I haven't seen Mr. Jenkins since I finished school, but I often think about him. I wasn't very good at most school 1. (subject). I suppose I was a bit lazy and now I wish I'd done more work, 2. (especial) in science. The only thing I could remember is where the rain comes 3. ! But when I was 15 and went into Mr. Jenkins' class, everything changed.
Before I 4. (teach) by Mr. Jenkins, science had simply been a subject full of strange words to me. I didn't know 5. CO₂ was. And I didn't really want to know, 6. . I found it so boring and difficult. But Mr. Jenkins made everything interesting. He used 7. (explain) things which seemed difficult with lots of examples and in simple language. One day, he even took us outside, and we built a rocket! I remember that he let me pour some fuel (燃料) into the rocket, and then another student lit a match to set 8. off. It was great fun.
I know that I wasn't a smart student, 9. I was active in learning new things. Mr. Jenkins made me feel that I had my own strengths. I was 10. (interest) in the study of the stars and planets and he asked me to give a presentation to the class. Now I took a job as a science teacher just like Mr. Jenkins.

1. subjects
2. especially
3. from
4. was taught（这里原解析步骤4表述按题目空序应为第4空答案，注意与解析步骤序对应 以下同此）
5. what
6. either
7. to explain
8. it
9. but
10. interested

1. “most school...” 后应接名词复数，表示“大多数学校科目”，所以填 subjects。
2. 这里需要一个副词来修饰“in science”，“especial”的副词形式是 especially，表示“尤其，特别”。
3. “come from” 是固定短语，意为“来自”，这里表示雨的来源，所以填 from。
4. “I”和“teach”之间是被动关系，且根据“had”可知是过去完成时的被动语态，结构为“had been + 过去分词”，所以填 had been taught。
5. 这里“CO₂ was...”是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，“what”可以引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语，所以填 what。
6. “either”用于否定句末尾，表示“也”，这里表示“我也不想知道”，所以填 either。
7. “used to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“过去常常做某事”，所以填 to explain。
8. “set off”是固定短语，意为“点燃”，这里指点燃火箭，用“it”指代前面的“rocket”，所以填 it。
9. 前后句是转折关系，“but”表示转折，意为“但是”，所以填 but。
10. “be interested in”是固定短语，意为“对……感兴趣”，所以填 interested。

①Last year I spent my whole winter vacation in the US with my host family. The most unforgettable experience I had there was joining the Boy Scouts (童子军) of America. It was there that I got to face a great challenge: camping in the rain.
②One Saturday, we went hiking in the rain for more than six hours. When we finally reached the camping site, my shoes, my clothes, my bag and all the things inside it were totally soaked.
③Then, an even worse thing happened. Our guide teacher stepped out and said, "Today's hiking is a test. We're not going back home tonight! We have to live here tonight!" Soon we began to accept the truth and went to work. We just covered ourselves with a kind of plastic sheet and lay down by the campfire. While sleeping, I woke up several times. But to my surprise, I adapted (适应) to the environment quickly. Many others didn't even fall asleep.
④The sun finally rose and our hope returned. The bus came at 6 a.m. and sent us back to our lovely home.
⑤When I got home, I felt very tired but excited. I thought it was such a great challenge. I learned a lot from the experience. For example, I learned to take on the challenge and face troubles positively (乐观的).
