There was a very special teacher who made a far-reaching difference in my life.

The next day, when we came to class, there would be two or three topics on the blackboard 5 to the homework reading. We were 6 to write an in-class essay about one of the topics. The following day, she would 7 the corrected and graded essays and each person would be called 8 to stand in front of the class and to 9 his/her essay. The class were required to criticize （评论） that essay, 10 the grade of everyone in class would be reduced.
The first time that I 11 her read-write-criticize method, I had not 12 to do the homework and had written something without knowing what it meant. 13 the extreme embarrassment I suffered, standing before my classmates, 14 myself. No one laughed at me; no one would be 15 enough, or foolish enough, to do that in Mrs. McNamara’s class. The embarrassment came from 16 and along with it came a strong 17 not to let it happen again.
Mrs. McNamara kept all of our written work in files; it was easy to see the 18 in writing that had occurred. What was not so easy to see was the inner transformation that had taken place, at least for me. What Mrs. McNamara 19 me to do was to see myself as others see me and, having done that, I could improve myself. And I 20 . Thank you, Mrs. McNamara.

IS THERE LIFE ON EARTH?
There was great excitement on the planet of Venus(金星) this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.?
The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20 000 light years ago).Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility(可行性) of a manned flying saucer(飞碟) landing on Earth.A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.?
“We have come to the conclusion,based on last week's satellite landing,” Pro. Zog said,“that there is no life on the Earth.”?
“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked. ?
“For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete(混凝土)and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”?
“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?”?
“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned. ”
“Are there any other hazards that you discovered in your studies?”?
“Take a look at this photo. You see this dark cloud floating over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”?
“If what you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?”?
“Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.”?
“Prof. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?”?
“Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere.”
During the week of great excitement the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information on whether they can_______.
A. land a satellite with Venus astronauts on Earth
B. make a first?rate flying saucer?
C. get a Earth Being to Venus
D. direct a flying saucer into Manhattan?

A. the polluted air floating over the surface of Earth?
B. the mass of tiny drops of water floating above Earth?
C. the things that are unknown to everybody?
D. the dark clouds gathering before a storm breaks?
The author wishes to call our attention to the fact_______.?
A. that modern man has polluted his environment to such an extent that he might destroy himself if he went on like this?
B. that there is no point in spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth?
