1 . One Bite at a Time

Stephen was on campus to register when I first met him.

One summer day _______ I was heading for the administration building, I heard someone call my name. I _______ around and saw Philip, one of my colleagues standing with another young man. As Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen, he reminded him that he would be taking one of my _______, Introduction to Literature. With a somewhat _______ expression, Stephen asked if my class was going to be “hard”. Would he be able to pass? I _______ he was concerned about failing before the _______ day of classes. We talked about what the class would _______ and I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with _______.

Then I remembered a bit of classical dialog:

Question: “How do you eat an elephant?”

Answer: “One bite at a time.”

I told him to _______ his work that way. To do his assignment, all of them, and to get them in on time. I added that most ________ students I knew made a timetable of all the assignment so they could ________ their workload.

As time went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had ________ in middle school. It had taken him longer to finish than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a ________. Now, in the face of their negative-saying he had been admitted into college. He told me that before coming to our campus no one had believed he had much ________.

Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. He didn’t make any honor rolls. Still, he managed to ________ most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignment on time and breaking down his studying into ________ digestible parts. By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self-respect. He was a great singer and he was ________ the school’s cross-country team.

Every time I saw him on campus, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” Whenever he introduced me to his friends, he would tell them that he was ________ when he was supposed to be failing. His ________, he said, was that he was ________ what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”

10 . In high school I had a math teacher, Mrs. Davies, who took her job seriously and expected her students to put forth the same degree of commitment (付出). Strict but fair, she held our attention with her great method. One of her ______ was for students who were more advanced academically. I chose to ______ it and soon realized that the course was a bit over my head. I ____ with the complex problems that others seemed to learn without much effort.

One Friday we were tested ______ our ability to use a theorem (定理) that no one in the class thoroughly understood. The teacher would ______ 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 ______. Finally, I didn't use the required theorem. Instead, I decided to use more familiar theorems to arrive at an ______. I knew I had failed because I hadn't done the ______ assignment. I became resigned (顺从) to my fate.

Our test papers were ______ back the following Monday. Everyone received a "C" except for me. To my surprise, I received an "A". I ______ that there must be a mistake. I watched ______ as the teacher approached my desk, smiled, and asked for my test ______ back. She then went back to copy my work onto the blackboard, ______ 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. ______ I didn't use the required theorem, she seemed really proud of how I'd worked through the problem. The class saw her fold my test paper and put it into her textbook. She announced that it would be ______ with future classes.

My teacher would have been justified (合理的) in giving me a ______ grade. Instead, she used the ______ to deeply influence a student who often struggled. And after forty years, I still cherish the ______. It helped change my self-image. I ______ up to a broad boundary of possibilities which has made my life an adventure. She understood that teaching went beyond strict demands and could be used to ______ Thank you, Mrs. Davies.
