14．Long ago in a small town，there was a place known as the House of 1，000 Mirrors．
A small，happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit．When he arrived，he bounced（跳）happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house．He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could．To his great surprise，he found himself staring at 1，000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his．He smiled a great smile，and was answered with 1，000 great smiles just as warm and friendly．As he left the house，he thought to himself，"This is a wonderful place．I will come back and visit often．"
In this same village，another little dog，who was not quite as happy as the first one，decided to visit the house．He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door．When he saw the 1，000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him，he growled at them and was horrified to see 1，000 little dogs growling back at him．As he left，he thought to himself，"This is a horrible place，and I will never go back there again．"

1．Bullets （子弹） are known for their ability to kill．However，not all bullets are bad．Magic bullet is something that solves a difficult problem easily．But there is not one thing that solves a difficult problem．For example，let's say a country is suffering from a weak economy．It raises various social issues．People want change and protest （抗议） in the streets．However，there is no magic bullet to cure all these problems．
To take a bullet for someone is a good thing．Well，the thought behind this expression is a good thing．It means you are willing to harm yourself to protect someone else．This often sounds like a tough expression．Mothers might not say"I'd take a bullet for my child"，but they would．People in the army，however，might say，"I'd take a bullet for you，man．"
When you sweat bullets you are very nervous or anxious about something．What does dodging a bullet mean？For example，let's say you get up late for work．Your boss has warned you that if you are late again，you may get fired．When you arrive at the office，you are sweating bullets．However，you need not worry．As it turns out，your boss is out sick that day．You have dodged a bullet．
To ease the pain of a difficult situation，people are sometimes asked to bite the bullet．What is the origin of this expression？During the Civil War，pain-killing drugs were often hard to find．So，doctors working on the battlefield would give their patients something to bite on．Many times it was a bullet．Hollywood movies helped to keep this expression alive．In old western movies，more than one cowboy was seen biting a bullet，perhaps drinking some wine，while removing an arrow from his body．In modern conversation，biting the bullet means to accept a difficult decision or situation．

4．For as early as I could remember，my mother had been a bright，cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her．However，in the last fifteen years of her life，she had to live with senile dementia （老年痴呆）．I would go to my home to pay her a visit in California and she would curiously look at me and then ask，"Who are you？"I would answer，"I'm your own son，of course．""Where do you live？"She would ask．"In Virginia"，I would tell her．"Isn't that interesting，"she would say，"I have a son in Virginia．"
Mother seemed only forgetful as well as confused at the beginning of that disease，but sometime later she would go through different time of intense anxiety．She would keep walking through the house she used to live in most of her life crying uneasily that she would like to go home．Or sometimes she left home and wandered away if she were unattended（无人照看） for a short time．
Hoping to make her happy and put her mind at ease I would take her in my car，visiting sites where she used to live when she was a child．In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn．I pictured my mother that there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of．I looked to her for some response．She shook her head and said，"I want to go home．"
Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place，but a time．I think it was a time when she was much younger，when her children were still underfoot，when her husband was still energetic and attentive．
Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have in mind if someday I couldn't find home and wanted to go there．In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy （糊涂的） minded as the years go by．At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms（症状）．My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age．Still the fear of senile dementia is haunting there．Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now，unable to drive and unable to tell you where"home"is，my dear son，I expect I will ask you to take me home，I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be．I leave these notes for your guidance．
