29、 the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion. On the way home, the boy and his judo master reviewed every move in each and every match.

35、 five-year-old daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of 1977, and told me so. Yes, she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella, books, long nightgown, slippers-fine. But really, there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories. This was

36、a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl, preferred stuffed animals to dolls, and wasnt drawn to play in a structured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules , design -my-own-world, do-it-my-way kid. Maybe, I thought, the point wasn t Barbie but the house, which she could claim for herself, since w

Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!“ Some Assembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born, I was raised

38、 in apartment buildings in a family that didn t build things. A few years earlier, I d spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figure out why there were so many pieces. The day aft

39、er I finished building it, as if to remind me of my limitations, a tornado(龙卷风 ) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field. I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level, keeping the columns from looking like they d melted and been refrozen, and

40、 getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleepingif, in fact, she was sleepingadded a layer of challenge. By dawn I was done. Shortly thereafter, my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may

41、not be real, but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me to this day, 34 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to do something I didn t think I could do.

46、affic jam, the cost of petrol and the fast pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver s seat is another matter. You

47、might tolerate the odd road-hog(占道者 ), but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “ Be Kind to Other Drivers“ campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand. Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the m

48、ost Good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected to uncivilized behavior. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowle

49、dgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don t even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it. Contrary to general opinion, young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads. Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of sig
