完形填空
From age eight to eleven, I attended a primary school in Bath, England.It was a(n) 1 school composed of(由…组成) four classes with about 25 children in each class according to 2 .For the most part, one teacher was responsible for teaching all subjects to the children in their class. 3 , sometimes the headmaster would come in and spend an hour or so, 4 some subject in which he was especially 5 .The headmaster’s name was Mr.Ronald Broackes. 6 he was quite strict about rules within the school, he had a sense of humor and would 7 telling the children small stories that would make us laugh.He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children.In my own 8 , I found that he took a great interest in me and he quickly discovered that I enjoyed 9 .He would often stop me as I was going to class and produce a piece of paper from his pocket, often with a puzzle 10 on it.The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical(逻辑的).As time went on, they slowly got more 11 , but I loved them.Not only that, they kindled(点燃) within me a 12 of mathematics and problem-solving that stays with me to this 13 .They also served to show me that intellectual activity was 14 when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great 15 .To this day I can remember Mr.Broackes’ joyous cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem 16 .This simple interaction with a man whom I 17 greatly has had a deep effect on my life.I shall forever be grateful for that.Mr.Broackes died just two weeks after the 18 that I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.Unfortunately, I had no 19 to speak with him before he died.I learnt later that he had heard of my 20 and I will always hope that he realized the deep effect he had made on my life.
