"learn time slowly" because "they don't wear watches" and "parents don't really know how to teach them time."
The children grow up with this handicap and become adults and then can't get to work on time. Is there an
answer to this problem? Of course it's the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself
does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it only "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour"
hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to "blue"
minutes on the dial (钟面), while Flak points to "red" hour numbers. The characters and colors together with
parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can
throw the whole watch in the washing machine," The product is being sold in some department stores in
Europe, Asia and the United Stares for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may find that it
is odd thing to tell time; it's quite another for them to be on time.
B．parents have little idea of how to teach children time
C．children in every country learn time slowly
D．children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch
B．特点
C．失望
D．不足
B．it proves to be useful in teaching children time
C．it is made so as not to be easily broken by children
D．it is the children's favorite watch
It was near Christmas during my first term teaching at a new school. I loved my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past. They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.
Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasn’t expecting any gifts.
Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a much-loved toy monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor.” How thrilled I was!
Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother’s cupboard(碗橱).
Finally, I came to one little boy’s gift which I had never received. It was an old, dirty and broken Christmas storybook. Just when I wanted to show my happiness, I was interrupted(打断) by the giver, “And see, it is new! It still has the price tag.”
When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always news if you have not read it before. Now, Let’s read one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
I still keep those Christmas gifts. They always remind me of my lovely kids.

I was very tired. The clothes were just one thing. He had already kicked a large hole in his bedroom wall. Many windows were broken because of his breaking in to steal money. Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During those four years I had dealt with Brett as patiently as possible, but inside I was feeling sad. Later, I cheered up again and continued parenting Brett. Still, Brett did not change his behavior.
When Brett was nearly 18, my husband and I decided to send Brett to a boarding school that had very good result with troubled teenagers.
At the graduation ceremony the graduates stood one by one to thank those who had helped them. Each graduate held a rose to give to the person who had meant the most to him or her.
Brett spoke lovingly to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter what
happened.You always showed me such love. And I want you to know that I love you for “it”.
Surprised, I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me hard. At that moment I realized the truth-although I had been angry in my heart toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions.
