(2020届重庆市高三调研)
Christin Gilmer was once an excellent student in the sixthgrade classroom of Judith Toensing. At the end of the year, Toensing included an extraordinary message on Gilmer's report card 1 ， “It has been a joy to have you in class. Keep up the good work, and invite me to your Harvard 2 ．”
“She just had the passion (激情) to go 3 and make a difference. And I just wanted to set the 4 and set the bar high，” said Toensing.
Gilmer 5 that message for the next twenty years. After receiving her undergraduate degree, Gilmer 6 made her way to Harvard.
“I had always had a(n) 7 of it and carried it with me，” Gilmer said about the 8 . “Anytime I was having anxiety or 9 with some cruel injustices in the world, or even just kind of doubting myself, it helps me to remember her 10 ．”
After overcoming so many difficulties, and finally 11 it to graduation, Gilmer knew who she needed to 12 ．
Gilmer recently traveled back to her hometown of Yuma, Arizona to pay a(n) 13 visit to her favorite teacher and deliver the invitation in person.
“I would have been there, with no difficulty，” said Toensing. “I would have grown feathers to get there.”
That wouldn't be 14 ， because the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health paid for her airfare to Boston. When it was time for Gilmer to graduate, her teacher from over two decades ago watched her walk across the 15 and accept her doctorate in public health.
Harvard Dean Michelle Williams even offered a 16 thank you to Toensing in her speech.
“I can't think of a better way to pay respect or show 17 to Judith Toensing. She 18 me so much，” said Gilmer.
“As a teacher, it's the perfect example of everything we try to 19 in the classroom，” said Toensing, who couldn't be prouder of her 20 student.
