Ted Thomason was considered one of the students who showed the least interest in school. Whenever Miss Daisy talked with him, he would answer with a   41    “yes” or “no”. He was always in dirty clothes. His hair was   42    combed（梳）. No one liked him. Miss Daisy had to admit that she felt sort of improper   43    when she graded his paper with an “F” (Fail).

The next day, the children found a completely new teacher. Miss Daisy  53    into a different person. She did all she could to help each child in her class,   54    those with poor lessons and among them was Ted. At the end of the year, Ted made great    55 _.

I was coaching girls’ track in Iowa and there was a young discus（铁饼）thrower on the team with  36  potential（潜力）. Here goes her story.

At the end of our training   37   the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she   38   come to the school on Sunday for a little   39   training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and   40   missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event,   41   that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had   42  been between 106’1” and 110’10”.

    Something began to   43  me. Why couldn't Lucy   44  to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障碍）  45   a physical one. I decided to try something   46  . I made up my mind to   47   to Lucy.

On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to  48  ?” She began to throw again, but   49   were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the   50  one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is  51  ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in  52  .

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy   53   with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had   54   thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.

Last Friday, after doing all family  36  in town, I wanted a rest  37  catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the   38  coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long   39  to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to  40  a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next   41  . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters,  42  dark glasses and worn clothes, and   43  colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did   44  me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.

Naturally, I was unhappy. However, to avoid   45  —and really I was rather  46 

about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me  47  , then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could        

48  believe it.   49  I didn’t dare to make an argument(争论). When he took a   50  piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece”. And I got it.

The boy   51  me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This  52    is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing（令人难堪的）enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to  53  . My face went red—as red as his hair—when I    54  I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just   55  my newspaper.
