完形填空。      It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn"t all that funny. 
     Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the    1   . Frozen, she
refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet    2   between teacher and student.
When she finally    3   it over she whispered, "Okay, but I didn"t draw it."
     It was a hand-drawn    4   of me, teeth blackened and the words "I"m stupid" coming out of my mouth.
     I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,    5   , was working angrily as I struggled not to    6  . I figured
I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some   7  to teach them
a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
     Thankfully, I was able to keep myself    8   .
     When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told
them how    9   this was for me. I told them there must be a reason    10   and now was their chance to write
down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the
classroom.
     As I    11   the notes later, many of them said something like, "I"ve got nothing against you," or "I"m sorry
you were hurt." A number of them said,"You give us too much homework." Some kids said,"We"re   12  of
you." But two notes, from the girls who I   13  were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   14 , too
strict…
     Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of    15   my students, I had begun
commanding them to    16  . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was    17   driving them away.
     I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a
card. The one    18   by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for
 19 .
     This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 
 20  .
