I can still remember it as it was yesterday. I was a college freshman and had _______ up most of the night, laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first _______ of the day, my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a _______.

BOOM! I lifted my head suddenly and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my _______ beating wildly trying to find the cause of the ________. My young professor was looking back at me with a boyish smile on his face. He had ________ dropped the textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning!”, he said, still ________. “I am glad to see everyone is _______. Now let’s get started.”
For the next hour I wasn’t sleepy at all. It wasn’t from the _______ of my professor’s textbook alarm clock either. It was instead from the _______ discussion he led. With knowledge and good _______ he made the material come _______. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving-kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that he _______ with were contagious(富有感染力的).

I learned something far more important than not _______ in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it with _______.
