I stopped to watch my lovely girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone. in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll not forget the words she said. t1.it was pretend.

She said. "Suzie's in the comer because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the comer I saw her baby doll(洋娃娃) all dressed in lace and pink. It was clear she'd been put there to sit a2.and think.

My daughter c  3.  her "conversation". as I sat down on the floor. She said. "I'm all fed up I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games too. She n4.  lets me do the things that I just have to do. She tries to help me with the dishes but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels (叠毛巾). I don't have the energy to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play. Don't you know what I mean?"

And that day I thought a lot about making some c5.in my life. as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife.  I  hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.

But now my a 6.  has changed. because in my heart. I realize I've seen the world in a different light t7.my darling's eyes. So let the cobwebs((蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dirty doll rule the floor I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore.

I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother. for we have only one childhood. and we will not get another.

Today some people call Amsterdam the "City of Bicycles" because it is a city which is flat and convenient for bicycles.

In the 1960s a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if only bicycles were allowed in the city centre. They were    that this would help to save energy. reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles    and placed them in public places around Amsterdam for people to use.    was allowed to take them and use them for short journeys whether he was a local or a foreigner.

Wherever someone finished a journey they would leave the bike there for someone else to use. The problem was that it didn't work-thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!

     more than thirty years later the "white bike" is back in town-this time with a computer chip(芯片) to    its every move! To take a bicycle you have to put a special card inside. The new "white bike" is not white any more but is an unusual design  with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them

have to take them to another place that has enough room.

There is already      traffic in central Amsterdam because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Thanks to the good ideas of lots of people like the cycling fans in the 1960s many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars for many years.
