完形填空（共15分，每小题1分） During college, I took a history class to fulfill a requirement. The professor was a 32 fellow with red hair. He would walk 33 into the room wearing his winter coat, once not even 34 the hat during the lecture. He could not feel free in class and controlled the 35 just by looking through his glasses at his students. So I 36 a little game for myself. I would try to find something in his lecture to ask him an intelligent question about, 37 me to pay attention. He was obviously pleased to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always 38 . I continued to do this every day and found myself actually enjoying the material. The professor seemed to become more 39 and some of the other students even 40 from time to time. My little game had saved me from being bored, as it was designed to do. And, I learned quite a bit about ancient world history. In spite of his strange 41 , he was indeed quite an expert in his field. On the last day of the class we gathered our 42 and headed for the door. The shy, red-haired professor stepped directly in front of me, 43 I reached the door, and put his hand out. He said, “I want to thank you for making my classes so interesting,” as he shook my hand warmly and 44 for the first time. I was so 45 . To me, it had been a pleasant way to pass the time. I had no idea that all of my questions asked in class had any effect on him or the others at all. Each of us, through the things we say and do, and the kindness we can freely 46, can have a great effect not just on our own experiences, but on those of others.
