In 1991,I had spent five months in Viger(尼日尔),a hot African country. There were many things I found about this place—the climate and beggars who shouted “Cadeau! Cadeau!” It means gift.
One was a lot worse.One day,a friend and I headed for neighboring Burkina Faso to work in a health clinic.However,a motorbike with two men slowly.Without warning,one of the men my backpack as the motorbike swept close by.The bag had my passport,money,an airline ticket and other things precious to me.I was in deep .In the weeks that followed I looked at all with suspicion.
All I wanted was to leave this place.One day,I was stopped by an old woman “Cadeau!” she cried. I’d had enough! I was sick and tired of the country.I told her firmly,“A thief stole all my money and now I can’t get off your country.” The beggar woman listened carefully and my words.
“Then I will give you a cadeau,” she announced.Kindly,she placed an old brown coin in my palm. I looked at it .Living in poverty,she gave me something priceless! I saw then the beauty of the people of Burkina Faso and deeply the quiet dignity of the small coin;she turned my perceptions upside down.

“We love each other,”said Schwartz who turned 70 on Saturday. “she’ll come up to me and she’ll kiss me right on the lips,1ike a man kisses a woman’’
For four days last week,Schwartz’ life turned as rocky as the rough logging road that connected her life to the outside world. Conservation officers had arrived with orders to 1oose Bimbo. Schwartz was to1d she wasn’t allowed to touch Bimbo any more It seemed somebody had complained,said Environment Minister Terry Lake earlier in the week, noting it’s illegal to keep wild animals as pets.
During those tense days,sleepless nights were made even more restless by nightmares,said Schwartz.

Schwartz could keep her pet with the help of a veterinarian and conservation officers.
“It makes me feel good,”said Schwartz of the announcement.“She is my life.and I’ve had her since the day she’s been born.”
The relationship began when a friend found the orphaned fawn (幼鹿) along a nearby logging road,more than a kilometer away from her current home,said Schwartz. The friend brought the fawn over because she knew Schwartz had raised a deer before.
Schwartz named the fawn Bimbo,based on a Gene Autry song that was playing inside her home at the time,and began feeding the animal goat’s milk.
Days turned into months and years, and now Bimbo’s a part of the family.

One day I was in a taxi and we headed the airport. We were driving in the lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his ,slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started at us.
My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really . So I asked,"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of , full of frustration,full of anger,and full of disappointment. As their garbage up,they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on .Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave,wish them well,and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be .Don’t take their garbage and it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with .The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s in your life. Roy Baumeister,a psychology researcher from Florida State University,found in his extensive research that you bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you them more frequently.
So…Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”,you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day!Have a marvelous,garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today the harvest you reap tomorrow.

“Isn’t your doll just beautiful?” my mother asked. I looked at the doll, with fair hair in a pink dress----I’ll have to call her “she” because I never gave her a name. I folded my lips and raised my eyebrows, not really knowing how to let my mother down easily.
“This doll is different.” My mother explained, trying to talk me into playing with it.
Thinking the doll needed love, I hugged her tightly for a long time. Useless, I said to myself. Finally, I decided to play with the doll’s house. But since rearranging the tiny furniture seemed to be the only active possible, I lost interest. I caught sight again of the third of my gifts The Arabian Nights, and I began to read it. From that moment, the book was my constant companion.
Every day I climbed our garden tree, nestled among its branches, I read the stories in The Arabian Nights to my heart’s content. My mother became concerned as she noticed I wasn’t playing with either the doll or the little house. She insisted that I take the doll up the tree with me.
Trying to read on a branch 15 feet off the ground while holding on to the silly doll was not easy. After nearly falling off twice, I tied one end of a long vine around the doll’s neck and the opposite one around the branch, letting the doll hang in mid air while I read. I always looked out for my mother, though. I sensed that my playing with the doll was of great importance to her. So every time I heard her coming, I lifted the doll up and hugged her. The smile in my mother’s eyes told me my plan worked.
The inevitable(不可避免的) happened one afternoon. Totally absorbed in the reading, I didn’t hear my mother calling me. When I looked down, I saw my mother staring at the hanging doll. Fearing the worst of scolding, I climbed down in a flash, reaching the ground just as my mother was untying the doll. To my surprise, she didn’t scold. She kept on staring at the doll.
The next day, my father came home early and suggested he and I play with the doll’s house. Soon I was bored, but my father seemed to be having so much fun, I didn’t have the heart to tell him. Quietly I slipped out, picking up my book on my way to the yard. So absorbed was he in arranging and rearranging the tiny furniture that he didn’t notice my quick exit.
Almost 20 years passed before I found out why the hanging-doll incident had been so significant for my parents. By then I was a parent myself. After recalling the incident, my mother said all those years she had been afraid whether I would turn out to be a most loving and understanding mother to my son.
My mother often thanks God aloud for making me a good parent, pointing out that with education I might have been a rich dentist instead of a poor poet. I look back on that same childhood incident, recalling my third gift, the book in red-paper, and I take advantage of the experiences that have made me who and what I am. Sometimes I pause to wonder at life’s wonderful ironies (讽刺).
小题1:Why didn’t the author give the doll a name?
A.Because the gift was given by her parents. |
B.Because the girl didn’t care much for the doll. |
C.Because her parents would give the doll a name. |
D.Because the doll had little in common with her. |
A.hoped to shape their children’s future |
B.were unconcerned about their behavior |
C.ruined their children’s dreams completely |
D.might withdraw their love at any moment |
A.The mother is now satisfied with her daughter’s career. |
B.The daughter now regrets what she did when she was a girl. |
C.The mother thinks the daughter’s achievements are unsatisfactory. |
D.The daughter wishes that she had been allowed more freedom as a child. |

She doesn’t have any pets. I happened to see her outside on a -30 degree morning walking a dog. I felt sorry for Mary, out there walking a dog that’s not hers in such cold weather. I thought maybe she was saying to herself, “Yeah, this is why I don’t have any pets! I hate walking dogs.”
Later that day I saw Mary and said, “I saw you out there walking a dog this morning. Are you unhappy because you had to walk it on such a cold day?” To my surprise, she said that she enjoyed getting out there and walking the dog and that she got good exercise because of the dog. She also said she had talked to her brother, the dog’s owner, who was on holiday in Orlando, Florida with his family. He said his children were enjoying Disney World and the resorts (胜地). His four-year-old son had breakfast with Mickey Mouse and said it was the best day in his life. Mary said, “If I can help my brother and his family have a wonderful time relaxing for a week, knowing that their pet is being loved and cared for, what more could I ask for?” She added, “It’s worth it for me to make the sacrifice (牺牲) so that they can go and have fun.”
