Physical gestures and body language have different meanings in different cultures, and misunderstanding these signals can sometimes be embarrassing.So we must learn how to tolerate.Although I had spent a lot of time among non-Americans, I had never realized what this could mean in practical terms.I had an experience that taught me well, however.Some years ago, I organized and accompanied a small group of visiting foreign students to New York for four days of sightseeing by bus.Because these students were rather young, and because New York was such an overwhelming city, I was constantly counting heads to be sure we hadn't lost anyone.In the USA , it is very common to count people or things by pointing the index finger and, of course, I used this method.One young man became extremely quiet and pensive, and I thought that perhaps he wasn't enjoying himself.When I asked him what the matter was, he replied, In my country, we count people with our eyes.We use our fingers to count pigs.

by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, ED Rickets.
I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that three are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
My three teachers had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing; they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.
I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation (思绪) ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies (萤火虫).
She was fired, and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?
