Waiting eagerly for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by the window. Just then, a flight stewardess me and asked, “Would you mind your seat with the woman over there？They are a couple and would like to sit together.” The only other seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts(石膏), a blackandblue face, and a depressed emotion.“ am I going to sit there.” was my immediate . But then a deeper, quieter voice spoke, “Opportunity.” Eventually I took my new seat and after a short conversation, I that Kathy had been in a car crash, and she was on her way for .

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!
