That year， I was a Junior 2student． Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head． Almost everyone thought I was dead． But they were wrong． However， it was difficult to get back to normal （正常的） life． I had to leave school and learn everything， walking， talking， and yes， maths．

    To help me with that task， Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week． We began with basic maths skills， As time passed by， I made progress．

    I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays， sat with me at the kitchen table， and threw different coins on the table． She asked me to show her 38cents， 17cents， 63cents． It was challenging， but she also made it fun．

    After a year and a half， I had progressed a lot， both in body and mind， to return to school． Seven years later， I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class．

    As year went by， I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar． Unluckily， one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke（中风）．

    Now it was my turn to help her． Mrs． Pillar lay in bed， unable to speak and know anybody around． I pulled some coins out of my pocket， dropped them on her bed， and asked her to show me 12cents． The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her﹣just as she had worked with my years before． She make progress every day and was moved out of ICU（重症监护室） and finally out of hospital．

    One day， I called to wish her a happy New Year． She spoke into the phone excitedly， "Happy New Year to you and your family， Michael． Thank you for everything you've done for me．" I quickly said， "Thank you for everything you've done for me．"

After coming to America， the use of "yes" and "no" brings me a lot of trouble， because the use in Korean （韩语） is a different from that in English． For example， if I am asked， "Haven't you had dinner yet？" and I have not had dinner yet， then in Korean I usually say "Yes， I haven't．" But in English， I have to say， "No， I haven't．"

    Because of this， my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them． One day only a month after I came to America， I had dinner with an American student， Bob． He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely． A few days later， I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea． One day ，I stopped by Bob's room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information． "Oh， you told me that． Don't you remember？" he said， "When I asked you ，'You are not from North Korea，are you？'you clearly answered， 'Yes， of course．' Didn't it mean that you are from North Korea？"

    The different use also causes problems between my friends and me． One weekend night， my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm（宿舍）． They make some noise while playing． I did not mind the noise since I was just watching TV． The next morning， I met Mark． He asked me with a smile， "Didn't my children make noise last night？ Didn't it make you uncomfortable？" Because I did not mind the noise at all， I clearly said "Yes!" The smile suddenly disappear from Mark's face， and he said， "I am sorry about that． They are going right now． See you later．" I could not understand what he was sorry about， and I just said， "OK． Bye!" After a moment of thinking， I realized how stupid I was． That evening， I explained to Mark and said sorry to him． I knew he thought that I had been very rude．

    Now to deal with this problem， I have set simple rules： First， take a five﹣second break if I am not sure of "yes" or "no"， Second， use "pardon me"， so the person may explain to me in a direct way．

（1）From the passage， we can infer （推断） that the writer comes from　　．

A． North Korea

B． America

C． South Korea

D． China

（2）In Paragraph 3， when the writer answered "Yes"，Mark might think the writer was　　．

A． rude

B． kind

C． helpful

D． polite

（3）The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to （指的是）　　．

A． "yes"

B． the noise

C． watching TV

D． the smile

（4）If the writer is not sure of "yes" or "no" next time， he will say　　．

A． " pardon me"

B． "yes"

C． "no"

D． "I don't know"

（5）The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us　　．

A． to work hard on English

B． to learn to respect others

C． never to use "yes" or "no"

D． to know culture differences

Giving a speech in front of your class can be challenging． However， you can do something to make it success． First of all， you need to do something about your topic． For example， choose a topic about something you like， such as something that interests you or someone who is close to you． Once you've chosen your topic， try to find useful information about it online or from the library． As you do this， write down the information that supports your ideas in a valuable way．

   Rehearsing（排练） your speech is also important． For this， you'd better write the script （讲稿） just like talking to your friends． Keep your script simple． Use interesting examples or stories to show your ideas． Once you finish your script， read it out loud to yourself and remember it． After that， write down 2to 3points that you may forget on a note card． Finally， you have to practice your speech in front of something or someone until you don't have to look at your note card．

   In the end， it's time to give the speech． At this time， stand straight and hold your head high． This will show that you're confident． Show your listeners that you're excited by smiling before you begin and throughout the speech． Pause（停顿） after finishing a sentence， or after saying an important point． It will allow you time to collect your thoughts．

   If you're out of breath while speaking or if your words start running together， you're most probably speaking too fast． If this happens， take a breath and slow down． While talking， look at your listeners， like friends． What's more， if you don't remember the next word or line， pause for one or two seconds to look at your note card． Before you begin speaking， take a deep breath， smile at your listeners， and then go on．
