Ⅴ. (2026·南京竹山中学阶段检测)阅读理解

①I don't know what first made me interested in becoming a teacher. It is just something I had always wanted to do. When I was 5 years old, I wanted to become a teacher. I used to take all my toys, line them up and teach them. I had a whiteboard that I would write on.
②When I was in high school, I was lucky to join in a teaching activity. During this, we worked with the students in Grade 9 and helped them prepare for high school. Besides, we helped them with homework if they needed it, and taught them how to deal with hard situations. To them, we were teachers. It was a special experience(经历) in my life, and I'd never forget the feeling I got when one student of mine who was shy broke out of her comfort zone(舒适区). The next two years when I saw her in school, she'd always smile and say hello. This made me feel great because I felt like $\underline{\mathrm{I had made a difference}}$.
③At the same time, this experience also helped me a lot. I broke out of my comfort zone because I was now the teacher. Being put in a situation like this pushed me to be more outgoing and patient. Working with them still helped me to better myself and improve my teaching skills.
④Teaching is something that I have always wanted to do, and I know that I always will. The joy of helping people and knowing that I have made a difference in someone's life will make everything worthwhile(有价值的) to me.
