Childhood was an illusion (错觉）and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”

Funfairs (游乐场） were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.

As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion?

I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. He was famous because of the books he wrote for children. They combine funny words, pictures, and social opinions.

Dr Seuss wrote his first book for children in 1937. It is called And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. A number of publishers refused to publish it. They said it was too different.

One day a young man called Jim was told to take the 21 examination the next day. He was 22 so much that he couldn’t get to sleep. He wouldn’t join the army because he was in love with a beautiful girl. “If only I could find a 23 to make the doctor believe there is something 24 with my body,” he thought and thought. Suddenly, a good idea crossed his mind.

The next morning Jim got to the 25 on time and was led into a large room. He hurriedly found a seat to sit down and took out an out-of-date newspaper, 26 to read it. Soon it was his turn to be examined. When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him. Then in a 27 he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there. No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is 28 up to the standard.”

“How can you draw such a 29 like that before you give me a 30 check? Jim shouted at the doctor.

“Don’t be impetuous(冲动), young man! Put on your clothes, and then I’ll 31 it to you,” the doctor said 32 .“You said we didn’t examine you carefully, but I don’t think it

It shows you can see any subject within a certain distance. 35 , you were found reading the newspaper just now, and we are certain you are a man of intelligence.

36 , you’re perfect in mind and body.”

Half a year later, Jim was killed on the battlefield. At the news his girlfriend nearly went

37 . She kept weeping. “Don’t be like that, my dear.” It was an old man’s 38 voice. “Your Jim died a real man. He 39 his life to the people all over the world. It is right that we should be proud of him…” Saying this, the old man, her father, was choked(哽咽). His only 40 was that he had never had Jim know who he was. This old man was the medical officer who had given Jim the health check.
