For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of        that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't        .Somebody had thought        of me to bring me a gift. Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my        . Christmas there special and memorable, I       _ remembered the woman’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of        for as many children as I could possibly.
So I        a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿)at the Christmas party. For every child,we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys,clothes,and school supplies,       with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were        .Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,I        them that they couldn't open their presents        every child had come forward. Finally the        they had been waiting for came as I called out,“One,two,three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages,their faces beamed and their bright smiles       up the room. The        in the room was obvious,and   wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling —the feeling I knew         that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

For several years, we lived at the end of a long Texas country road. Every evening when I was away from home on business, my little boy would ask permission of his mother to take his black       and his daddy’s walking stick, to make the half-mile       from the house to the fence which       the beginning of the dirty driveway.
One day, I was busy with my business and was       for about an hour, completely forgetting about the       little boy down the road who might be       for his daddy.
On my way home, the rain was so thick that I could not       ten feet in front of me. All I could       was finishing my journey and getting out of the rain.       , the downpour began to abate(减弱). It was only a drizzle(细雨) by the time my car turned the last       and approached the final street between me and a warm home and nice meal.
     , I caught sight of my little boy, who was       an umbrella in one hand, a walking stick in the other, and was wearing the biggest and most beautiful smile ever to lighten the       of a little boy.
As I stopped the car and       the door, he ran into my arms and held me long and hard. He was wet and       with cold, but he never      the rain, nor the hour-long wait. He simply said, “Daddy, I missed you. I am so glad you are home.”
Last year, we       to a wonderful new home provided for a special season in our lives. We no longer have a long country road.       , I have never forgotten the rainy day and the little boy and his black dog. Often, perhaps a thousand times, that       has occurred in my mind.     all events in our lives, it happens once, and must be treasured.

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in     for seventeen years, I had no    about my ability to hold their attention and toimpress on them my    for the literature of my mother tongue.
As I entered the room, I was     when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat    about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly     my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps    their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
I asked my students to keep     as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually    by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.    her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a     theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical    for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How    they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it    became clear that my ideas about     were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise    questions and provide enough background so that students could    their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide    information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
   , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a    American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
