Somehow, my university seemed to hope a weekend spent with experienced professors would ____ for that. My colleagues presented wellcrafted lectures about the tools they used. I enjoyed their ___， but do not remember a thing they said.
At a coffee break during the lectures, finding myself ____， I turned to a mathematics professor standing nearby.

So when I've said____ that I want my students to think about, I would____ and take a sip of coffee. It lets what I've just said sink in.”
When we were called to the next talk, he put down his cup and I ____ there was not a trace of coffee in it. “My doctor ____ me to stop drinking coffee，” he explained. “So I have always used a(n)____ cup.” I decided to try his ____ in my class.
I took a cup of coffee with me to my next class. It helped. My pauses, as I ____ the coffee, not only gave my students ____ to think about what I had said, but gave me time to think about what I was going to say next. I began to use my ____ to look around the room to see how my students were reacting to what I had just said. When I saw their ____ wander, I tried to bring them back.
