I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王国) of happiness until you pretended (假装) to be a small child.”

【小题1】Jeff’s right leg was cut off because he had_______.

Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I     31   .I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father     32   , too.” But what about the other days of the year ?
I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day 1 went to see her. We had a nice conversation. Then she wanted to      33    . So she dialed(拨号) the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen      34    , she dialed the number again “Hi, Mom…”
Later I asked, “    35     did you dial the number twice?” She smiled, “My parents are old and      36     . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them      37     time to answer the call.”
My friend is a good girl. She is     38    thinking about her parents. You also want to be a       39     child, right? Please always remember to     40   your parents often, not just on some important days.
