One day he found a new position（位子）in a joint company（合资公司）.So he was paid really well in such companies, but he didnt have much free time. Since then my friend had to work from early in the morning to late at night, with few holidays.His wife was a doctor. Sometimes she had to work at night or on Sunday. When both of them were working, no one took care of their five-year-old son. They often locked him up at home for being afraid that he might get lost.Last Sunday I went to visit this friend. His door was locked. I heard loud sounds from the TV inside and guessed someone was in. I knocked at the door and the TV was turned off. I knocked again, but still nobody came. After a moment, the wooden door opened a little and my friends son looked out. When he recognized me, he opened the wooden door wider, and I noticed he had a stick in his hand! I asked him, “Is your father at home?” “No, hes at work.” “And your mother?” “Also at work.” “What are you doing then?” “Watching TV.”I said goodbye and left. Was he holding a stick to protect himself? And why was he locked indoors? In such fine weather, he should be out playing with friends. Instead he was kept inside, like a bird in a cage!

If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sister and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didnt go to school. I only had three hours of formal(正规的)education when I was five. I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didnt enjoy it and hadnt learned anything. My parents decided that school was not for me and I never went back.My mother then taught me and my two sisters, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how Id like to have it. I couldnt say my r when I was small. My mother said if I could say an r well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my rs. I got the toy train.
