When

Mom
answered,
“
but
once
you
close

Then

walking toward our house. I ran to
43

the front door and banged
on it loudly.
“
Who

Billy! Let me in!
”
The voice behind the
45
answered,

Billy
doesn

t live here anymore.
He ran away from
home.
”
Glancing

mon, Mom!

m
46
your son. Let me
in!

door
inched
open

face

When kids in parts of the world want to

special
material,
ethylene-vinyl

foam
.
It

Read
the
following
three
passages.
Each
passage

A
Planning a visit to the UK?
Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS
Big sporting events,
concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of
accommodation
and
make
it
harder
to
find
a
room.
A
standard
double
room
at
the
Thistle
Brighton
on
the
final
Friday
of
the
Brighton
Comedy
Festival
(19
Oct.)
cost
?169.15
at
. A
week later, the same room cost ?118.15.
If you can be flexible and
want to know dates to
avoid
—
or
you
’
re looking for a big
event to
pass your
time
—
check out sites such as
, which allow you to search for events
in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE
STATION
If traveling to your
destination by train, you may want to find
a good base close to the station, but
you could end up paying more for the sake of
convenience
at the start of your
holiday.
Don
’
t be too
choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking
two months in advance, the
cheapest
room
at
Travelodge
’
s
Central
Euston
hotel
in London
for
Saturday 22
September was
?95.95.
A
room
just
a
tube
journey
away
at
its
Covent
Garden
hotel
was
?75.75.
And
at
Farringdon, a double room cost just
?62.95.
LOOK
AFTER YOURSELF
Really central hotels in
cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff
can
cost
a
fortune,
especially
at
weekends
and
during
big
events.
As
an
alternative
consider
checking into a self-catering flat with
its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away
on the
top floors of city centre
buildings. A great example is the historic
O
’
Neill Flat on
Edinburgh
’
s Royal
Mile, available for ?420 for five days
in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE
London
’
s
‘
Boris
bikes
’
have attracted the
most attention, but other cities also
have similar programmes that let you
rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace,
saving you on
public transport or car
parking costs.
Among the
smaller cities with their own programmes are
Newcastle (casual members pay
around
?1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to
30 minutes, or ?5 per day).

B
In my living room, there is a plaque
(
匾
) that advises me to
“
Bloom
(
开花
) where you are
planted.
”
It
reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in
the early 1980s, when I was teaching
Early Childhood Development through a
program with Union College in Barbourville,
Kentucky.
The job responsibilities
required occasional visits to the classroom of
each teacher in the program.
Dorothy
stands out in my memory as one who
“
bloomed
”
in her
remote area.
Dorothy taught
in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky,
Appalachian Mountain area. To get to
her
school
from
the
town
of
Harlan,
I
followed
a
road
winding
around
the
mountain.
In
the
eight-mile journey, I
crossed the same railroad track five times, giving
the possibility of getting
caught
by
the
same
train
five
times.
Rather
than
feeling
excited
by
this
drive
through
the
mountains, I found it depressing. The
poverty level was shocking and the
small shabby houses
gave me
the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From
the
moment
of
my
arrival
at
the
little
school,
all
gloom
(
忧郁
)
disappeared.
Upon
arriving at
Dorothy
’
s classroom. I was
greeted with smiling faces and treated like a
queen. The
children had been prepared
to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me
with a big smile
that they were serving
poke greens salad and cornbread for
“
dinner
”
(lunch). In
case you don
’
t
know, poke greens are a weed-type plant
that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of
reports of exciting activities of her students.
Her enthusiasm never
cooled down. When
it came time to sit for the testing and
interviewing required to receive her
Child Development Associate
Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the
assessment and
passed
in
all
areas.
Afterward,
she
invited
me
to
the
one-and-only
steak
house
in
the
area
to
celebrate her victory, as if she had
received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she
placed a little
box containing an old
pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom
(
传家宝
), but to me it is a
treasured symbol of appreciation and
pride that cannot be matched with things.
