Labor leaders make {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(speech) and hold news conferences (新闻发布会). It is considered {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) the end of summer.

    A teacher has a great {#blank#}1{#/blank#}on students. A good teacher can help students achieve success. But do you know how to be a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(help) teacher? Here are some tips:

    Help develop students' interests

    First, make the lessons interesting so that they are not {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(easy) forgotten. Second, offer students lots of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(chance) to practice what they learn. Third, try to be kind and patient with students.

    Criticize(批评) less

    Some teachers criticize students for making {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(mistake). When students give  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}Answers to your questions, don't criticize them.  Sometimes, a little praise is more useful.

    Encourage more

    It{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(seem) that some students just can't learn a certain subject well. After a few {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(try), they want to give up the subject. When teachers notice that, they should look for all useful ways of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (encourage) students. No matter what you do, always remember to cheer them up when they are in difficulties.

    If you put your {#blank#}10{#/blank#}into your teaching, you will be a successful teacher.

    About ten years ago when I was at university, I worked at my university's museum. One day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I was working in the gift shop, I saw two old people come {#blank#}2{#/blank#} with a little girl in a wheelchair (轮椅).

    As I looked closer {#blank#}3{#/blank#} this girl, I realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wear) a little white dress. When the old people pushed her up to me, I was looking down at the desk. I turned my head and gave {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (she) a smile. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (happy) smile I had ever seen.

    Just at that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} , her physical handicap (生理缺陷) was gone. All I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just impressed me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} almost gave me a completely new idea of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy university student and brought me into her world, a world of smiles and love.

    That was ten years ago. I'm a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (success) business person now and whenever I feel frustrated and think about the trouble of the world, I will think of that little girl and the unusual lesson about life that she {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (teach) me.
