     A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.
     All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake(分享,参与)
of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.
     The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his
black tuxedo(礼服). Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
     A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a
while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a list
of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we
can fix them together and make our lives happier together."
     The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of
the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the
day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they
decided that they would go over their lists.
     "I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three
pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were
starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
     "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
     The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly
placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
     "Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said
happily.
     Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the
way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful
and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty
and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
     In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We
don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light
and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when
we can look around us, and see the wondrous(奇妙的) things before us?

　　Few people hate homework more than Alfie Kohn, author of The Homework Myth．There is a hot discussion across the country：does homework really improve school results? A growing number of educators say no．

　　“We always think it is worth it,”says Kohn,“and homework will improve their school results and give them good study skills, but the research(研究)shows it is just not so．No study has ever found any academic benefit(学业上的成效)of assigning(布置)homework before kids are in high school．and even in high school the case is very weak．”

　　But how could hours of reading, writing and solving math problems not help kids to learn? We asked tenth graders at the Galloway School, in Atlanta．

　　“I learn everything that I need to in class,”says 16-year-old Matt Ritchie．“And it is really unnecessary to do homework．It is just boring．”

　　“If I listen in class and take good notes, I usually do well on tests,”explains his classmate Paige Solomon,“So I don’t think it is helpful－if anything, it just makes me kind of fearful of going to that class．”

　　“I’m usually in a bad mood when I have a lot of homework,”says 16－year－old Carter Parder,“because I stay up later．And then I’m groggy the next day．”

　　According to Kohn, even if kids learn a little through homework, the cost is too high．Homework may kill a student’s interest in learning．If kids seem to be sinking(陷入)under a mountain of work, parents should intervene(干涉)．Most adults wouldn’t want to work eight hours a day, and then come home to hours of extra work．Kids are no different．

As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart．We always had totally different opinions．He thought that college was a waste of time，but for me it was important to finish college．He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field，but l wanted a different life．There was a time when we did not talk with each other．

A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health．When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him，I knew he was seriously ill．I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement．

Two weeks after moving back，we bought a boat and started fishing again．Fishing was one of the few things that we did while l was young and that we both enjoyed．It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us．We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before．Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart．

It is not important how many fish we catch．It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years．I’m 62 and he is 84．When we are on the lake fishing，it is like two kids enjoying life．It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind．I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years．Now my heart is filled with love．A smile always graces my lips．
