“一味地追求笔试的好成绩并不可取。我所认识的20多位获得诺贝尔奖的专家中，没有一个是经常考试第一名的。居里夫人是个例外，听说她经常考第一，但我不认识她。”

--诺贝尔物理学奖得主丁肇中如是说。

在2007年寒假NT015（昭化路）班上，遇到了这样一位女生。在结课的那一天（2月16日，农历小年夜）的课间休息时，她跑到教师休息室，送给我一份我收到过的最令我感动的礼物（在新东方教书的这几年里，我收到过花、嗓子药、杯子、礼品券等很多礼物）——一幅画，一幅倾注着这位学生心血的画。也许她坐得太远，未能看清我的相貌（看清之后可能就很失望了），而且居然在画作中拼错了Harry Potter的名字，可那是最令我感动的礼物，因为那一分入木三分的传神感，因为那一份可以在画作中体会出来的努力。

谢谢你，Ina，非常感谢你的礼物。祝福你，Ina，希望你的这份天赋能很好地帮助你顺利走向美国的大学。

  1、我上课喜欢坐在讲台上讲……还有我喜欢的厚底运动鞋。

  2、在那个班上，由于讲台无法承受我的重量，有一次讲台明显地发出了恐怖的声音，吓得我赶紧跳下来。

  3、那段时间上课实在上得太多了，而且天气反常得厉害，于是喉咙明显不行了，几节课都是硬撑着上的。

  4、也许我上课真的Harry Potter和熊猫说得太多了……看看那只熊猫的眼神，好好玩。

  5、呵呵，可爱的Ina，善于用画笔来表现一切。我觉得非常的传神，也是你将来向美国大学申请时需要展示的一大亮点。谢谢你，Ina。

时间过得真快，一晃又是一年。我又不可避免地老了一岁，大家却慢慢成长了。

在这里祝大家新年快乐，万事如意。
