9、 me to a school for the deaf, they decided to “mainstream” me. All of my peers and teachers world have normal hearing.I was the only deaf child at Blue Creel Elementary School. From almost the first day there, the other kids made fun of me mainly because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. And I

10、 also had difficulty with most of my school work.When the other kids made fun of me, I was sure that I was a bad person. I saw myself as a boy who wasnt smart enough to keep up with the class.Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.One morning, she aske

11、d the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand because I was sure I had the right answer. But when she called on me, I was afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. Maybe even impress my class

12、mates a little. I didnt want to blow it. Despite my fears, I took a deep breath and answered Mrs. Jordans question.I will never forget what happened next.

17、to spare between meetings, you go to get a quick cup of coffee. “Hey, David, how are you?” one of the senior partners at the firm asks you. “Good, thank you, Dr. Greer,” you reply. Youve really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership atthe firm, and this seems like a great oppor

18、tunity. But as you start to think of something to say, your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight. “So Arnold”, your colleague says to your boss, in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩), “So whats your Super bowl prediction? I mean, youre a Niners fan, right?

19、” The conversation moves on, and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee. You know how important small talk is in the U.S., and you feel jealous of people who can do it well. Theres nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture. People from other co

20、untries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the U.S. and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it - with peers, men, women, and even with superiors. You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world, but your ability to progress in your job in the United States

22、d relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨练) your own version of American-style small talk. Watch how others do it.

23、that can go a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competent8.

26、b rides, and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when a

27、sking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve

28、been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.

29、eway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt the car any more because theres technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared t

30、o six in ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and thats a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats goi

31、ng to be a plus.” Schor continued. To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar.
