“Look, it’s Baldy!” A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though I was

used to regular insults（侮辱）because of the   41   on my head, it was   42   horrible to hear. I sighed as I headed back to the class.

         When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious   43   after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. I was   44   to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors   45   to save my life. “Holly’s very   46   to be alive,” they told Mum and Dad. “But she’ll be   47   with scars on her head, and of course her hair won’t grow there.”

         As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I   48   wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home.   49   I didn’t, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never   50   understood how it felt.

         Then through the hospital I was   51   to a children’s burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There I   52   14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so  53   that she never lets anyone put her down. “You shouldn’t   54   what people say about what you look like because we’re not different from anyone else, Holly, ”  She   55   me. “And you don’t need to wear a scarf because you look great   56   it!” For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something   57   . So weeks later, at my 13^th birthday party,   58   by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to   59   away behind my scarf.

         Now, I am   60   of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality that decides who you are.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students, you must be __1__-speaking, with a good, strong,__2__voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to __3__what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

__4__a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class; he __5__the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his__6__, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express his__7__.

The__12__has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the__13__words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually__14__beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem __15__on the stage.

A good teacher__16__in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his __17__: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't __18__something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must __19__it as he goes along.
