…Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept the failures as a 　21 　part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we 　22 　this same right to our children.

Donnie was my youngest thirdgrader. He was a shy, nervous boy. His fear of 　23 　kept him from classroom games that other children played with joy. He 　24 　answered questions-he 　25 　be wrong. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But 　26 　changed until midterm, 　27 　Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned(指派、分配)to our classroom.

She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie 　28 　admired her. One morning we were working on 　29 　problems on the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems and filled in answers. 　30 　with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third maths problem. My student teacher looked at me 　31 . suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we 　32 , she got a canister(小筒) filled with 　33 .

“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and 　34 　lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. “I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils, one 　35 , and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 　36 ? That’s because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we 　37 　the mistakes and try again. That’s 　38 　you must learn to do, too.”

She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll 　39 　one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that 　40 　makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile---the first I’d seen on his face that year.

As students, we have classes from early morning　　　　　　　　　　　

till late afternoon. Therefore, take a ten-minute break　　　　　　　　　　　 61．　　　　 　

between class is definitely important, even necessary.　　　　　　　　　　　 62．　　　　 　

Otherwise we may feel both physically or mentally tired.　　　　　　　　 63．　　　　 　

During the ten-minute break we did something to get 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 64．　　　　 　

rid of tiredness. What we need is to have real rest,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 65．　　　　 　

instead of getting even tired. So don’t do anything that　　　　　　　　　　　　　 66．　　　　 　

will make you too excited. My ten-minute break is always pleased.　　 67．　　　　 　

I usually do some simple exercises. Sometime I have a free chat　　　　 68．　　　　 　

with my classmates or just take a walk during the break.　　　　　　　　　 69．　　　　 　

When the new class begins, I feel freshly again.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 70．
