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__1__for 17 years，I had no __2__about my ability to hold their attention and to__3__on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was__4__when the monitor shouted，"Stand up！"

The entire class rose as I entered the room，and I was somewhat__5__about how to get them to sit down again，but once that awkwardness(尴尬) was over，I quickly__6__ my calmness and began what I thought was a fact­packed lecture，sure to gain their respect - perhaps__7__their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

My students__8__a diary. However，as I read them，the rosy glow was gradually__9__by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said，"Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.__10__her next lecture will be better."Greatly surprised，I read diary after diary，each expressing a __11__theme."Didn't I teach them anything？I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical__12__for all the works we'll study in class，"I complained."How__13__ they say I didn't teach them any thing？"

It was a long term，and it__14__became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as__15__of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to raise__16__questions and provide enough background so that students could __17__their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide__18__information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

__19__，I also learned a lot，and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a__20__American teacher，knowing how to teach in a different culture.
