In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!
The assignment (任务) was to “go to someone you love 36 the next week and tell them you love them.It 37 to be someone you have never 38 those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn’t 39 like a very tough assignment, 40 you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were 41 in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done 42 this was a very threatening assignment for some.
At the 43 of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to 44 what happened when they told someone they loved them.I fully expected one of the 45 to volunteer, as was usually the 46 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand.He appeared quite moved and a bit 47 .As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis.I was quite 48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment.I didn’t think that I had 49 to say those words to and 50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me.It was telling me that I 51 exactly who I needed to say I love you to.You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated 52 and really never resolved it since that one.We 53 seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.But 54 then, we hardly spoke to each other.So last.Tuesday 55 I got home, I had convinced myself.I was going to tell my father I loved him.”

Native TongueAt first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what the people were saying.
“Why did they do this?”Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you can't learn if you can't understand the teacher.”
Nadia's voice was a whisper, “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadia's English was perfect.
Kate was perplexed. She couldn't understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn't the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual think to learn —-all at the same time.
Nadia nodded quickly. In a quiet voice she replied, “Many things people say, I do rat understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn't a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me.”“Don't worry. ”said Kate. “You'll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer. A USB is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer. ”
Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson . To Kate's surprise , Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.
Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Sane of the questions were really difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher-said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.
Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. “Some things,”she said in a normal voice, “are the same all over the world.”
