－Well, if you _____ know, they are all my visiting students.

A. shall　　B. can　　C. may　　D. must

I went to the classroom with great confidence when I gave my first lesson to my English literature class. Since I had taught in America for many years, I had no 36 ______ about my ability to hold their attention and to 37 ______ them my admiration for the literature of my native language.

I was 38 ______ when the monitor shouted，“ Stand up！ ” The whole class 39  ______ as I entered the classroom. I was somewhat 40 ______ how I could get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 41 ______ my calmness and began what I thought was a fact- packed lecture, sure to gain their 42 ______  — perhaps even their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow(满面红光）which came from a sense of 43 ______ .

All ray students 44 ______ diaries. However, as I read their diaries, the rosy glow was gradually 45 ______ by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said，“ Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today. Her next lecture will 46 ______ be better. ” Greatly surprised，I read diary after diary, each expressing a 47 ______ theme. “ Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 48 ______ for all the works we'll study in class, “ I complained. “ How should they say I didn't 49  ______ them anything?"

After a long term ’ I gradually learned that my ideas about 50 ______ were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to 51 ______  questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions, while my students thought a teacher's job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a great 54 ______ !

However, I also learned a lot, and my 55 ______  with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

Dear editor,

I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people.They are not as polite or hard-working as my generation（一代人I will give you two examples.

Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. It was very crowded so there was no free seat.There were some boys sitting on the seats near me.I didn't know why they were not at school.They were talking and laughing loudly. It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise.At the next stop, a pregnant（怀孕的）woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags.I expected the boys to let them sit down.They saw the woman but they did nothing.I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter seats.   They did so but gave me a rude look.

Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family.I was glad to see his children, who I hadn't seen for ten years.During the dinner, I started talking about world politics with the children.It soon became clear that they didn't know much about it.They couldn't tell me the name of the King of Spain or President of Italy.All they knew about was the Internet or which singers were the most beautiful.In my days, students knew the kings, the queens and the presidents of every country in Europe.

I worry about the future of Germany.How could these young people become good workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age.Maybe they have too much money.Perhaps some readers can give us some ideas about what to do with this “lost generation”.

Yours sincerely,

Frantz Vogts.
