My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other , including her“sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression that she's anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, that she doesn't push too hard on them, really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that often don't realize she's blind.
I this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle with us”.
To my great , my child had learned about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn't know that Michelle was blind. It had just never in conversation. When I told my daughter that Michelle was blind, she was for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla . And I knew my child was because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also heard Kayla's in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout(付款台) earlier today．All of the checkouts were 36 , and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a(n) 37 ! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts 38 ; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she 39 scan her own shopping.
I listened to her 40 looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带)．I didn’t want 41 to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go 42 of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!
But then I 43 back．Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl, 44 her granddaughter．The girl’s part of the shopping 45 of some comic books.
I couldn’t 46 it．I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt, 47 a space．“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and 48 them to a big49 ．The woman was delighted, and even 50 to complain ---- until she was walking away．
So,51 bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge(海绵)．She was learning how to 52 situations like that by listening to her granny．I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some 53 into the middle of it．
We can all complain; we can all react 54 , but it doesn’t have to be like that．And, even if only for a few 55 , I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way．

“Father, I don’t like to go to school,” said Harry Williams one morning. “I wish you would let me stay at home. Charles Parker’s father doesn’t make him go to school.”

“See how beautifully these peas are 41, my son,” said Mr. Williams. “How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good 42 . Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker’s garden.”
Mr. Williams then 43 Harry to look at Mr. Parker’s pea vines.
After a few moments, Mr. Williams asked, “Well, my son, what do you 44 Mr. Parker’s pea vines?”
“Oh, Father!” replied the little boy. “I never saw such 45 looking peas in my life! The weeds are nearly as 46 as the peas themselves. There won’t be half a crop!”
“ 47 are they so much worse than ours, Harry?”
“Because they have been left to grow as they 48 . I suppose Mr. Parker just planted them, and never took any care of them 49 ”
“ Yes. A garden will soon be overrun with weeds 50 it is not taken good care of,” Mr. Williams 51 , “and so it is with the human garden. Children’s minds are like garden beds. They must be 52 cared for. I send you to school in order that the garden of your 53 may have good seeds(种子) and 54 plentifully. Now which would you 55 , to stay at home or go to school?”

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 41 those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again 42 at the pier（码头）waving good-bye to my father as his 43 pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 44 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 45 in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing 46 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood—my mother. For both my 47 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 48 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 49 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 50 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother 51 managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 52 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 53 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to 54 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 55 into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to 56 another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a 57 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 58 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 59 attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 60 all those years of my childhood—she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

The night started out ordinarily enough. Jack and Tara, our 36 , were in their small beds surrounded by toy animals. My husband, Pat, and I went to sleep 37 .
38 after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. “Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room.” I shifted 39 to make room. My son soon fell asleep.
An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. “Mommy, my 40 is all stuffed up（堵住）. I can’t really breathe very well. Will you please 41 with me a little while?” Tara doesn’t often get up at night, 42 I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed. I was determined to sleep. But to my 43 , I found Jack sleeping on my side of the bed. He looked so 44 that I couldn’t remove him. Quietly and carefully, I lay down between 45 and Jack.
I did manage to get some sleep 46 I heard Tara’s voice again. I returned to 47 Tara. “Mom, please lie down with me a little bit, I had a bad dream, and I’m so 48 .” “Of course, honey. It was only a dream. Mommy’s here and 49 is okay.” We fell asleep 50 each other’s arms.
Even in my sleepy state, I thought of 51 these nights of merry-go-round（一连串的繁忙活动）beds will be over. In their place, my twins will be grown. 52 before I’m ready, our children’ rooms will be much too 53 and empty. So it is especially on days when I’m worn out after a night on this mom’s merry-go-round that I remind 54 that these very days and nights are, in fact. “the good old days”, ever so 55 .
