Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city.There was another building not far from mine. A woman lived there. I had never met her, but I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) or reading.

After several months, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "What a lazy woman! I wonder why she doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."

One bright morning, I decided to clean my flat, including the windows. I worked the whole mornning.When I finally finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of cofee for a rest. What a surprise! Everything in the woman's flat could be seen clearly. Her window was clean!

I began to understand. I watched the woman's window from my own dirty window. That's the problem.

That's quite an  important lesson for me. How often do I look at and criticize others through the dirty window of my heart?

From then on, whenever I want to  judge someone, I ask myself first, "Am I looking at him through my dirty window?"  Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see others' world more clearly.

  Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications(误解) were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".

On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks. The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her:  She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".

Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.

Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing~ He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".

    School is very important for people to get knowledge. Many people go to      36     for education. The aim of students is to study better. But to study needs a right way, or you will     37     your time or money. Here is the advice about study.

School education is very important and useful, but no one can learn everything from school . A teacher, no matter   38     he knows, can't teach his students everything. His work is    39     his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school   40      the students themselves.

It's always    41     to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas(公式) by heart. It is quite    42     to learn some facts in history or a formula in math, but it is very difficult to use a formula to work out a math problem. Three great scientists: Newton, Edison and Einstein, didn't get everything from school. But they were all    43     . The reason for their success is that they know how to study. They learnt many knowledge by    44    . They  worked hard all their lives. The most important thing is that they know how to use their brains.
