I

remember

we

went

ot

visit

Chuck

in

the

institution

(

福利院

)

and

found

him

I

very dirty clothes.

“

Why would they not ( change ) him?

”

I wondered. I think my

dad thougth that as well because Chuck started staying with us more, ( eventually )

living with us. Chuck was never a ( normal ) boy, being severely mentally ill. Every

day I ( walked ) him around the block and people would stare and how ( embarrassed )

I

felt

thinking

they

were

talking

about

us.

I

remember

one

day

I

ran

home

crying,

asking my parents why they had to be so ( mean ). After all, Chuck didn

’

t ( ask for )

this condition, neither did my parents.

Twenty years later, my dad lost the ( battle ) with cancer and died, 8 years after his

diagnoses. Then I met Randy, my husband. Now it was time to introduce Rapdy and

Chuck. Growing up, I would ( always ) have the guy who wanted to date me ( meet )

Chuck. I felt that if they could not ( cure ) him, I could not adte them. That made my

parents proud.

So, I invited Randy over and that is ( when ) I realized that Randy could be the one.

Soon we got marriede and we lived a

happy life. But still we felt ( something ) was

missing.

One

day,

Randy

(

came

up

with

)

an

idea,

“

Let

’

s

provide

a

free

weekend

for

families with special needs!

”

That night, we started talking about what we wanted to

do. We ( concluded ) that we could give them the opportunity to rest, play and receive

support from others traveling a ( similar ) road. Having these weekends was to make

it worth it because these families would know that they were not ( alone).

That was the ( start ) of what is now known as Chuck

’

s Place. Looking back today,

I truly believe I would never have found my purpose ( without ) Chuck in my life. I

do love spending time with the special-needs kids, but now what I love the most is

when I can be ( part ) of filling a need for so many families.

Leisure

（闲暇）

plays an important part in British life. There are four main reasons

for this.

First of all, people spend ( less ) time working now than they ( used to ), mostly

(

due

to

)

the

introduction

of

new

technology

in

industry.

The

normal

British

(

working

)

week

is

Monday

to

Friday,

9:30

a.m.

to

5:00p.m.,

(

although

)

some

people, especially workes, regularly work a few hours overtime each week.

Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two week

’

s paid vacation a year,

( most ) get three, and people in ( jobs) such as teaching ( even ) get ten. In addition,

there

are

six

or

more

bank

holidays

a

year

when

all

banks

and

businesses

are

( closed ). In some ( places ) the dates of these national holidays change from year to

year ( and ) in different parts of Britain.

Another reason is ( that ), thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards,

people live ( longer ) now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few

years of leisure ( left ). Nowadays, a much higher proportion is over sixty, but in this

group there are ( more ) women than men.

Finally, ( few )babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two

children.

This

is

one

result

of

changing

(

social

)

attitudes.

For

example,

(

many

)

more

married

women

now

go

out

to

work.

The

money

they

earn

inflluences

their

leisure time. Even those who ( seldom ) go out to work have more time for interesting

hobbies, ( because) most British homes have washing machines and vacuum cleaners.
