At school I was continuously 3 with lectures, because I had already done 4 .And 5 my knowledge increased, so did my arrogance (傲慢). I started getting into6 debates with my teachers. I knew more than them, and I was eager to show it at every7 I got. That was until Mrs T 8 . She was new to our school, and a perfect 9 for me. I tried one of my tricks on her in front of the whole class. She didn't scold me.

We both know that is 14 . I know for a fact that you know much more than me. And I won't insult you by pretending otherwise. But remember this. Knowledge is supposed to give you 15 , not pride. Today you are the smartest person in the room; tomorrow you won't be. There will always be someone much 16 , much more diligent than you. And when that happens, all the pride in the world wouldn't be enough to 17 you from downfall. Everything that you have learnt will be for nothing if you don't learn the 18 of humility."Today, I 19 remember her words. I 20 myself of them daily.1. A. free B. short C. good D. long2.
