Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the preholidays a good time to encourage young children to donate lessused things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund （基金）（our kindergarten is serious about becoming a doctor）For weeks, Ive been thinking of bigger, deeper questions. How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ballsimple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.1. What do the wordsmore is morein paragraph l probably mean?A.

Maybe Roger here could hold it for you，she smiled at Roger，the bike guy He cant hold it for that long，MomSomeone else will buy itPlease，Mom，Please？ There might be another way，she said And so our paying plan unfoldedMy mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldt findEach week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there （washing the car，helping my mother make dinner，delivering or collevting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front）And then，weeks later，I counted，re-counted and jumped for joyOh，happy day!I made it!I finally had the exact amount wed agreed upon Days later the unthinkable happenedA neighborhood girl Id played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixted to her shiny，new bike that already had all the bells and whistlesI rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disasterThis horrible turn of events And then came the lessonIve taken with me through my life：Honey，Your basket is extra-special，Mom said，gently wiping away my hot tearsYour basket is special because you paid for it yourself5.
