__________I understand you, I can’t agree with you.

    How time flies! One month has passed before I could take any notice of it. This is the start of my freshman year in Fudan University. At the very beginning, everything and everyone was strange to me. But now, I’m getting used to it. I’d like to tell you two important and interesting things in my university life.
    Freedom is what I am looking forward to since my primary school. Many people said to me, “Study hard, and you will get freedom when in university.” But when I really entered university, I find the real situation is different. Freedom costs me a lot. If I refuse to wash my clothes, for example, they will just lie there, unclean. So I have to do everything and take care of myself. Well, I like this life style very much though it is hard at the beginning. It is really a challenge for me.
    I appreciate a famous saying from Albert Camus, “Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.” That’s right. Real freedom comes with responsibility. Some teenagers believe that freedom means doing whatever you like. But I think that is not real freedom at all. One can have his or her own freedom, while at the same time respect others’. It’s not easy to think on behalf of others. And now I have the precious chance to practice it.
   Another thing I want to mention is love. Now, something interesting in Fudan is that love exists everywhere. For instance, the first lesson of my English class is about love. A small play at the Freshmen Welcome Party called "Turn Left and Turn Right" is about students’ love in Fudan. Some of my roommates have boyfriends. At night, while lying in bed, we always share their love stories. What’s more, even our instructor once said, “In our department, girls are more than boys. So we’ll have a party with the Chemistry Department, in which the situation is just the opposite.” I was surprised about the attitude towards love here. Is she encouraging us to find someone to fall in love with? I cannot understand it quite well.
   The above are the two things that impressed me most at the very beginning of my freshmen year, and surely I’ll get more out of my university life in the future.

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength．       the story of this boy for example．He decided to study judo(柔道)       he had lost his left       in a car accident．

The boy began lessons        an old Japanese judo master．The boy was doing well，      he couldn’t understand why，after three months of training，the master had      him only one move．

“Sensei，”the boy       said to his master，“shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you’11 ever      to know，”the sensei replied．

Not quite understanding，but believing in his teacher，the boy       training．

Several months later，the sensei       the boy to his first tournament．

To his      ,  the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more        ，but after some time，his opponent(对手)became impatient and charged；the boy skillfully       his one move to win the match．Still amazed by his       ，the boy was now in the finals．

This time，his opponent was bigger，stronger，and more       ．For a while，the boy appeared to be defeated．       that the boy might get       ，the referee called a timeout(暂停)．He was about to stop the match when the sensei       ，saying，“No，let him continue．”

    Soon after the match began again，his opponent made a big       :he dropped his guard．The boy won the tournament．

When asked，“how did I win with only one move ? ”，the sensei answered, “First，you’ve  almost      one of the most difficult throws in all of judo．Second，the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grasp your left arm．”

I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting．

First, family life is quite   1   in China． In the USA, many young people   2   home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is   3   for people to live with their parents until they get married．   4  , many of my Chinese friends told me that their  5   lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important   6   the Chinese think family relationships are more important．

Bargaining is another   7   that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are   8   and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are   9   to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent   10   the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should   11   to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to   12   if you live in China．

Tipping hasn’t been easier to   13  ． In the USA, many people in the service   14   want to get   15   money for serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture．   16   I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little   17   and refused to take the money．

In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their   18  ． Actually, this is a   19   of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just   20   the food in the plate．
