    From age eight to eleven , I attended a small school in Bath , England . It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to （根据） age . For the most part , one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class . However , sometimes the headmaster , Mr. Ronald Broaches , would come in and spend an hour or so , teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested . He was a large man with a very happy nature . He had a sense of humor （幽默感） and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh . He was a very fair man and had a great influence （影响） on many of the children . In my own case , I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles （难题） . He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket , often with a puzzle already on it . The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical . As time went on , they slowly got more difficult , but I loved them . Not only that , they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day . They also served to show me that intellectual （智力的） activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found , but perhaps more importantly it was great fun . To this day , I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done !” whenever I got a problem right . The simple communication （交流） with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life . I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed . Mr. Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine . Unluckily , I had no chance to speak to him before he died . I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life .
