During my last year of junior high school, our teacher, Mrs Debby, gave us a ____1___. I was a hard-working student and I did well in all subjects. I was ____2_____ that I had nailed this test and breezed through (輕松答完) the questions ___3____ I read the last one: ‘What is the ___4____ name of the woman who cleans the school?’

I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never ___7____ thought about talking to her. I looked at my paper and started to feel rather ___8____. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last one____9___.

Before the quiz (隨堂測驗(yàn)) ended, one student asked if the last question would be ___10___ in our grades. “Of course,” the teacher said, “In your life, you will meet many people. They are all ____11___. They deserve (理應(yīng)得到) your attention and care, even if all you do is to____12___ and say hello.”

I’ve never___13____ that lesson. Everyone deserves my ___14_____ and I should get to know all of the people ___15____ work and live around me. That is, perhaps, the most important lesson of my life. I also later learned that the cleaning woman’s first name was Hannah.
