Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met in my life is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa．　　1　　 I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his 　　2　　 qualities．First of all, I respected his 　　3　　 to teaching．Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom．His followers liked the fact that he 　　4　　 what he taught．Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an 　　5　　 way, introducing such aids to 　　6　　 as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers．Once he 　　7　　 sang a song in class in order to make a point clear．　　8　　, I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 　　9　　 the telephone．Drinking coffee in the café, he would easily make friends with students．Sometimes he would 　　10　　 a student to a game of chess．　　11　　, he would join student groups to discuss a variety of 　　12　　: agriculture, diving and mathematics and so on．Many young people visited him in his office for 　　13　　 on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings．Finally, I was 　　14　　 by his lively sense of humor．He believed that no lesson is a success 　　15　　, during it, the students and the professor 　　16　　 at least one loud 　　17　　．Through his sense of humor, he made learning more 　　18　　 and more lasting．If it is 　　19　　 that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, 　　20　　 my friend is indeed a wise man．

　　I never knew how well Mother could keep a trust until I was going through her things after she died．I discovered something I had 　　1　　 forgotten, something that happened to me as a child．

　　One night, as I lay in bed 　　2　　 my sisters and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how 　　3　　 I behaved toward Mother．“I must make things right before going to sleep, ” I thought．

　　Quietly I 　　4　　 out of bed and picked up pencil and paper from the dresser, then tiptoed into the hall．The 　　5　　 from the living room shone dimly．I knew Mother was downstairs mending socks．

　　I quickly 　　6　　 a note asking Mother to forgive me for being so 　　7　　．I didn't want my brothers and sisters to know my 　　8　　, so I added a postscript： “Please don't let anyone see this．” Then I quietly moved 　　9　　 my parents’ bedroom and put the letter under Mother's pillow．

　　I 　　18　　 the packet and glanced at the handwriting on the bottom．To my surprise I 　　19　　 my childish writing, “P．S．Please don't let anyone see this．Love, Edie．”

　　I gently placed the unopened bundle in the 　　20　　 along with other things for the rubbish burner．“Lord, ” I prayed “make me like my mother．”
