In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!
The assignment (任务) was to “go to someone you love 36 the next week and tell them you love them. It 37 to be someone you have never 38 those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn’t 39 like a very tough assignment, 40 you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were 41 in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done 42 this was a very threatening assignment for some.
At the 43 of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to 44 what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the 45 to volunteer, as was usually the 46 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit 47 . As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite 48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didn’t feel that I had 49 to say those words to and 50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me. It was telling me that I 51 exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated 52 and really never resolved it since that one. We 53 seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But 54 then, we hardly spoke to each other. So last. Tuesday 55 I got home, I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him.”

It was in late April, dangerously near the well – known AP exams, when the absurdity(无助的荒诞感) of my life struck me. I was making a 36 of problems to be discussed for the evening as usual. When I 37 the great number of things on the list—a literature essay, timelines for American History, a Spanish presentation and 38 for tests in both Calculus and Physics, I was overwhelmed(难以承受) to the point of 39 exhaustion (extreme tiredness). After - school arrangements had already worn away my 40 . To keep myself awake at 11p.m. to finish five hours of 41 just seemed like too much to handle. I 42 at the computer screen with tears streaming down my cheeks, 43 my friend James about how stressed out I was over school.
His response was immediate. “Well, 44 did you decide to take five AP classes on the top of everything you’re doing?”
My response 45 just as quickly. “Because I need them for college. Harvard won’t 46 someone who doesn’t challenge themselves with difficult classes!”
The words sounded so 47 as I typed them on the screen that I 48 laughed out loud. I was supposed to be 49 myself not torturing(折磨) myself. That was the night I 50 that I didn’t need to deal with a course load of disastrous difficulty to 51 my own self – worth.
It was a little too late to 52 things, of course. The AP exams were about to go full – force, 53 were winding down, and most of my clubs and organizations were about to hold their end – of – year parties. Still, I 54 a valuable lesson. No college, one billion dollar endowment (资助) or not, is worth the 55 I went through last year. I wish I’d had someone to tell me sooner that I didn’t have to do everything. Colleges don’t really want overachieving robots, They want people with passion(love). It doesn’t matter whether you’re a policy debater or not, as long as you show that you’re going for the things you love.

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 37 ears. 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 44 excited 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.

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.
