When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher if I grew up，simply because I wanted to write on the chalkboard！My teachers seemed to be the   36  printers，curving their letters just so，and I wanted to do it   37 ！Now，after "higher education"，and three   38  career paths，I have come back to want to be a   39 ，but my reasons have changed. I was   40  in my years of high school，to have teachers that really   41  me as an individual, and I want to   42  this back.
A teacher's gentleness needs to be shown when    43   or encouraging the students. It is important to make the corrections in order for the students to learn.    44  ，this needs to be done in a    45   that will help to    46   the student to make the changes necessary,___47___  discouraging them from learning.Being patient is also extremely important，because the class needs to know what to    48   from the teacher.This will also help to build a better agreement with the students，and help both the teacher and students to learn more about each other.
If a teacher exhibits a true love of    49   and helping students learn，many of the qualities ___50___ above will just fall into place. The teacher that had the most    51   on me had the best fame in the school. She was strict，and she did demand a lot, but she was able to show us it was               ___52___she cared for us. She knew each of us was worth it，and she knew we each could do it. She __53___ knowledge，gently, firmly, patiently，respectfully, and most effectively. She gently encouraged us to make    54   when we needed to，and    55   us when we did. She was a true teacher, not just someone who taught，and this is the kind of teacher I hope to be.

I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer last surnmen The training
I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not  read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket,because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence,which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarketelt. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son,Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.
“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson.
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.
This insult(侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge.
Now , the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair.

Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.
“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson.”
