carefully，but Ms Petoskey was able to attract their attention．Her literature classroom had bean bags and fan chairs to sit in while we read，and our desks were always set up in special positions-all around the room。It looked messy when you walked in the room，but we liked it! She let us choose who we sat nest to，but once we talked too much，she would move us．She allowed us to make her classroom our home．

She was passionate（热情的）about her job．She let us choose the books we wanted to read next，which made me more interested in books．It wasn’t what we had to read，but what we wanted to read．Whenever we would present ideas about literature or poems，her eyes would light up and she would become excited．

She always made sure everyone was having fun in her class and brought cakes to the classroom every Friday for our silent reading time．She was patient when we got out of hand．She was always cheerful，which made me enjoy coming to school．Ms Petoskey is the teacher I still visit and chat with（even after five years） ．She is the teacher I can thank for making me enjoy reading!
