Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled 38 from behind me. A man got out and offered to 39 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became 40 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind.

This had 43 me.
Then, without 44 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I 45 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much 46 when seeing an old woman there.

As we shook hands I began to apologize for my 52 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same 53 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I 54 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a 55 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

I went to the classroom with great confidence when I gave my first lesson to my English literature class. Since I had taught in America for many years, I had no 36 ______about my ability to hold their attention and to 37 ______them my admiration for the literature of my native language.
I was 38 ______when the monitor shouted，“ Stand up！ ” The whole class 39 ______ as I entered the classroom. I was somewhat 40 ______how I could get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 41 ______my calmness and began what I thought was a fact- packed lecture, sure to gain their 42 ______ — perhaps even their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow(满面红光）which came from a sense of 43 ______.

The first diary said，“ Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.

I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 48 ______for all the works we'll study in class, “ I complained. “ How should they say I didn't 49 ______ them anything?"
