Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted. First, the teachers personality should be_1_and attractive. This does not _2_people who are physically plain, or even ugly, because many such have great personal charm. But it does rule out such types as the over-excitable, melancholy, frigid, sarcastic, cynical, frustrated, and overbearing. I would say too, that it excludes all of dull or purely_3_ personality. I still stick to _4__I said in my earlier book: school children probably suffer more bores than brutes. Secondly, it is not merely desirable, but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy—in the _ 5_ meaning of that word, a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, _6_ the minds and feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant, not__7_ what is wrong, but of frailty and immaturity of human nature which induce people and again especially children, to make mistakes. Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean__8__ a saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and __9_ and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life should be guided. There is no _10_ in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor. That is part of the technique of teaching. A) limitations I) sad B) rule out J) what C) deep K)to D) include L) range E) positive M) literal F) being N)of G)
