My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea.As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 31 those we had grown to love.We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again 32 at the pier (码头) waving good-bye to my father as his 33 pulled him away from us.My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 34 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 35 in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing 36 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother.For both my 37 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher.She played these roles while 38 some type of part-time job.Leaving a promising career is just one of the 39 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 40 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, 41 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 42 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 43 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability (无能) to 44 a career or establish a home.But it was not for my mother.She turned this 45 into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to 46 another part of the world.My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood.Each new house was a 47 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 48 pictures.Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 49 attitude.She always had strength in the face of struggle and change.My mother was so 50 all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change.She is my hero.

In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren ”, John Keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs ,which are independent of what others have , and relative needs ,which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market Priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
