I arrived 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 my ability 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．

Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a serious look. “Yes,” he said, “there is a serious injury in the left lung…” I listened, too 21 to speak, as he continued, “You’ll have to 22 work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no definite promise of recovery.
Feeling like a man who has suddenly been placed under 23 of death. In the next three days, I   24 my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes,   25 the months. Two and a half years and many crashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long 26 back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so 27 taught me what to believe and what to 28 . They said to me: Take time,   29 time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster（牡蛎）to be opened but my opportunity to be 30 . To me, each day is such a   31 gift. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to 32 .
I’ve learned to 33 those little but all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on 34 water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered 35   of childhood. I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was like 36 one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost.   37 ,I sit back and say to myself, let me make a   38 of this moment I’m living right now. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the deadlines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness 39 having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m   40 now, a little, and happier.
