2 . My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms, but I wasn't there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.

I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn't read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn't happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.

Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. "Do I know you?" he asked. "Yes, sir, you do know me," I answered excitedly." My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English." The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he'd once encouraged.

"I'm so glad I had a chance to see you," I said. "And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share." I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn't all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. "The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well," I added.

The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia（诵读困难症）. But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.

3 . Pausing uncertainly was not the way of the world of Mr. Matthews. This red-haired, red-bearded, red-faced man beckoned (召唤) _______ to me to enter. I walked _______ to a seat, and in three minutes of observation was _______ that I had never known an adult like him. He laughed from his belly, moved his ears on request (一经请求), and his face then turned even _______. His students loved him; it was _______ from the way they greeted him to the way they relaxed _______ they entered his room.

_______, I was not relaxed. I was uninterested in writing. My only _______ writing experience had been in cloth-covered books with more room for illustrations (插画) than print. I _______ what to expect from a class __________ was just called “Writing”, but I was certain I wasn’t going to like it.

Yet Mr. Matthews spent that first class __________ us. He told stories, jokes, and then dismissed us early for a rest. Our __________ to write about the best part of summer seemed almost an afterthought for him.

However, I was seized by an inexplicable (莫名其妙的) __________ to do my homework. It wasn’t __________ specific he had said in class that day, but the way he had acted. I wanted this man to like and __________ of me, and the quickest way to __________ this was through my writing.

That night, despite having dealt with a word processor all of twice in my life, I wrote with passion (热情). Proudly __________ the next morning, I was sure it was the best thing I’d ever written. For the rest of the year, this one-man audience __________ me to improve constantly.
