　　 　　　　　　　　　Passage 3

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 　21　 　for seventeen years, I had no 　22　 　about my ability to hold their attention and to 　23　 　on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted," 　24　 　!" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 　25　 　about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尴尬) was over, I quickly 　26　 　my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect--perhaps 　27　 　their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

My students 　　28　 　diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 　29 　by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.　 30　 　her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 　31　 　theme. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical　 32　 　for all the works we'll study in class," I complained." How 　　33　 　they say I didn't teach them anything?"

It was a long term, and it 　34　 　became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as　 35　 　of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to raise 　　36　 　questions and provide enough background so that students could 　　37　 　their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide　 38　 　information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

　 39　 　, I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a　 40　 　American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.
