学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a strong wish for superpowers. As a boy, I could 1 see some of my teachers had such powers.
There was an English teacher in the fifth grade. She could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never 2 . This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too 3 to have stories read out to them.
It was even surprising that my teacher could see the invisible. I was one of those who had 4 insight (洞察力). Yet my teacher could notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes 5 that she could see me through. She had another superpower and even after forty years, I could still remember her 6 lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers. She did this though her major (专业) was not art, 7 geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.
I know being a teacher isn’t the easiest or the best-paid job. And there are some 8 . For example, your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school stairs. And your 9 can become weak because of too much talking. However, there are those choosing this career. To them, teaching is not just a job— it is a science, an art and a craft. It requires emotional investment (情感投入).
All my life, for thirty years now, I’ve gone to work early each day with a 10 in my step. Sometimes, I meet my former students. Their love for me and happy memories of our time together are my rewards. I feel very proud to be a teacher with superpowers too.
