Whats this about?”“Ive sold your novels 5 one and a half million dollars.”I sat down in 6. I had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 7 by the publishers. I suppose many people would have been 8, but not me. Each time, I just 9 writing another one. My husband advised me to find something else to do, but I refused to 10.

I learnt so much about them that I could 4 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 5.You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 6 big prizes.My wife had been changing her 7 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 8 of all the prizes wed won. Then there was a lot of travelling, which she liked. You see, someone has to take the pigeons a 9 way off and release them. Some of the 10 were really nice. I never traveled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They got the wonderful sense of 11, which could bring them back home so quickly. Theyd flown hundreds of miles sometimes 12 storms or against strong winds. And there theyd come, tiny white birds against the great 13. Then Id watch them 14 round and come down onto the landing shelf. Id look at my watch and think,“My goodness, thats a good 15.” And Id take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 16 what time hed arrived. Then my wife would 17 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if wed won 18.However, last year we had a 19! One of them got some sort of flu(流感) and died; then they all 20.

Having taught in 1 for 17 years, I had no 2 about my ability to hold their attention and to 3 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted,“4!”The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 5 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness (尴尬) was over, I quickly 6 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect - perhaps 7 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.My students 8 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 9 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said,“Our literature teacher didnt teach us anything today. 10 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 11 theme (主题). “Didnt I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical (哲学的) framework of Western thought and laid the historical 12 for all the works well study in class,” I complained. “How 13 they say I didnt teach them anything?”It was a long term, and it 14 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 15 of my students. I thought a teachers job was to raise 16 questions and provide enough background so that students could 17 their own conclusions. My students thought a teachers job was to provide 18 information as directly and clearly as possible.

How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years? It took me almost 20 years to have the 1 to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first 2 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a 3 that, in the past, would have started him 4 again. For a few years we were 5 to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.“I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day,” was Dads 6 to my 18-year-old unasked question. “The words were a constant (经常的) 7 to me that things were 8 so hard that I could not deal with them,” Dad said. Then he 9 the poem with me. The poems 10, yet profound (深刻的) words immediately became 11 of my daily routine as well.About a month after this 12 with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one13 for each day of the year.It has been my 14 that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own 15.I 16 opened the book to November 10 to see 17 words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I was 18 when I looked at the page, and then tears of disbelief and appreciation 19 down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had 20 my father for all these years!

And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around.The first 3 frightened me in the beginning. But that 4 quickly disappeared.

Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 2, with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldnt 3 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment（尴尬） at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof（证明）of how 4 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. “I guess we all have to 5 something,”Mother said quietly. I could 6 her pain and the tension（紧张）of 7 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 8. Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 9 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 10 and didnt try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could 11 was enough. At that moment, feeling Mothers 12 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 13. She was still my mother, 14 she was something 15: a person like me, capable of fear and 16 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 17 in her arms.A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 18.“Its a job I can do, though.” She said simply.
