There was once a young man who suffered from cancer.He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. 71 He never went outside;but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once.So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores.He passed a CD store and saw a beauti ful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight.He opened the door and walked in.
She looked up and asked,"Can I help you"
He said, "…Yeah…Umm…I would like to buy a CD."
Hc picked one out and gave her money for it.
"Would you like me to wrap it for you"she asked,smiling her cute smile.
He nodded and she went to the back.She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him.He took it and walked out of the store.
He wcnt home and from then on,he went to that store every day and bought a CD,and she wrapped it for him.He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out.His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took a11 his courage and went to the store as usual.He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn’t looking,he left his phone number on the desk and ran out.
One day , the phone rang,and the mother picked it up and said,"Hello"
It was the girl! The mother started to cry and said,"You don,t know He passed away yesterday..."
Later in the day, the mother went into the boy’s room because she wanted to remember him.She thought she would start by looking at his clothes, so she opened the closet.72 She was face to face with piles and piles of unopened CDs.She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside,there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper,out fell a piece of paper.The mother picked it up and started to read it.It said:Hi…1 think U R really cute.Do U wanna go out with meLove,Jocelyn.

? ? ? ? ? ? Really Equal Partnership{{/B}} ? ?Rodney Mace, 36, is married with two young children, and is a part time teacher of architectural history, "I am constantly surprised by other people’s, when they come to the house and see me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing. Their eyes open wide at the sight of it! Much of the comment comes from men. But I am even more surprised at the number of women who comment too." ? ?His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work: writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton. ? ?People ask the Maces if they think their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. "And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children." ? ?Previously, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. "It seems to me that Jane was very well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do. ? ?Did his male ego(自我,自己) suffer from the change-over? Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it hanged his thinking. "I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief, I wasn’t avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us—think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives. I cannot overemphasize that: in every aspect, I thing it is fundamental tat the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one partner doesn’t work." |
A:they have a truly equal partnership B:the husband enjoys staying at home C:they earn more money D:the wife has a full-time job
A:Men like staying at home. B:The author works at a TV station. C:In more and more families the wife is earning more than the husband. D:The husband is the better parent.

? ? ? ?Mother Knows Best?{{/B}} ? ?Once while being prepped (准备) for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason we’re seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it’s no longer a given (假定的事实) that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home. ? ?At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit, "It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say things like that. Usually it’s a code for, "My wife (read: any woman) is the better parent." ? ?I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration made me bristle (激动). It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife. ? ?I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better" parent: She had spent more time with Ry, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And given a choice, he’d have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and ! looked after our son. ? ?Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew Ry well, understood what he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the world’s great secrets: Women are good at looking after children because they do it. It’s not because of any innate (先天的) female aptitude (天资) or a mother’s instinct. It’s because they put in the time and attention required to become good at the job. ? ?Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I don’t know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass. Other people are capable of looking after them besides Mom. |
