Passage 2: Questions 31-40     What’s the most transformative educational experience you’ve had? I was asked this questionrecently, and for a few seconds it __(31)__ me, mainly because I’ve never viewed learning as acollection of eureka moments. It’s a continuum, a lifelong awakening to the complexity of theworld.     But then something did __(32)__ mind, not a discrete lesson but a moving image, complete__(33)__ soundtrack. I saw a woman named Anne Hall swooning and swaying as she stood at thefront of a classroom in Chapel Hill, N.C., and explained the rawness and majesty of emotion inKing Lear. I heard three words: “Stay a little.” They’re Lear’s plea to Cordelia, the truest of histhree daughters, as she slips away. When Hall recited them aloud, it wasn’t just her voice __(34)__trembled. It was all of her.“Stay a little.    ” She showed how that simple request harbored such grand anguish, __(35)__ afallen king’s hunger for connection and his tenuous hold __(36)__ sanity and contentment. Andthus she taught us how much weight a few __(37)__ can carry, how powerful the muscle oflanguage can be.She demonstrated the rewards of close attention. And the way she did this—her eyes wild withfervor, her body aquiver with delight—was an encouragement of __(38)__ and a validation of thepleasure to be wrung from art. It informed all my reading __(39)__. It colored the way I listened topeople and even watched TV.     It transformed me. Was this a luxury? Sure. But it was also the steppingstone to a more aware,thoughtful existence. College was the quarry __(40)__ I found it.(Excerpt from Frank Bruni, “College’s Priceless Value: Higher Education, Liberal Arts andShakespeare,” 11 Feb. 2015, The New York Times)
