I had a student today who got his finger stuck inside a test tube in science class. It was really quite stuck. This young man’s finger ___________ to get whiter and whiter right before my eyes.

Remaining ___________, I suggested he carefully rotate(转动) the tube. It wouldn’t move a bit. He ___________ soap and cold water. Still stuck. Meanwhile ___________ was breaking out in the class. Finally, I ___________ the young man to our secretary, who was a miracle(奇迹) worker ___________ three kids of her own. With her in charge, I was ___________ all would be OK.

To get the students back in order, I ___________ my own story of getting my ___________stuck between the rails of a balcony. Same kind of curiosity, I remembered ____________ then how far I could thrust(塞) my knee between the rails. Inch by inch, I kept ____________ and before I knew it, my knee was stuck and ____________ before my eyes and in front of lots of ____________ at a popular Las Vegas hotel!

Hearing my story, many students followed with their own ____________ of heads, arms, fingers stuck in places they shouldn’t ____________. A few minutes later, the young man came back, test tube unbroken and finger ____________ to lovely shade of pink.

I just couldn’t ____________ this kid. He’s only twelve. I too got my knee unstuck, but not without great ____________. The excuse for me, however, was not ____________ but plain stupidity. I was ____________ fifty years old when this happened.
