10年前，退休的外交官夫妇朱敏才、孙丽娜并没有选择在北京的安逸生活，而是把光鲜靓丽的西装和礼服留在北京，背上简单的行囊，来到贵州偏远山区义务支教。尽管做好了吃苦的准备，但条件之艰苦还是超出了他们的预料：他们的卧室跟男厕所共用一面墙，夏天臭气熏天；高原强烈的紫外线照射让孙丽娜的右眼全部失明，左眼视力只剩下0.03；山区湿冷的气候又让朱敏才得上了风湿病。这些年，夫妇俩行程上万公里，支教了5所乡村小学，不仅为学校新开设了外语、音乐、体育、美术等课程，还募集善款350多万元，为孩子们建了电脑教室和学生食堂。偏远的山寨因为他们的出现而看到了希望。

外交官夫妇为什么感动你我？

    I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (terrible) shy I was with so many eyes {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fix) upon me. I had no {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory— for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Otherwise, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(run) away from them. Gradually I found myself back, delivering my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding— I made {#blank#}7{#/blank#}! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(confident) building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way {#blank#}9{#/blank#} success is our fear. Overcome it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we will be able to achieve our goals.
