The House Fairy
As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning their rooms and making their beds. But they thought 36 . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified shouting were landing on 37ears. I felt frustrated (沮丧的) , and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their 38 into tears, I realized I needed to 39 my methods of “mothering”.
One day while they were at school, I had great fun 40 their rooms. On their desks, in plain 41 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 42 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy.” 43 arriving back, the children were 44excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy 45 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 46 asking them to play a certain violin 47. Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas 48 .
Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little 49 : “If you can finish your homework today and 50 it before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 51
of jobs especially well done the day 52 .
53 I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate (合适的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the 54 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and 55 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.
Let us take a 36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an) 37 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness —are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
On evenings when such talk is 43 , families could discover more active pastimes（消遣，娱乐. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different 51 of reading might also be done as it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the 52 ends, the TV net works might be forced to 53 with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical（激进的. How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years 54 television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 55 childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult.
