During my second year of middle school, our teacher gave us a test. I studied hard and   __46  well in all the subjects, so the questions were not difficult for me.  47  I stopped when I read the last one：“What is the   48  of the woman that cleans the school?”
Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 60 years old. She had dark hair. But   49  would I know her name? I had never talked    __50 her before. In fact, I had never even thought about talking to her. I started to feel rather guilty(惭愧的).Finally, I   51  my paper, without finishing the last question.
Before the class ended, one student asked, “Will be last question count(计入) toward   __52  grade?” “Of course,” the teacher said, “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if you just   53  and say hello to them.”
I’ve never forgotten that   54 _. I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most   55  lesson of my life. Later, I learned that the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.

During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us a quiz (小测验). I was a hardworking student and I did well    26   all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one, “What is the first name of the    27  who cleans the school?”
I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But    28   would I know her name? I have    29  talked with her before. In fact, I’ve never even thought about talking to her! I stared at (盯着) my paper and started to feel rather guilty (惭愧的). Finally, I handed in my paper   30   writing the answer to the last question.
Before the class ended, one student    31   the teacher if the last question would count (计入) into our grade. “In your life,” the teacher said, “you will meet many people. All are    32 . They deserve (值得) your attention (注意) and care, even if all you do is just smiling and saying hello.”
I’ll never    33   that lesson. Everyone deserves our attention and we should try to get to know all the people who work and live around us. That was the most important    34 of my life. Later that day, I    35  that the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.

It was near Christmas during my first term teaching at a new school. I loved my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past. They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.

? Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasn’t expecting any gifts.

? Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a much-loved toy monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor.” How thrilled I was!

? Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother’s cupboard(碗橱).

? Finally, I came to one little boy’s gift which I had never received. It was an old, dirty and broken Christmas storybook. Just when I wanted to show my happiness, I was interrupted(打断) by the giver, “And see, it is new! It still has the price tag（标签）.”

?? When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, Let’s read one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.

?? I still keep those Christmas gifts. They always remind me of my lovely kids.
