| Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, a crocodile was swimming toward him. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile. Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother"s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved. The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn"t let go." Never judge another person"s scars, because you don"t know how they were made. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered (干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money. Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother" s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them. Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people. These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| In Twain, many people know what a "motorpool" means. It is 1 known as a place for the maintenance (维修) of official business and government cars. 2 it is a place for vehicle maintenance. More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the 3 to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to 4 me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the 5 , my friend drove his car into the innermost 6 , which had a sign "carpool only". I 7 what "carpool" meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool. 8 I thought myself clever in asking: "Is there anything wrong with the car?" "Nothing. 9 ?" said he. "Well then, why are you going to carpool?" I 10 . My friend couldn"t help 11 and told me that "carpool" refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more 12 can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on 13 that. After dinner, my friend"s neighbor came over to ask whether he 14 "carpool" the next day. " 15 ," my friend said, "I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow." I was 16 again, wondering why he could not "carpool" with him since we had "carpooled" 17 . My friend explained to me again that the "carpool" that his neighbor 18 meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first "carpool" is a noun, 19 the second "carpool" is a verb. It is really 20 for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
