No one laughed at me; no one would be 15enough, or foolish enough, to do that in Mrs. McNamara’s class. The embarrassment came from 16and along with it came a strong 17not to let it happen again.
Mrs. McNamara kept all of our written work in files; it was easy to see the 18in writing that had occurred. What was not so easy to see was the inner transformation that had taken place, at least for me. What Mrs. McNamara 19me to do was to see myself as others see me and, having done that, I could improve myself. And I 20. Thank you, Mrs. McNamara.

【解析】考查助动词。此处考查动词do/did/does代替另一动词的用法。根据上文I could improve myself可知应使用did代替improved,即“我的确发展了自我”,不能选择could,因此处强调的是动词improve本身而并非是“能”。

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a 47 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 48 hands.
