| We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn"t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched with mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room and took out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors." "Yes, I"m glad they"ve finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren"t you working late?" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." Outside, Mum told me:"Linda is fine. No fever." "You saw her, Mum?" "Of course, I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. It"s a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. A brush (刷子) is needed." | ||||||||||||||||||

| Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult (成年人) I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father"s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? The next day, my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment . After so many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I"m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 1 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 2 right to our children. When I see a child 3 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie. Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 5 answered questions-he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 6 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned (安排) to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, 7 her. One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 8 the problems with painstaking neatness. Pleased with his progress, I 9 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 10 . He"d missed the third problem. My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 11 . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils. "Look, Donnie." She said, kneeling besides him and gently 12 the tear-stained face from his arms. "I"ve got something to 13 you." She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk. "See these 14 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs. Lindstorm and me. See how the erasers are 15 ? That"s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistake and try again. That"s what you 16 learn to do, too." She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said, "I"ll leave one of these pencils on 17 desk so you"ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
