I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new   41  , and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting.    42    he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his   43    . So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely   44    for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech.   45    me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he  46    me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had   47    spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the  48   I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left. I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour,   49   what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without    50    knowing it? What I finally came to    51    was one day, several months before, when some students were     52    reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke    53    , and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the    54    one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the    55    of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,   56  more, and became happy. And it was all because he   57  to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed    58    was the one who took the last seat that day. It taught me the most    59   lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came    60    and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference. 41.
