It was just getting dark; there was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. But I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I    1   to Salisbury.

I was going along   2   at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a woman’s scream—“  3  !”I looked round, but the only   4  of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just   5  a bend in the road about a hundred yards   6  .That was   7  the cry had come from.

“Let me go,  11   fool; you’re hurting me. Oh! Oh!”

“Drop the knife, fool. Oh!”Then a cry and a groan.

If I was to save her, it was now or   14  . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would   15   try to bring the murderer to the police station.

“Fool!”he shouted   17   he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was quicker than he. I put all I knew into   18   that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It caught him right on the ground without a   19  .I rushed to the car,  20   open the door and peered inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.

“You have been listening to a radio play. Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately.”

　　To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor, you must be able to 1 the attention and interest of your students, you must be a 2 speaker, with a good, strong, 3 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 4 what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

　　 5 a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still 6 his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his 7 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is 9 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 10 that he will indeed be able to act 11 on the stage, for there are very important 12 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 13 words each time he plays a certain part, 14 his movements and the way in which he uses his voice are usually 15 before hand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 16 on the stage.

　　A good teacher 17 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 18 :they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t obey something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of the students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 19 it as he goes along.

　　I have known many teachers who were fine 20 in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline（规定）: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
