Several years ago, my family gathered on Cape Cod for a weekend. My parents were there, my sister and her daughter too, two cousins and, of course, my wife, my son and me. We ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard held by a friendly waiter and had a wonderful time. With dinner concluded, the waiter set the check down in the middle of the table. That"s when it happened. My father did not reach for the check. In fact, my father did nothing. Conversation continued. Finally it dawned on me. Me! I was supposed to pick up the check. After all these years, after hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with the dollars, it had all changed. I reached for the check and pulled out my American Express card. My view of myself was suddenly changed. With a stroke of the pen, I was suddenly an adult. Some people mark off their life in years, others in events. I am one of the latter, and I think of some events as rites of passage. I did not become a young man at a particular year like 13, but when a kid strolled into the store where I worked and called me "mister", I turned around to see whom he was calling. He repeated it several times-"mister, mister"-looking straight at me. The realization hit like a punch: Me! He was talking to me. I was suddenly a mister. | ||||

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career (职业). I wasn"t an excellent student because I didn"t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn"t have much to offer. I just accepted that l wasn"t the type to have a career. I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn"t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she"d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn"t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children. One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested me that I should do a course and meet a qualification if I wanted to work with children I didn"t think I would be accepted because I didn"t take many exams in school.

I had to leave my job with the family and got work helping out at a kindergarten. Now I"ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren"t top of the class at school. | ||||

It was an exciting day as I first entered the classroom for my first lesson in the USA. My heart was beating very hard when the professor asked everyone to introduce themselves. I was very anxious and did not hear anyone else"s introduction. I buried myself in what I was going to say. Classes went on and I noticed my American classmates were very active in class. My unwillingness to speak during class started to worry me when I realized that I was ignored in class. But I did not give up. One simple way I broke down this fear of speaking was to arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier at the classroom. It gave me time to _____ class discussions. The person whom I feared most was the professor. So I found every chance to speak with him before and after class. When I did not have the chance to talk with the professor in class, I wrote an e-mail or made a date with him outside the class with questions I had. These were very effective ways to help me speak freely in class! Since the chance of expressing myself in class was limited, I finished all of my reading and written tasks before class. One time, the professor asked a question about the reading homework. The whole class was silent and I suddenly raised my hand and answered it perfectly! That moment I set the world on fire. Once I started participating in class, I realized how valuable it was. Class discussion was the best way to learn and memorize things. It also made class a living and enjoyable experience. Participating in class is also like climbing a ladder. I often prepared very simple questions to use at the beginning of class. Once I started to speak, it was easier to speak up more. Classroom is the place to learn, so no one would consider you as a fool even if you put forward simple questions in class. | ||||

My husband hasn"t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn"t at that time. Last Friday, after 1 all family shopping in town, I wanted a rest 2 catching the train, so I bought a piece of newspaper and some chocolate and went into the 3 coffee shop-that cheap, self-service place with long tables to 4 . I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep 5 , and went to get a cup of coffee. When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in 6 . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, 7 dark glasses and torn 8 , and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What 9 surprise me was that he had started to eat my chocolate. Naturally, I was annoyed. 10 , to avoid trouble-and really I was rather 11 about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took 12 piece of my chocolate. I could 13 believe it. Still I didn"t dare to 14 an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more 15 than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece." And I got it. The boy 16 me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This 17 is crazy." Everyone stared. That was embarrassing (令人难堪的) enough, but it was 18 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red-as red as 19 -when I realized I"d made a mistake. It wasn"t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just 20 my newspaper. | ||||
