There is a story about a school teacher named Mrs. Thompson. Standing in front of her   36   grade class on the first day of school, she told the children a lie. She said she   37  them all. But that was   38 , because there was a little boy called Teddy, whom she didn’t like at all.

Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a smart child with ready laugh.  He does his work neatly and has good manners.”

His third teacher wrote, “ His mother’s death has been  45 to him.”
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was 46     herself. She felt even worse when students   47    her beautiful Christmas presents, except for Teddy’s ---- a   48  that was one quarter full perfume（香水）.
After the children left she   49 for at least an hour.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the   50    children in the class. Six years went by when she got a letter from Teddy,   51  that he had finished high school.
There followed another letter years later. Teddy   52     Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding and asked   53  she could sit in the place usually kept for the   54  of the groom.
Teddy  55  in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back saying “Teddy, you are wrong. In fact, I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
