A little boy invited his mother to attend his school’s first teacher-parent meeting. To the little boy’s disappointment,she said she would go. This   16   be the first time that his classmates and teacher   17   his mother and he felt ashamed of her   18  . Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a scar(疤痕)that   19  nearly the right side of her face. The boy never wanted to   20  why or how she got the scar.
At the meeting, the people were impressed by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother in spite of the scar, but the little boy was still  21 and hid himself from everyone,  22   a conversation between his mother and the teacher.
The teacher asked   23 ,“How did you get the scar on your face?”
The mother answered,“When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught fire. Everyone was   24  afraid to go in because the fire was   25   ，so I went in. As I was running toward his bed, I saw a piece of wood coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked senseless but   26  , a fireman came in and saved both of us.” She touched（摸著） the   27  side of her face. “This scar will be  28 ,but to this day, I have never regretted what I did.”
At this point, the little boy came out running toward his mother with tears in his eyes. He held her mother in his arms and   29   a great sense of the sacrifice(犧牲)that his mother had made for him. He held her hand tightly for the   30  of the day.

A new term has begun. Teachers are   1  about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with(對(duì)付). They like to bring telephones（手機(jī)） and MP3 players to school. What is   2  , some students even use telephones to do out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some otherstudents listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that  3 ? “Yes.” says Delaney Kirk, a professor at Drake University.   4  she says it’s not their fault(過錯(cuò)).   5 , the teachers should be blamed(責(zé)備). Mrs Kirk first began thinking about students’ manners six years ago. “I had my first class in which students were sleeping or talking to each other. It seemed that learning well had nothing to do with them.” she says. “At first, I got worried about this.” but then I said to myself, “You’re giving   6  , and you need to deal with this kind of situation (情況). These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good   7  . They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they may regret(后悔) the time they have wasted.”
Mrs Kirk also   8  a list of suggestions(建議) to help teachers better manage (控制) their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
l     On the first day of class, tell students how they will benefit(受益) by taking the class and the importance   9  listening carefully in class.
l     Do not allow（允許） them to bring telephones or MP3 players to the class at all.
l     Tell them how to use telephones or MP3 players   10  .
