It was no wonder I was not looking forward to entering ninth grade. High school is well-known for being a battleground, where everyone seems to be  36  through physical changes, emotional mood swings, and low self-respect. For me,  37  was my punishment.
I had always felt insecure and out of 38 as one of the  39  members of my class, standing a head above the other girls and bending at the  40  of the line to avoid sticking  41 .
I especially hate being around large groups of people, like during the social hour after services at my church.  42  the prayers were finished, I would leave as quickly as possible so I could  43  other well-meaning congratulations, "Ruthie! Look how tall you' re getting!"
My grandfather would watch me  44  increasingly uncomfortable, but he did not  45  at my self--consciousness or try to comfort me.  46 , he would remind me. "Stand straight and tall," he would say, as I unsuccessfully tried to shrink (使缩小) myself. Moreover, each time, I would embarrassedly obey. Even at age 15, I understood that his advice was about  47  than just feet and inches.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers  48  his hometown, he wound up joining the Soviet army to fight  49  his country's freedom. "Stand straight, stand tall," meant something else back then.

All alone in a new country, he was  53  about his future. Still, he marched head-on into the streets of New York. Soon he met  54  European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith  55 . When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.

　　"Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad, 28   they don't know about this," said Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School。

　　"When their kids are 29  the house, they might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and 30   , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 31   .

　　But 37   fewer of those surveyed were aware of the  38   of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room 39  where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。

　　Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 40   , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke.

If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith  55 . When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.

　　On my first day of teaching, all my classes are going well. 1 a teacher was going to be something easy and sure, I decided. Then came Period 7, the last class of the day.

　　As I walked 2 the room, I heard furniture crash. Rounding the corner, I saw one boy pinning 3 to the floor. “Listen, you retard!” yelled the one on the bottom. “I don't 4 a damn about your sister!”

　　“You keep your hands 5 her, you hear me?” The boy on 6 threatened.

　　I drew 7 my short frame and asked them to stop 8 . Suddenly 14 pairs of eyes were fixed on my face. I knew I did not 9 convincing. Glaring at each other and me, the two boys slowly 10 their seats.

　　Some ten years ago, I was in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Smith gave a physics 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistakes through the test. There was nothing really new about cheating in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs Smith 4 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to remain after class.

　　I was one of the twelve. Mrs Smith asked 5 questions, and she didn't scold(责备) us 6 . Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the word “Honesty”. She then ordered us to 7 the word into our exercise-books one hundred times. I don't 8 about the other eleven boys. In my opinion. I can say it was the most important single 9 of my life.

　　Many years after being introduced to the word, it 10 seemed to me the best, because it gives us 11 to measure ourselves rather than others. 12 of us are asked to make 13 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 14 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 15 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 16 turned over to the policeman?
