Passage 42

(安徽省灵璧中学2010届高三第三次月考)

I have never learned as much maths in my life as I did last year . It was because of Ms Vacirca 　36　 　I truly understood what was learning . It might not seem　 37　 　a big deal to some , but to me it is . I have never met a woman so caring and so determined to teach her 　38　　 　. I never really wanted to work for good 　39　 　in maths class . I never knew how to study maths and never understood some of the concepts (概念). I can remember trying to slip out of the classroom 　　40　 　Ms Vacirca caught me and yelled across the 　41　　 , “Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch?” It was a nightmare---she would always 　42　 　me with one foot out of the door , it never failed .　 43　 then I just thought of it as a thing I had to do . It was funny to see how everyone would be in her room during lunch and then again after school . She 　would 44　　 everyone to come every day, just so we could do our homework in 　45　 . Many of the students thought of her as a bit of nag (爱唠叨的人) , but　 46　 they knew that she

was right and respected for it . Many of her tests were 　47　 at first ,but as the year progressed they became easier . I knew that it was because of her .

Even outside class, she was 　48　 as ever. She always wanted to know what was going on in my (and everyone else’s) life , and she was always looking out for everyone’s best interest .

Ms Vacirca is a sweet woman with a sense of　 49　 that you just have to laugh at . When regents( 评论员) were coming , she was more careful than ever about everyone doing well . Many of the the students she had taught before 　50　 high, and so she　 51　 the same from us . Day after day there were students in the classroom 　52　　 problems . When it was time for our big test , I knew I was already. I walked out of the test with my head 　53　　 .

I knew that I was a 　54　　 and Ms Vacirca had made me that way . I appreciated all the hard work that she put into helping me and my fellow students . I knew that I would　 55　 her.
