12．Given the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers，it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn（谷仓） will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse．And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure．
My friend Velma，a teacher for more than 30 years，has been retired for some time now，but that doesn't stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School，located on her family's California farm．The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as an apple barn．Then，in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse．
Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow，it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velma's late husband and his brother，Robert and Richard，who thought it would help keep Velma busy in retirement．No nails had been used in the original construction，so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled（重装） on its new site．The brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered（斜接的） comers．After the relocation，Velma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desks．They also added a collection of schoolbooks，the oldest dating back to 1845．
Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups，who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days．She has kids ring the school bell，recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing"Good Morning to You"as they might have done in days gone by．Then，with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm，she tells the history of the school，and gives a short sample lesson．

The bridge was painted"International Orange"because that color went well with the natural surroundings．The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area．But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color．It was named for the body of water that it crosses，the Golden Gate Strait，which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean．

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937．It extends 1，280 meters across the water．The total length is 2，737 meters．It was the largest suspension bridge（吊桥） in the world until 1964．That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City．Today，the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world．

7．Dear God，
Now that I am no longer young，I have friends whose mothers have passed away．I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them．
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive．I appreciate her more each day．My mother does not change，but I do．As I grow older and wiser，I realize what an extraordinary person she is．How sad that I m unable to speak these words in her presence，but they flow easily from my pen．
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself？For the love，patience and just hard work that go into raising a child？For running after a toddler，for understanding a moody teenager，for tolerating a college student who knows everything？For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how wise her mother really is？
How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother？For being ready with advice（when asked） or remaining silent when it is most appreciated？For not saying："I told you so"，when she could have uttered these words dozens of times？For being essentially herself--loving，thoughtful，patient，and forgiving？
I don't know how，dear God，except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set．I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine．
