16．Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another．Choice，we are given to believe，is a right．But for a good many people in the world．In rich and poor countries，choice is a luxury，something wonderful but hard to get，not a right．And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices，the whole system is merely an illusion，a false idea created by companies and advertiser，hoping to sell their products．
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives．Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple．Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people，ending in the shopper giving up and walking away，or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted．Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed．More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals，lifestyle instructors，or advisors．
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem，but the speed with which new types of products come on the market．Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time．The typical example is computers，which are almost out-of-date once they are bought．This indeed makes selection a problem．Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing； no choice，no anxiety．

14．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．

B．She got a pen as a gift from the author．
C．She received her Ph．D．degree．
D．She passed the required assessment．
