　　My mum is in the Philippines．

　　When she first flew off, I felt 　　1　　－at least I could play“Madden”for a couple of hours more than 　　2　　, or wait a few days before I clean my room!

　　　　3　　 did I know that I would be in for a month long struggle for survival while she was away．OK．I’m exaggerating(夸张)．She 　　4　　 lots of food and money to make sure I don’t starve．But starving is the least of my worries．My 　　5　　 is the everyday tasks around the house－doing the laundry．sweeping the floors and 　　6　　 the room, which don’t seem too difficult 　　7　　 Mam is away．

　　After I did the laundry and vacuumed(用吸尘器清洁)my room, l finally got to 　　8　　．

　　“Wow．so this is what Mum means when she says she’s tired 　　9　　 cleaning the house,”l said to myself．

　　And I wasn’t even finished．My mum usually 　　10　　 me to dust my room every weekend．Because she’s been gone, it almost 　　11　　 my mind．Now I’m left 　　12　　 big piles of dust, not just in my room 　　13　　 around the rest of the house．Yay．

　　It’s not that my mum has magical powers 　　14　　 make houseework easier．It’s that she knows and remembers 　　15　　 to do those things．

　　Yes, mums can nag(唠叨)and mums can 　　16　　 children．But here’s a case in which this old saying holds 　　17　　：“You don’t know what you have until it’s 　　18　　．”

　　so if your mum isn’t on 　　19　　, give her a hug right now and 　　20　　 her for making life easier．

Leaving Home

　　When I told my mother, she looked at me as if I had 　　1　　 her face．

　　“What？Live in London？”she said．

　　“I just feel it's time I saw a little more of the world．After all, mum, I'm twenty-two!”

　　Just then, my father came downstairs, looking 　　2　　 as he always did after his Sunday afternoon nap．I had chosen the moment carefully．

　　“Clive wants to leave home．He doesn't want to live with us any more,”she told him in a trembling voice．My father's expression changed．

　　“What？You aren't serious, are you, son？”he asked．He sat down at the table opposite me．

　　Perhaps my parents wouldn't have reacted this way if they hadn't spent all their lives in a small village in Wales．And perhaps my mother in particular wouldn't have been so possessive if her only other child hadn't died as a baby．I tried to explain to them that the bank I worked 　　3　　 had offered me a chance to take a job in their head office．But I didn't dare tell them I had already accepted the job．

　　“London's a long way away．We'll hardly see you any more,”my father said．

　　“l can come back at 　　4　　, dad．”

　　He shook his head, looking more and more like someone who had just been given a few months to 　　5　　 by his doctor．

　　“I don't know, son．I don't know．”

　　He shook his head again and then got up and walked 　　6　　 into the garden．

　　My mother and I sat there at the table．In the 　　7　　, I could hear the old clock ticking away in the hall．There were tears in my mother's eyes．I knew she was going to put pressure on me to give up the idea, and I wondered if I could stand up to it．I even began to wonder if it was wrong 　　8　　 me to want to leave my family, the village and the people I had known all my life to live among the English in their cold, strange capital．

　　She put her hand over mine．

　　“Your father 　　9　　 lately． either have I．You know that．But we won't stand in your way if it's 　　10　　 you really want,”she said．
