  Everyone staying at a certain place long enough needs to know where the toilet is.I’m no exception.I tried to   1   one when I first visited the Divinity School Library in Yale University.I tried to find the   2   or words familiar to me such as WC, Ladies, Bathroom, and Washroom, etc.I used all the   3   I had about toilet, but I could not find one.My   4   sense told me that there must be toilets in the library, so I   5   trying.Finally I found a door on which was a   6   word; women.

  Although it did not   7   at all like a toilet, I guessed it must be one.And because I couldn’t   8   any longer, I had to try it.As I opened the door, I was   9   I made a mistake, so I came out immediately.For what I had entered was a room much larger than my living room in Beijing, with a standing lamp   10   a table on a beautiful green carpet(地毯).On one side of the room, there was a sofa.Behind it there was a   11   on the wall up to the ceiling.In one corner was a clothes hanger and in   12   was a big pot of green plants.It looked like a big sitting room.There was no sign of a toilet, but it was the only   13   place a toilet could be.Then I remembered that there was another door, so I went back in and opened the door.And   14   it was! I found it at last! The toilet room was only half the   15   of the outer room.It had only two seats with two sinks.It was like a two room flat in Beiwai.

  After I relieved(使轻松)myself, another question came to me:since it was   16   in such a big library to have only one toilet, I had to   17   someone about toilets.A “Rest Room” is   18   a toilet.The “Rest Room” had only one seat and it was unisex, which   19   that both men and women could use it by   20   the door from inside.

  One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister.On this occasion, the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend.I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children.Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.

  I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out.I called home with this happy news.But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.

  It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone.“I'll give him a lesson,”I said.I decided they must be outside.Why they might be outside at 10∶30 on a winter night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.

  Finally, in desperation, I called his girlfriend's house.After what seemed like countless rings, his girlfriend answered.“Yes,”she said brightly,“He's right here.”

  He came on the phone.I was not my usual calm, rational(理智的)self.After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can't trust modern teenagers.“Where are the children?”I said.He said they were with him.They had done nothing wrong.My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's house just for ice cream and cake.This was too good to be believed.Well, it turns out that I shouldn't have believed it.It was only part of the truth

  The following Saturday evening we were at my parents'home, celebrating my birthday.My oldest son gave me the children's gifts.Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions.They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son's girlfriend.

  One day, my wife suggested I take another woman out.

  The woman was my widowed(寡居的)mother, but the   1   of my work and my three children had made it   2   to visit her only occasionally.That night I called to invite her to go out for   3   and a movie.

  My mother was the type of woman who   4   that a surprise invitation was a sign of bad news, but anyway, she   5   it.

  That Friday after work, when I reached her house, I   6   that she wore the dress she had worn to   7   her last wedding anniversary.

  "I told my friends about our date, and they were   8  ,” she said.

  We went to a restaurant and she took my   9   as if she were the First Lady.After we sat down, I had to read the menu.Her eyes could   10   read large print.

  “It was I who had to read the menu when you were   11  ," she smiled.
