Iarrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in 26 for 17 years, I had no 27 about myability to hold their attention and to 28 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 29 !”
The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 30 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 31 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect ---perhaps 32 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.
My students 33 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 34 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 35 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 36 theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 37 for all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How 38 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it 39 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 40 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 41 questions and provide enough background so that students could 42 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 43 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
44 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 45 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

“Are you too stupid to do anything right?” These words — said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son — were spoken 26 he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his eyes downcast.
Not a 27 moment, perhaps, 28 small moments last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean 29 at the time to the people who say them — can have great 30 .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional 31 . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 32 . He had few 33 and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment . The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would 34 the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 35 . Today he can not recall anything 36 about the chapter he wrote, or what 37 Mrs Brach gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs Brach wrote in margin（空白）of the paper: “This is 38 writing.”
Four words. They 39 his life.
“ 40 I read those words, I had no ideal of who I was or 41 I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 42 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs Brach to evaluate. She was 43 , tough and honest. “She was just what I 44 ,” Dalkoff said.
His confidence 45 . Dalkoff believed that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of the paper.

The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a 25 : We will hide his shoes, and 26 ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his 27when he cannot find them.”
“ My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 28 ourselves at the 29 of the poor. But you are 30 , and may give yourself a much greater 31 by means of the poor man.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning on June 9, 2003 when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 21 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n) 22 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 23 .
The doctor described the 24 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 25 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much petrol. The flames 26 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
27 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and 28 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 29 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he 30 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 31 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 32 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 33 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 34 this wisdom on to my son. He kept my advice in 35 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars didn’t 36 , so he made the 37 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe 38 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 39 standards. Put your imperfections(缺点；瑕疵) out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 40 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
