magic tricks, a toy circus, neighborhood shows and science projects.
From as early as I can remember to the time I left home for college, I continued to come to him
with a design or an idea, and he would figure out how to build it.
In fifth grade, a schoolmate and I wrote a puppet(木偶) show that we wanted to perform for
our class. I made the puppet heads myself, and I made the costumes and curtains with Mon-who
was as expert designing and sewing with cloth as my father was designing and working with wood
and metal. With Dad I made the puppet stage, in our own invented style between kid and adult
with me saying something like, " It has to be this high, and it needs to come apart and fold up so it
can fit in the backseat of the car, and it needs to set up fast, and it needs to have different colored
lights on top with switches you can reach to control them and a curtain you can pull from under it,
even if you still have a puppet on your hand." Dad figured out how to make it all work, making plans
as we went along. Then with the tools in his shop he built it, and I helped.
Dad also spent a lot of time out in the garage or in the driveway working on the family car. I don"t
remember that he ever took it to a professional auto-repair shop. Maybe to save money, but also
because he could usually figure out what needed fixing, just by taking it apart and looking. Though
not trained as an auto mechanic, he could look under the engine cover and take parts and pieces out,
spread them on a tarp (油布) to catch the oil and figure out what was supposed to happen to the
machine and then figure out what wasn"t happening and then replace the worn-out part or whatever
and then put everything back together again.

sitting next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a
convict (罪犯) returning home from a prison far away. What he did had brought shame (羞耻) on his
family, and they had neither visited him nor written to him. He hoped, however, that this was only because
they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.
When he was set free he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for
them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal (信号) for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had forgiven (原谅) him, they were to put up a white ribbon (丝带) in the big apple tree near
the railway. If they didn"t want him back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go
far away.
As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the
window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put
his hand on the young convict"s shoulder. "There it is," he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. "It"s all
right. The whole tree is white with ribbons."

too good a time; they went home with designated (指派的) drivers. All evening, the gift table remained
unguarded. Who would steal anything, Ray thought. He had never heard of such a thing happening at a
wedding. But his best friend Aaron said there was a first time for everything. He strolled out regularly from the inside festivities (庆祝) to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious was hanging around
it.
Ray and Julia went on a 3-week honeymoon to Italy right after the wedding. When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank-you notes. But there was one problem. A married couple that used
to be good friends had apparently given nothing. This surprised Julia, because Walt and Mary said they were thrilled to be invited. And, they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding. Frankly, Ray
didn"t even care if they hadn"t given a gift. He just needed to know whether to send a thank-you note. Ray called Aaron. Aaron said maybe Walt had left an envelope on the gift table like Aaron had. "Yes, but we
got your envelope with the cash inside," Ray said.
"Maybe my envelope looked too thin, and some thief thought Walt"s envelope looked nice and fat."
Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everywhere for Walt"s gift. Had he called up the wedding site to see
if anything had been left behind? Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless.
Ray didn"t know what to do. If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadn"t given, they would be insulted. If he didn"t send them a thank-you note for a gift they had given, they would get angry.
"What would you do?" Ray asked. Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem.
"You can"t go wrong with simply being honest," Aaron said.
"Oh, yes, you can," Ray contradicted(反驳)him. "Sometimes it"s best to let sleeping dogs lie." But he
thought about it, and finally decided that Aaron was right. He called Walt and told him the problem. Walt
said that yes, he had given an envelope. In fact, the envelope contained $500 cash.
"$500?!" Ray asked. "That"s a lot of cash, Walt!" Walt admitted that it was, but he had gotten a fat raise(加薪) early that year and Ray"s was the only wedding he"d been to in quite a while. Ray thanked him very much, and apologized sincerely for someone stealing Walt"s generous gift. Walt told him that it was "only
money".
When Ray told Aaron about Walt"s gift, Aaron laughed. "The only thief at the wedding was Walt! I quit playing cards with him last year because I caught him cheating. And it was only a $10 pot! I"m sure I told
you about that."
"Yes, you did tell me," Ray said. But, of course, he had to send Walt a thank-you note anyway.
B. Walt had surely gotten a fat raise early that year.
C. Stealing had never happened at a wedding.
D. Aaron looked on honesty as the best policy.
A. deeply impressed
B. badly hurt
C. much discouraged
D. greatly moved
B. Faithful and experienced.
C. Outgoing and determined.
D. Friendly and optimistic.

days dragged by. Even my faith was wearing thin. My heart ached so desperately, wanting this
child with autism (自闭症) to come alive and be aware of the beauty, the wonder and the fun
even if she had the pain of living without her mother.
Then on a late March day,one of the boys excitedly reported a robin (知更鸟) in the schoolyard.
We flocked to the window to see it. "Spring"s here!" the children cried. "Let"s make a flower border
for the room!"
Why not? I thought. Anything to lift our spirits. This time the papers we selected were beautiful
pastel (颜料) colors,with brown strips to weave into baskets. I showed the children how to weave
the baskets and how to fashion all the flowers we welcome in early spring. I placed the beautifully
colored papers on her desk and encouraged her to try. Then I left the children to do their own
creating,and I spent, the next half-hour sorting strips of paper at the back of the room.
Suddenly,Kristie came hurrying to me,her face red. "Come and see Mary"s basket," she cried.
"It"s so pretty! You"ll never believe it!" I caught my breath at its beauty. "Mary," I said ."This is
beautiful. How did you ever manage?" She looked at me with the shining eyes of any normal little girl.
"My mother loved flowers," she said simply. "She had all of these growing in our garden. "
We fastened her basket in the very center of the border at the front of the room. It remained
there until school ended in June. On the last day,Mary held it carefully as she carried it out the door.
Then she came running back, pulled a paper crocus (番红花) from her basket and handed it to me.
"This is for you," she said, and she gave me a hug.
I"ve kept the crocus in my desk ever since-just to remind me of Mary and of the enduring power of
love and faith.
