When I began working at Hillcrest High School three years ago, I was introduced to Sharon Dunn, the school's headmistress.

    Her smart appearance and warm, friendly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (表情) made me like her at once. She is a small-boned, smiling {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (女士) in her early fifties. She has shining blue eyes and soft {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (银灰色的) hair. Although she dresses simply, she always manages to look nice.

    She is a very fair-minded person who {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (对待) everyone at the school in the same way. Even when she is upset, she is actually very calm, which is shown by her ability to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (克制) her feelings in the most difficult situations. Her quiet voice and gentle, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (有礼貌的) manner make her popular with the children.

    Ms. Dunn has no children of her {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (自己的), however, she says that she feels like a mother to all of the children in her school. In fact, she has no time for family life, since she gives her life to her job completely. Besides dealing with different leading {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (任务) every day, she always takes time to talk to the teachers and parents {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (耐心地).

    To my mind, Sharon Dunn is an educational {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (专家) who is a wonderful role model, not only for the children but for the teachers, as well.
