Split by: age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing and boys.The Father-Daughter Duel of 54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who escorted (护送) me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a 16-year-old. You were so decent (恰当的) about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.Our relationship improved greatly when I had babies. I didnt know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didnt have to wait long to find out. Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now.I suppose I saw our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and frail behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.Fifty years ago this spring, we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.This week, well plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I dont understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. I dont even like kohlrabi. but I like planting it with you.Honoring a father on Father s Day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school graduation and weddings. Its more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn, who know everything and wont listen to anyone. Its about loving someone more than words can say, and wishing that it never had to end.I love you, Dad.21. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. The authors father scolded her seriously that evening.B. The police officer helped settle the fight between the author and her father.C.

Positioning herself comfortably, she put her enormous arm on the armrest.I didnt reply and leaned towards the window.She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.“Hi, I replied.“My name is Laura. Im from Britain. How about you? A palm waved in front of my face.“Malaysia, I shook the hand reluctantly.Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. “I dont want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size! she said with great sincerity.To my surprise, her face that I disliked hours before, slowly opened into an extraordinary smile lively and calm at the same time. I couldnt help but let down my guard.Laura was an interesting conversationalist. She was well read in many subjects from philosophy to science. She turned a seemingly unimportant subject into something to explore and understand. Her comments were humorous and inspirational. When our topic turned to cultures, I was pleasantly surprised by her intelligent comments and well-thought-out analysis.I asked Laura, “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You arent worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?“Not at all. You only get the diseases if youre worried about your weight all the time. You see advertisements from slimming centers that say, Liberate yourself from your extra baggage so that you are free to be yourself. Its rubbish! Youre liberated only if youre comfortable with who you are, and what you look like! I eat healthily and walk regularly; Im this size because I am born to be big!She sipped her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it!

My daughters were shocked. They thought I looked bad, but I knew my disguise was perfect.Elizabeth L.

When somebody says “How are you?, is “Busy your usual reply? Not being able to slow down and relax worries a lot of people. But when we say “Im busy, is it sometimes to boast (吹嘘) rather than to complain?According to US writer Tim Kreider, people who moan (埋怨) about being busy are not always the ones who need to be busy.Rather, they are filling their lives up voluntarily. In an article for The New York Times entitled The busy trap, Kreider says, “busy people are “addicted to busyness and fear what they might have to face in its absence.Our lives cannot possibly be silly or meaningless if we are “in demand every hour of the day.Kreider says that for most of us, being busy is not necessary; its something weve chosen.He tells the story of a friend of his who was driven out of New York by high rent costs.

She still gets her work done, but it doesnt take up her entire day.She has a big circle of friends who all go out to the cafe together every night.She used to describe her personality as “driven, anxious and sad. These attributes (特点) turned out to be an “effect of her environment.Kreider says that most of us dont want to be busy, but if everyone else puts on an air of busyness, we feel we ought to do something or risk being considered lazy.Being artificially busy stops us from taking a step back to learn about ourselves.Kreider urges us to space out once in a while. Doing nothing is not lazy, he says: “It is as indispensable (不可或缺的) to the brain as vitamin D is to the body. “The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole it is necessary to getting any work done.History is full of stories of inspiration in idle moments, such as Archimedes “Eureka in the bath and Newtons apple.Kreider wonders whether the “lazy people in life “arent responsible for more of the worlds great ideas, inventions and masterpieces than the hardworking.32.
