When I was eight or nine years old,I wrote my first poem.My mother read the little poem and began to cry. "Buddy,you didn't really write this beautiful,beautiful poem!"
Shyly,proud-bursting,I stammered that I had.She poured out her praise.Why, this poem was nothing short of genius!I glowed.
I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for the arrival of my father.But he did not return until an hour late for dinner. "Ben,a beautiful thing has happened," my mother began. "Buddy has written his first poem!And it's beautiful,absolutely amazing."
"If you don't mind,I'd like to decide that for myself," Father said.
That poem was only ten lines.But it seemed to take hours.I could hear my father breathing. "I think it's lousy," my father said.
"Ben,these are the first lines of poetry he's ever written," my mother was saying. "He needs encouragement."
They quarreled over it.I couldn't stand it another second.I ran from the dinning room bawling.
Up in my room I threw myself on the bed and sobbed.
A few years later I took a second look at that first poem;it was a pretty lousy poem.But it wasn't until years later that the true meaning of that painful "first poem" experience dawned on me.As I became a professional writer,it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been.I had a mother who said, "Buddy,did you really write this?I think it's wonderful!" and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with "I think it's lousy." A writer — in fact every one of us in life — needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows;and yet alone it is incomplete,even misleading,finally destructive,without the father force to caution, "Watch.Listen.Review.Improve."

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
