Sitting in the play area of the doctor"s office, my children, Paul, four, and Bailey, three, built a Lego tower while we waited to be called for Paul"s examination. "Good job, you guys, "I said, trying not to sound too tired.My husband was away on business, and it was difficult being alone with the kids.At times I felt like I was living in the jungle (丛林) rather than the suburbs. "Don"t put the Lego in your mouth, Bailey, " I said.Paul grabbed (抓取) it from him."That"s not nice, Paul, " I said.He gave back the Lego.I looked around the waiting room.A woman was eating something, a couple were talking, and an old gentleman in a blue jacket was reading a magazine.I wished I could sit quietly for a while.I wanted to be able to take a rest, or go shopping alone.At once, I was ashamed of myself.What kind of mother was I?"God, " I thought, "help me to be the very best mom I can be." The nurse came into the waiting room to get us.Just at that moment, the old gentleman in the waiting room put down his magazine and came up to me.With a smile on his face, he said, "Your children are most certainly lucky to have such a wonderful mother.""Thank you, "I replied in a low voice and watched him walk back to his seat.We followed the nurse into the examination room.While she weighed Paul, I told her how that man had made my day.

"How was school, Ben?" I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten (幼儿园) this year."The work is too long...and there"s not enough time to play, " he replied. I couldn"t help but remember Ben"s own mother, my daughter, Jane, and her reaction (反应) to the first day of school.Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her little sister."I want to go "sool"and you not let me!" my threeyearold daughter announced angrily after her big sister got on the big yellow school bus. When Julie returned home that afternoon I asked her the same question that I asked Ben, "How was school, Julie?" Julie replied, "I didn"t learn to read today." This year as the school bus went by my house, my mind went back to those school days again.I could almost smell the chalk dust in the air.I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean.It was fun to be "chosen" for eraser cleaning duty.This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together while sneezing and coughing.No_wonder_so_many_babies_now_have_allergies_(过敏症), it"s_simply_ because_we_all_have_chalk_dust_in_our_lungs! On the first day of school, the expectation was so great that I would ready long before it was time to leave for school.We didn"t miss having backpacks because we had cigar boxes.We carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores.We saved the cigar boxes and used them from year to year until they fell apart. The first day of school was exciting.It was a new beginning.The doors of knowledge had been opened.The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember.It"s a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood behind and so "there isn"t enough time to play". No matter how old we get, nor how much we learn, it still seems like "The work is too long...and there"s not enough time to play." | ||||

A. Because she didn"t learn to read on the first day of school. B. Because there was too much work for her to do at school. C. Because she had no time to play at school. D. Because she wasn"t allowed to go to school. | ||||
