| Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York-he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life"s purpose. Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton" s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer"s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. "I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder." Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts. The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. "We didn"t want to give the children rubbish," says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats"s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney"s Llama Llama series. Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative:"This program introduces us to books I"ve never heard of." The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 200 children. "Some people sit there and wait to die," says Tim. "Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother"s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey. During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn"t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre not just children"s theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed. My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I"ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis"s Archy & Mehitabel through her. Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs. Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favourite niece". Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch, I 1 a note. Often written on a napkin (餐巾), it might be a thank-you for a 2 moment, a reminder of something we were happily expecting, or a bit of 3 for the coming test or sporting event. In early grade school they 4 their notes. But as children grow older they becomes self-conscious (有自我 意识的), and 5 he reached high school, my older son, Marc, informed me he no longer 6 my daily notes. Telling him that he no longer needed to 7 them but I still needed to write them, I 8 until the day he graduated. Six years after high school graduation, Marc called and asked if he could move 9 for a couple of months. He had spent those years well, graduating from college, 10 two internship (实习) in Washington, D.C., and 11 , becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento, 12 short vacation visits, however, he had lived away from home.
