There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy. The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers        a hostile eye. On one occasion, Neil, out taking a       had just rounded a comer when he came across the boy playing on his own. The boy, not noticing he was no longer     picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows. Turning, he saw Neil. Instead of finding himself     at angrily as he expected, the boy was     to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window. The boy had to     —to get the window repaired, so did Neil.     he thought this a small price to pay for     a bond between himself and the boy, whose     improved afterwards,
Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be   and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children. Not everyone is so    . Willie Russell, the    likes to talk about the time when he had freshly    from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher. On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a( n)    experience for one so new to the job. Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children thro-wing a stone at a school window. When the boy saw that he had been    by a teacher, his face fell.     for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil. Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷)it through another window. Turning to smile proudly at the boy, his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being     by flying stones.
Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his    and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone. It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher. Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to      playwriting. Most of his plays are very imaginative and     . A bit like this story,in fact.

It was the first time for me to travel abroad and I called it a “spiritual journey”. I hadn’t a hotel before setting out I thought I could find a cheap one when I arrived. , it turned out to be a(n) .
I knew Spanish, but the quick, sad of each hotel owner’s head was easily understood — no room at the hotel. The sun had just gone down below the horizon (地平线),I didn’t know what to do and began to . Just then, an old man came with a hat covering his white hair. He asked me if I needed any help. I supposed maybe he the worried look on my face.
After explaining why I was there, he asked me to him. At first, I whether the stranger did that out of kindness. However, considering my situation, I had no other choice but to him. I walked behind him and passed through a narrow, dark side street. Finally he rang the bell on a door. “You will stay here,” he said. “It is a place.”
He was . My room was huge —with a bed, a desk and even a bath. I wanted to him, but he’d gone away. “This man can be trusted,” I thought.
Now , at the , I felt a tap (轻拍) on my shoulder. It was him ! So he was . “I want to thank you. What’s your name ? ” I said.
“Raphael,” he said. “You’re very welcome.” With that, he went away into the crowd on La Rambla. “He was not an angel but just a kind ,” I thought.
On the planet, I turned to a page in The Saints of Spain by chance. “Raphael,” it read, “is known as the supporter of travellers. He helps guide spiritual journeys.” Yes, he does.

Childhood curiosity can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I often took him to the . He loved to read and often needed to the books he’d read in order to borrow more books.Oneunintended of his nonstop reading habits was that he even at the dinner table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to him that, on certain social , reading while dining with others was not a good thing.
Every summer the teachers at his school give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so , and he always wanted to win. And he often . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so . He didn’t just want to learn about things. He wanted to learn about everything.
We helped his curiosity in every way. an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we’d turn to the , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if you have a question, the exists somewhere. All you have to do is it.
Bill remains as much of a today as when he was a child, and he seems to everything he reads. He’s often to share what he’s learned with the next person he meets. He reads at the dinner table, though — which is a good thing because the books he’s attracted to now are increasingly unappetizing (引不起食欲的): The Eradication of Infectious Diseases, Mosquitoes, Malaria & Man, and Rats, Lice, and History.
