Mike didn’t do his English homework. The teacher asked him    31  . “I’m sorry, I   32  .” “But why did you forget?” “It didn’t seem   33   or important,” said Mike. “Are you going to punish (懲罰)me?” asked Mike. “   34  . The punishment is for me. I didn’t teach you well,” said the teacher.

“Thank you,” said Mike. “You are the best    35  in the world. I can never know as much as you , but you taught me a lot.” “How can I be a good teacher if the students do not know more than me? I will not succeed until that happens,”   36  the teacher.

Mike’s   37   teacher was a strict（嚴(yán)厲的） man.. Every day Mike played the same piece of music,and the teacher said it was not good and he must practise   38  . After two years of hard work, Mike left and felt sad.   39  when he played it in public, everyone said it was perfect, and he found he could play other pieces of music easily.   

What do you think of these two   40  ?

I am a person who can get angry   26 . But after  27 a passage from my English teacher, things have changed  28 . I am studying at a boarding school, so I have to learn  29  how to study well, but how to get on well with others. Some of us are  30  while others are quiet. So it is  31 that people have problems and arguments.

Smiling at others is the easiest way to stop argument. Another way is to think  32 your ideas are right before having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep and open  33 . Try to forgive（原諒）them. Having a friend is  34 better than having an enemy after all. Also,   35 point out others’ mistakes  36 . If you really want to help them, send a letter  37 . On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages, don’t  38 . Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and make friends  39 you. Remember: Forgiving makes life  40 .
