①When I was in fourth grade, we would have reading circles. The other kids and I would sit in a circle and read aloud different parts of books. Then the teacher would ask us questions. I loved to answer those questions. I was an advanced(先进的) reader and a very fast reader. That meant that whenever the teacher would start asking us questions, my voice would be the first to call out the answers.
②This went on for a while, and everybody was pretty patient with me. Little did I realize, though, that the teacher was getting tired of my behavior(行为). Because I was not able to sit there and go with the other students, one dáy she put me in the corner, out of the circle.
③Did thisstop me? I am afraid not. I was simply excited about what I had read. From the corner of the room, I kept on-listening and reading ____ reading away. When the teacher would ask questions,I would still shout but the answers—— but from across the room.
④After I'd done this a few times, the teacher became angry. She decided to schedule a meeting with my parents.
⑤The next day, my mother came to school for the meeting She reminded the teacher that I was just trying to be a good student and that I needed to be challenged more. However, it was also made clear to me that there were other students in the class and they need a chance to talk, too.
⑥In the end, we worked out a solution. I would sit in the circle with the other students, but I would be given more advanced books to read. After the reading circle was over, the teacher would spend time talking with me about what I had read.
⑦And so, although I am embarrassed, I learned a lesson from it.
a. The teacher scheduled a meeting with my mother.
b. I sat in a circle and was always the first to call out the answers.
c. The teacher got tired of my behavior.
d. I sat in the corner but kept on listening and reading.
