When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother"s Chinese English. Because of her
English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not
take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they
did not hear her.
My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to
have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was foxed to ask for information or even to yell
at people who had been rode to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an
adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan."
And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don"t send me cheek, already two
week late."
And then, in perfect English I said, "I"m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two
weeks ago, but it hasn"t arrived."
Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss." And so
I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can"t tolerate any more excuse. If I don"t receive the cheek immediately,
I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week."
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.
Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother"s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To
me, my mother"s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I
hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way
I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world. |

I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a sportsman.
Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was
prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father"s age, but now I am stuck with this number
and everything it means.
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, " Fifty is what forty used to be." He had made
an inspirational point, Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling
them that he high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is
impossible for me now.
" Your are not getting older, you are getting better." says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind
of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so. as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net. I am moves to share some
thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older.
of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies (悼词). In fact, a poet named
Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for
what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious
blend (混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher (哲学家) was right when
he said. " Old is always fifteen years from now." |

1 in high school.
2 , high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts (选拔赛) for cheerleaders
(拉拉队队员). She was competing against very talented girls, and she knew it would be 3 for her to
be selected. Two hours later, the 4 read a list of the girls for a second tryout. Her heart 5 as the list
ended without her name. Feeling 6 , she walked home carrying her schoolbag full of homework.
Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was

as Jenna. "I"m sorry, but we have enough 12 for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we"ll
talk then." Jenna smiled 13 and left. "Why is high school so 14 ?" she sighed.
Later in 15 class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much 16 .
By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she"d
continue to try to 17 at her new school. She wasn"t sure if she"d succeed, but she knew she had to 18 .

destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend"s house and found him not at home, his mother might
say, "Oh, he"s out in the woods," with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. It"s similar to the tone people
sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I"m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even"
away from his desk." For us ten-year-olds, "being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we
feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was
a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations,
though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we
stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly
persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got "lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which
someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and
we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we
visited regularly----tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has
reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March, the month when we
usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and
all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree.
Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria. | | 1. The author and his fiends were often out in the woods to _______. | A. spend their free time
