Question

Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read The New Testament（《新约全书》）on tape .
But it 1（结巴）so badly that I was completely 2 to speak in public.
3 when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to my school. He was a retired college professor. English was his favorite subject and 4 was his deepest love. He held a book of poems as if it were a crystal, 5 pages as if uncovering treasures. When he heard that our school was teaching Shakespeare and other classics, he felt 6 for not being a part of our school sooner.
When he 7 that I not only loved poetry but was 8 it, we became closer. There was, however, one 9-- Professor Crouch could not stand the 10 that I refused to read my poems to the class.
“Jim, poetry is 11 to be read aloud,” he said. “You should be able to speak those beautiful words.” I shook my head and 12.
One day he 13 me .
After handing in a poem, I waited for his 14. It didn’t come. Instead one day as the students had gathered together, he 15 me , “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this poem.”
I stared at him in disbelief. “Why,” I started, 16 flooding me. “of course I did !” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it from 17.”
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there 18 Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way 19!
Afterwards, Professor Crouch encouraged me to read other writers’ poetry before the public. I discovered I did have a(n) 20 and found my classmates actually looked forward to hearing me recite.
