六、完形填空。
Do you remember the name of your kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name is Mrs White. I thought she must be a sister of Snow White, because she had the same blue eyes, dark hair and fair skin 1 Snow White.
I don't remember much about what I 2 in her class. My mother once told me that I used to 3 a lot. I would bring back my writings and she would read them. There were so many 4 but no red corrections. Instead, there was always a star. Sometimes even a “Good” would make my heart full of 5. One day, my mother went to 6 Mrs White for a parent-teacher activity. Then she asked Mrs White 7 she never corrected my spelling or grammar mistakes.
“The children just 8 to get excited about using words and making sentences. I don't want my students to lose 9 because of red crosses. Spelling and 10 can wait, but the magic of words won't,” Mrs White said.
I can remember the time of learning in the kindergarten was so happy for me. As I grow up, I 11 want to know many things and love my life. Now I think Mrs White must be a(n) 12 teacher because she used very few red crosses.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot, and it made my teacher in high school 13. She asked me to use “pretty” instead when I was writing. I didn't listen to her. In my eyes, “pretty” is 14 to spell, but it doesn't mean as much as “beautiful” sometimes.
Thanks to Mrs White, I have never 15 writing what I meant even if I couldn't quite spell it out. I believe life may not be “pretty”, but it’s “beautiful”.
