Ellen Granz lied to her teacher about why she hadn’t done her homework, but, of course , many students have lied to their teachers. The is that Ellen Glanz was a 28-year–old high school teacher who was a student for six months to her teaching by gaining a fresh perspective (视角)of her school.
She found many classes , students doing as little as necessary to pass tests. She concluded that many students have little power and for their own education.
Ellen Glanz found herself doing the things. There was the day when Glanz wanted to join her friend’s party to the purchase of a new house, but she had for a math class. For the first time , she knew how students feel when they think something is more than homework.
She found a way out and told the , “I considered my choices: admit to the teacher, copy someone else’s sheet, or make up an excuse .”She chose the one —— the one most widely ——and told the teacher that the needed to complete the homework had been ripped (撕掉) from her book. The teacher accepted the story, never her book. In fact, nobody else did the homework .
“Finally,”Glanz said, “the teacher , thinking that the homework must have been difficult, each question at the blackboard while students copied the at their seats. The teacher had the material and the students had listened to the explanation. But had anything been ? I don’t think so .” Glanz found these things were in many classes . Students simply didn’t do the homework, but copied from someone else or the teacher into doing the work for them.

Later, after the test papers had been 40 , the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（离开）. As soon as we were 41 , she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she mentioned how 42 it was to stand on your own two feet and be 43 for your own acts.

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea．As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 31 those we had grown to love．We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again 32 at the pier （码头） waving good-bye to my father as his 33 pulled him away from us．My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 34 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 35 in the new environment again．
Throughout the years of changing 36 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother．For both my 37 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher．She played these roles while 38 some type of part-time job．Leaving a promising career is just one of the 39 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so． 40 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, 41 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 42 ．
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 43 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability （无能） to 44 a career or establish a home．But it was not for my mother．She turned this 45 into adventure for us all! Each relocation （变换位置） was a chance to 46 another part of the world．My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood．Each new house was a 47 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 48 pictures．Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people．
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 49 attitude．She always had strength in the face of struggle and change．My mother was so 50 all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change．She is my hero．
