Cloze 10
Some ten years ago, I was studying in a middle school in London. One day, Mrs. Clara gave a math 21 to our class. When the papers were 22 , she found that twelve boys had made 23 the same mistakes in the test.
There is 24 new about cheating in 25 . Perhaps that was why Mrs. Clara didn’t 26 say one word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 27 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. Clara asked no questions, and she didn’t 28 us, either. Instead, she wrote the 29 words on the blackboard: On your way home you find some 30 and you’re completely sure that you will never be found out. Later someone comes to ask you if you have 31 some money he lost. What will you do?
She then ordered us to write down the 32 , and asked us to take our whole lives to try to find out our own 33 to it.
I don’t know about the other eleven 34 . Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most 35 single thing of my life. 36 , I have been asking this question to myself when I have to make a 37 .
Because of this, Mrs. Clara has become the most 38 teacher for me in my whole life. I often think of this: if Mrs. Clara had scolded us as many other 39 often did, would I go on 40 every day?
