     When I came to Cincinnati as an au pair (家庭打工留學(xué)生),a lot of things there were
different from what I knew.My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a
"castle"．In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom.Soon I found
out that the "castle" was actually rather small in our neighborhood.
     Everybody there was very friendly and polite.They greeted youwhen they were walking
by at least 3 feet away from you.They must not have seen a German au pair before,for most
people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany.I enjoyed answering their various
strange questions.I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.
     Of course,there were a numbor of new things,and it took me the whole year to find them
all out.I never got homesick.Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative
(負(fù)面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.
     However,I had undergone some painful experience back in Germany.I was frustrated
by the way people would run me over and not even say "Sorry." Taking up my studies at
the TUDresden I felt lonely.Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn(離群的)and I missed
ewerything I had in Cincinnati.Germany was so "cold"．I found it so much harder to make
new friends.After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends.I also flew back to
Cincinnati several times for long periods.I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.
Now I am over this German culture shock.It almost took me an entire year.I am still going
back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人稱的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁癥), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (懲罰 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (擺動) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
