（2023河北石家庄·高二校联考期末）During the corona-virus lockdown, a fifth-grade teacher contacted me asking for help. She was ___166___with students not attending online class but her students all loved the story in my book. So she asked if I had any ___167___.
My immediate ___168___ was for me to do a ___169___ book club where I would read to the students. The idea was ___170___ by Mrs. Sandberg, my first teacher in America.
When I moved to America from Iran in 1972, I spoke seven words of English. Despite the language ___171___, I immediately loved school. My favorite part of the day was ___172___ lunch, when Mrs. Sandberg read to us. Her kind voice transported me to ___173___ places where animals could talk and where kids had grand adventures.
With this joyful memory, I started the club. At the first session, five kids ___174___. I read to them and tried to ____175____ a conversation. Whenever I asked a question, I was met with complete ____176____. The following week, a few more kids came; they ____177____ started responding, but with one-word answers. The next session, they gave ____178____ answers and more students participated in the conversations.
This club has quickly become the ____179____ of my week. I have gotten to know the students and grown fond of every single one of them.
