The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

Mainland China in the 1940's. Last summer, I was in Beijing to work at the Chinese Center for Disease
Control and Prevention.
For 20 years I was regarded as Chinese or Asian in America. So answering the question "Where are
you from?" in China with "United States" was a little uncomfortable, sometimes for both sides. Some
co-workers were surprised at my use of chopsticks and my taste for Chinese food, as if being "American" could only mean eating at McDonald's.
Luckily, I was not always looked on as an American. One afternoon, I took a bus back to my
apartment. A local (当地人) was talking with a white American in English. When the American got up at
his stop, I took his seat and heard the local's conversation with a friend sitting on the other side of her. The local told her friend she often talked with foreigners and that was the best way to learn spoken English.
Meanwhile, I sat there and wanted to tell her that an American was still next to her.
Then I received a call from a friend about meeting up to watch Peking Opera the next day. When I
hung up my cellphone, the woman sitting next to me asked for how long I had been learning English in
order to speak it that well. She was a bit disappointed at my answer that I was born in the US, but the
question led to an interesting conversation on language learning.
B. To do a job in China.
C. To learn more about China.
D. To help Chinese learn English.
B. knew some Chinese culture
C. didn't like the life in China
D. didn't come from the US
B. discuss how to learn Chinese
C. ask how to go somewhere
D. practice spoken English
B. an American who worked in China
C. a Japanese who could speak English
D. a local who liked Peking Opera
B. More American than Americans
C. A Chinese-American in China
D. Is English the global language?
