　　On my first day of teaching, all my classes are going well. 1 a teacher was going to be something easy and sure, I decided. Then came Period 7, the last class of the day.

　　As I walked 2 the room, I heard furniture crash. Rounding the corner, I saw one boy pinning 3 to the floor. “Listen, you retard!” yelled the one on the bottom. “I don't 4 a damn about your sister!”

　　“You keep your hands 5 her, you hear me?” The boy on 6 threatened.

　　I drew 7 my short frame and asked them to stop 8 . Suddenly 14 pairs of eyes were fixed on my face. I knew I did not 9 convincing. Glaring at each other and me, the two boys slowly 10 their seats. At that moment, the teacher from 11 the hall stuck his head in the door and shouted at my students to sit down, shut up and do 12 I said. I was left 13 powerless.

　　I tried to teach the lessons I had prepared, but was 14 a sea of guarded faces. As the class was leaving, I kept back the boy who had instigated（挑起）the fight, I'll call him Mark. “Lady, don't 15 your time,” he told me, “we're the retards.” Then Mark wandered 16 the room.

　　Dumbstruck, I 17 into my chair and wondered 18 I should have become a teacher. Was the only 19 for problems like this to get out? I told myself I'd suffer for one year, and after my marriage the next summer I'd do something 20 rewarding.
