Fill in the blanks.In high school I had a math teacher, Mrs. Davies, who took her job seriously and expected her students to get down to the study. Strict but fair, she held our attention with her time-tested approach. One of her classes was for students who were more advanced academically. I chose to take it and soon realized that the course was a bit over my head. I 38 with the complex problems that others seemed to learn without much effort.One Friday we were tested on our ability to use a theorem（定理）that no one in the class thoroughly understood. The teacher would grade our papers based on our ability to progress through the problem which easily filled two pages of formulaic notations（公式符号）. I was absolutely 41 . Finally, I didnt use the required theorem. Instead, I decided to use more familiar theorems to arrive at an answer. I knew I had failed because I hadnt done the required assignment. Our test papers were handed back the following Monday. Everyone received a “C” except for me. To my surprise, I received an “A”. I 45 that there must be a mistake. I watched 46 as the teacher approached my desk, smiled, and asked for my test paper back. She then went back to copy my work onto the blackboard, showing the class how I had arrived at the correct answer.“Mathematics is meant to be a creative tool, pushing our minds to a rewarding answer,” she said with confidence. Though I didnt use the required theorem, she seemed genuinely proud of how Id worked through the problem. The class saw her fold my test paper and put it into her textbook. She announced that it would be shared with future classes.My teacher would have been justified in giving me a 51 grade. Instead, she used the 52 to deeply influence a student who often struggled. And after forty years, I still cherish the memory. It helped change my self-image. I 54 up to a broad boundary of possibilities which has made my life an adventure.
