As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents are   36   in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In exchange for room and board, I teach their son   37  .

Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has   38  plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know   39   he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.

Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was   40   a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have   41   jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.

The boy seems to take no interest   42   learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is,   43  , only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as   44   as he is.

In the evening, when his parents   45   him to speak with me in English, he gets   46  . He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops   47  , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese,   48  . He speaks in his own language.

He   49   not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher. I just want to be his big brother   50   can speak in gibberish(胡言亂語) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike, but I knew there was little hope because my family could  36  have that money.
On my birthday, my parents told me they had my  37  outside in the back yard. At once I  38  out to the yard. There was my bike,  39  it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I thought I  40  my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment  41  their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling  42  that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me  43  much more than just a rusty（生銹的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about  44 . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this  45  because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs two dollars isn’t any less valuable than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
