Ranjitha was a good but poor student. Because she was 1 , she couldn't buy books to 2 to. The university library had a good 3 of reference books but they were not offered to the students. The books in the reference section were only 4 to the teachers.
Occasionally she wondered why the 5 didn't hand out the books to the students. She 6 herself that when she became a teacher, she would provide the students with all she as a student had 7 , like reference books. And the day came in no time.
Soon after getting her master's degree, Ranjitha entered a(n) 8 as a lecturer. Quickly she won the hearts of most students as she would 9 the students after class.There were too many students and it was 10 for her to remember all of them.
One day, two students came to Ranjtha 11 her to borrow three reference books. She agreed and 12 lent them the books. The 13 term would pass soon and she almost forgot about the books. At the end of the term, the director of the university called her,“Madam, we have instructions that all the books should be returned to the 14 . ”
Ranjitha tried hard to 15 the students who had borrowed the books but her 16 didn't help. So she 17 to go to the classroom and ask. However, to her disappointment, none of the students 18 . At last, Ranjitha borrowed money and paid it to the library.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my 1 . Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a(n) 2 student; I talked too much; I was too 3 , always feeling superior to(胜过) others, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. 4 , I became very angry. I ran to my father with 5 in my eyes.
He 6 to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever 7 what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s 8 . Go and 9 a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 10 . Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did 11 he told me. To my great 12 , I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t 13 (like being very thin), but a good number I could, and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 14 picture of myself.
I brought the list back to daddy. He 15 to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know 16 than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 17 , not just close your ears in 18 , feeling hurt when something said about you is true. You’ll find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your affairs. Don’t 19 your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has always 20 me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

After 4 shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the 5 answer, and went on saying, “You have just 6 an important lesson about science. That is: Never 7 your own senses.”

The professor, however, said that it was 17 .

I 20 the course that afternoon, and I haven't gone near science since.”
