Nearly two decades has passed , I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles ,it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth .Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.

　　　 When James was a teenager ,his father　 36　 him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The　 37 was to get James a job.

　　　 He entered the factory ,and immediately felt as if the　 38　 had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot , the windows covered with dust, and the　 39　 were packed tightly together ,running like trains. The fur hairs were flying , 　40　 a thickened air ,and the workers,

41　 the pieces of fur together , were bent over their needles　 42 the boss marched up and down the rows ,searching for them to go faster .James could hardly　 43 . He stood next to his father ,frozen with fear ,hoping the boss wouldn’t　 44 at him , too.

　　　 During lunch break ,his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,　 45 if there was any work for his son. But　 46 there was barely enough 47 for the adult labours ,for no one would give it up once he takes a job.

　　　 Thus , for James, it was a　 48 . He hated the place. He made a　 49 that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought　 50 to someone else ,and he would never allow himself to　 51　 money off the seat of others.

　　　 “What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.

　　　 “I don’t know,” he　 52 say. He ruled out law ,because he didn’t like 53　 , and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the　 54 of blood.

　　　 “What will you do?”

55　my best professor I ever had became he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.
