"We didn"t have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him."All the food was slow." "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called "at home"." I explained."Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn"t like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it."
Some parents never owned their own houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card.
My parents have never driven me to soccer practice.This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer.I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed.We didn"t have a television in our house until I was 11.I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie".When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered(粘贴)itself against my chin and burned that, too.It"s still the best pizza I ever had.
I delivered newspapers, six days a week .The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents.I had to get up at 4:00 a.m.every morning.On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers.My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change.
If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren.
Growing up isn"t what it used to be, is it?

Family reunions build a renewed closeness as we mix with our relatives.We sit and talk about old times and listen to the stories that our older and wiser relatives love to share.As the children run and play and get to know each other, we sit and revisit our childhood memories and enjoy the short time we have together.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils.The standards may be changed because no examination is perfect, but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards.There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers.This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected school? And from families known to them, a form of favouritism will replace equality.At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates(毕业证) to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability(不合适)of a dull child attending a well-respected school.This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school"s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child form the favoured school.
The opponents(反对者)of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils.According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class.They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection.The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.
小题1:The underlined word "favouritism" in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ___.
A.bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs. |
B.children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs |
C.poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets |
D.children attending ordinary schools achieve great success |
A.Schools for bright children would lose their reputation. |
B.There would be more opportunities and excellence. |
C.Children from poor families would be able to change their schools. |
D.Children"s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation. |
A.jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection |
B.computers should be selected to take over many jobs |
C.special classes are necessary to keep the school standards |
D.schools with academic subjects should be done away with |
A.schools and certificates | B.examinations and equality |
C.opportunity and employment | D.standards and reputation |
I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers-that they make money from the misfortune of others.
“I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me.” Be honest. What do you make?”
I wish he hadn’t asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him a lesson.
You want to know what I make?
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best?
I make parents tremble in fear when I call them:
I hope I haven’t called at a bad time.
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you?”
And it was the bravest act I have ever seen.

You want to know what I make?

And then I make them read.

I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.
Let me make this simple for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a great difference! What about you?
