They usually have dirty hands and wear dir

6、ty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls(光榮榜). But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.

(2)Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and its true. I would be a different person if my m

14、om hadnt turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly dont know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been

15、 a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, wed hear something like, “I dont care what so and so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room a car for your birthday a lavish sweet 16 party.” We had to earn our allowance

18、ked at me and I knew -I knew-I had to have it. “Its beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her,” What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first, I played it cool for a short while.

19、ng as you say, Ill do anything, but I need that basket, I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”I was desperate.“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever,” If you save up you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it

20、ll be gone!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.“He cant hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, Please?”“There might be another way,” she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely

21、in some hiding place I couldnt find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I count

22、ed, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount wed agreed upon.Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl Id played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fitted to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and w

23、histles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson Ive taken with me through my life: “Honey, Your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yoursel

39、ted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was n

40、ever taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the momentthe time to share the day's new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen."Felice," he'd s
