When I was young，I was very proud.I liked to show off （炫耀）in front of others to earn their praise.But after one （1） experience，I came to understand that it's important to be modest （谦虚）.

I shouted.Then we rode towards the woods .（6） ，the path wasn't as smooth as I thought.I kept bumping （颠簸）up and down，and then suddenly..bam!I fell （7） my bike.I（8） my elbows and knees bleeding. "Ha﹣ha!" My friend made a face and helped me up."Be more careful next time，" she said.Tears ran down my（9） . "Sorry，" I said.

Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He 1 that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach 2 students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to 3 . Other letters, such as C ,were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
The 4 thing they learned was finer spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They 5 with two-letter words such as at and on . Then they spelled 6 words.
Finally, Mr. Klein showed that 7 one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand, 8 the thumb(拇指) to the chest(前胸) , and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands. Expressions on the face are also 9 . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
When Inez first entered the classroom. She looked 10 . But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez. ” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful welcome !”

While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I. Because I was in great need ofand wanted to do something useful, I applied(申请).
Three days later, a letter. It asked me to see theat Croydon. It proved to be a (n) journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk ofa quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principalopened the door. He wasand round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into groups and teach them at three different, and I was notat the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon most of my friends would be themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “You’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”
