It was a hand-drawn 24 of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth．I managed to fold it up calmly．My mind, 25 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 26 .

This was a lesson for both the kids and me．Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 40 . 小题1: A．note B．advice C．reason D．help 小题2: A．battle B．competition C．argument D．conversation 小题3: A．took B．thought C．turned D．handed 小题4: A．statue B．graph C．picture D．poster 小题5: A．otherwise B．however C．therefore D．besides 小题6: A．leave B．cry C．explain D．argue 小题7: A．good B．harm C．favor D．punishment 小题8: A．amused B．controlled C．uninterested D．relaxed 小题9: A．meaningful B．forgetful C．regretful D．hurtful 小题10: A．aside B．above C．beneath D．behind 小题11: A．wrote B．finished C．read D．collected 小题12: A．proud B．fond C．afraid D．ashamed 小题13: A．figured B．promised C．concluded D．confirmed 小题14: A．talkative B．mean C．clumsy D．considerate 小题15: A．forcing B．encouraging C．comforting D．teaching 小题16: A．appreciate B．apologize C．compromise D．achieve 小题17: A．actually B．normally C．immediately D．generally 小题18: A．decorated B．offered C．signed D．bought 小题19: A．thankfulness B．forgiveness C．compensation D．communication 小题20: A．friendship B．education C．knowledge D．future
