There is a story about a school teacher named Mrs. Thompson. Standing in front of her   36    grade class on the first day of school, she told the children a lie. She said she   37   them all. But that was   38  , because there was a little boy called Teddy, whom she didn’t like at all.

Mrs. Thompson was    39  that he didn’t play well with other children, that his clothes were    40   and that he always needed a bath.   41    ,  when she received his records, she got a real   42 .

Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a smart child with ready laugh.  He does his work neatly and has good manners.” 

His second grade   43     wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home    44  be a struggle.”

His third teacher wrote, “ His mother’s death has been  45  to him.”

By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was 46      herself. She felt even worse when students    47     her beautiful Christmas presents, except for Teddy’s ---- a   48   that was one quarter full perfume（香水）.

After the children left she   49  for at least an hour.

Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the   50    children in the class. Six years went by when she got a letter from Teddy,    51   that he had finished high school.

There followed another letter years later. Teddy    52      Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding and asked    53   she could sit in the place usually kept for the    54   of the groom.

Teddy  55   in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important”

Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back saying “Teddy, you are wrong. In fact, I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
