When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No, sir.” Just nodding your head is not acceptable.
Because I grew up in rural North Carolina, this rule comes 36 to me, and it seems the obvious choice to come first. If you want children to respect you, you have to let them know 37 . Simply telling them you want them to address you by saying “sir” lets them know 38 you expect them to treat you. I also tell my students it’s a very useful tool when 39 with adults, and furthermore it also 40 handy for any adult interacting with another adult. Case in point: I was 41 the phone recently with the phone company discussing the inaccuracies(差错) of my 42 . The lady I spoke to was not 43 and seemed annoyed. 44 , in the midst of the conversation, I threw in a “yes, ma’am,” and her entire 45 changed. She became far more helpful and 46 to deal with, and she 47 cutting my bill in half.
Some of my students in Harlem were to be 48 for a chance to attend a high-rated junior high school. The school only had thirty openings for the following year, and twelve of my students were 49 the many kids across the city who applied for the spots. I practiced what the interview would be 50 with my students, and one main thing I stressed was, “ 51 you say ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no sir’ no matter what!” Weeks after the interviews, I was delighted to hear that all twelve of my students had been 52 . When I talked with the admissions director at the school, the main 53 he made over and over was how 54 my students were in their interviews. It seemed like just such a simple thing to do, but it gets 55 .

Last winter ,when I was heavily pregnant , I was visiting my sister and brother-in –law’s house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn’t have accessible parking .The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground –not many people had ventured out that evening !
When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.
All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that"s what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma"am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It"s okay, stay in your car and we"ll push you out of the snow." And they did!
When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence（玩世不恭）was 36 to me. We liked each other the first instant we met．37 ，I was a straight Astudent and my parents had high hopes for me to 38 an Ivy League（常春藤联盟）school.Billy did not 39 into the equality. We were in love nevertheless-that 40 teenage love．I still remember we had a plan for prom（舞会）．It was understood that we had 41 about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents-panic．And it grew as the 42 letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to，nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University-the Ivy League college 43 in historic Providence，Rhode Island．
There was no 44 that I was drawn to Brown，but Billy (who had joined the army）was 45 down south and I had offers 46 for me there，too. I was torn between my love for him and my family 47 ．
One week 48 the start of school，my mother had a talk with me．She said I was eighteen years old and I had a 49 to make---one that went 50 beyond the choice of 51 to attend university.
In August，I 52 and drove north to Providence．It took several months to 53 that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy"s，Brown changed my life，opening doors and giving me the 54 I now use to think，to learn and to write. Life is always about 55 it seems，and the older I get，the more I understand this. Still，there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love．
