Dad is a reserved man of few words but is always strict. What’s more, he is quite different from others in ideas and : beating or bringing to account his son in the presence of neighbors as he strongly believes in such a : a dutiful son is the of the rod, which is deeply impressed in his mind from his father. So I was emotionally upset and in spite of just a 10-year-old kid, who thought, “I was randomly beaten, so I would bring blows on other smaller kids”. And Dad would deal me a heavier the next time.
It that I completely lost control of this blow and found it impossible for me to on my lessons as I came to blows with other kids all day long. Everything went from bad to worse for me so much I couldn’t write out the English alphabet, could I do arithmetic (算术). , I was sent into a reformatory school(劳教所) where I stayed guilty for two and a half years. This time Dad shed bitter tears, saying, “Son, it is not that I don’t love you but that I should not have been so angry at your failure to my expectations!”
Retiring from the army, he gave me 10,000 US dollars for a trip around the world. getting back from this trip, he said to me, “Book knowledge is valuable but he who travels far and wide should know better at the time of your life. I guess you are now fully prepared to get started for work.” At 26, I started up Runhua Machinery Co., Ltd., which was later poorly and went bankrupt(破产); it was not long I started to engage in a dye-stuff plant which happened to be blown up. At all these, my father only gave me such words, “I will congratulate you on your god-given setbacks and failures, which will help you make mistakes in life.”
The Ph.D. graduation ceremony was grandly started and my parents were invited to . Dad didn’t say a single word me but cried bitterly again this time, and at this very moment, my mind was in a state of emotions and I stood on the stage with warm tears in my eyes.

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.
