Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. 21 I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his 22 qualities. First of all, I respected his 23 to teaching. Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 24 what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on（依赖） to explain his ideas in an 25 way, introducing such aids to 26 as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he 27 sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 28 , 1 admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 29 the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 30 a student to a game of chess. 31 , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of 32 ：agriculture, diving and mathematics. Many young people visited him in his office for 33 on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings. Finally, I was 34 by his lively sense of humor. He believed that no lesson is a success 35 , during it, the students and the professor 36 at least one loud 37 . Through his sense of humor, he made learning more 38 and more lasting. If it is 39 that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, 40 my friend is indeed a wise man.
