My name is Jack. When my family moved to America in 2014 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs as well as culture. One of the rules is that young people always respect elders. This rule, unfortunately, led to my very first embarrassment in America.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village, however, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with senior citizens. It is not that I don't respect them anymore; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

One day, a math teacher asked her seven-year-old student, Laiq, a question. "If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?" Immediately (立刻地), Laiq replied confidently, "Four!" The teacher was disappointed because she was expecting a correct answer, three. "Maybe the child did not listen to me clearly," she thought.
She repeated, "Laiq, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?" Laiq had seen the disappointment on his teacher's face. He calculated (计算）with his fingers. And within his heart, he was also searching for the answer that would make the teacher happy. His search for the answer was not for the correct one, but the one that would make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly (犹豫地) he replied, "Four."
The disappointment stayed on the teacher's face. She remembered that Laiq liked strawberries. She thought maybe he didn't like apples, so he got the wrong answer. This time with excitement in her eyes she asked, "If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, how many strawberries will you have?" As he saw the teacher become happy, young Laiq calculated with his fingers again. There
was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. With a hesitating smile, young Laiq replied, "Three."
