举一反三
I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn"t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk. Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to remain in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl"s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was that it seemed very strange to her that I hadn"t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test. | 1.

But they thought 21 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on 22_ ears. Very often a whole hour"s scolding would end with their 23 into tears, I felt very frustrated (沮丧的).I realized I needed to 24 my method of "mothering". One day when they were at school, I spent some time 25 their rooms. On their desks, in plain _26 , I left the cards: "网 Bill (the other card was 27 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I"m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy." 28 arriving back, the children were __29 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy ___30 for them, thanking them for their nice "gift" of a clean room and 31 asking them to play a certain violin 32 . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 33 . Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 34 : "If you can finish your homework and __35 your lessons before dinner, I" d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight." Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 36 of well done jobs the day ___37 . 38 I can"t remember how long "the Room Fairy" continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the 39 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted. We all benefited from and 40 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes.

My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool? First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn"t see what was so great about art. On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother" s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn"t stop looking at this painting ! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
