3、 leave the same way.” I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again. “Wait a minute，” Mom said. “You didnt have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.” This made me extremely angry. I tore my clothes offshoes, socks, underwear and alland shouted, “Can
4、 I go now？” “Yes，” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, dont expect to come back.” I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our

10、n did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics (统计数字) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children an
11、d grandchildren. Yet there is evidence (证据) suggesting that the trend (趋势) is growing. Even President Obamas motherinlaw, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs Robins
12、ons decision will influence grandparents in the American family.

17、flooded with objects (物品). Why do we often think that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less. I found the preholidays a good time to encourage young children to donate lessused things,
18、and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund
19、 (基金) (our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor) For weeks, Ive been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my o

21、 he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch. We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experime

23、 BRaising money for a poor girl. CAdding the money to her fund. DGiving the money to a sick mother. 29What did the author do in Paragraph 3? AHe tried out an idea. BHe thought of many questions.
