Mom's Recipe for Life

I have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put，like the

pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card， nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.

My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude

continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.

As a teen，I was embarrassed(尷尬的 )every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回 應(yīng) )with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.

What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there， she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip， I asked her how it went.

“ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old

man，and not one word was spoken.”

I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.

“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.

“ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a

seat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day? I noticed a few shy smiles.”

Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，the

whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.

When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation， most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.

She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the

smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.

When people talk about air pollution, they usually think of smog, acid rain(酸性雨),and other forms(形式) of outdoor air pollution.

Football

Ancient Chinese, Roman and Egyptian writings help you know about games played by kicking a ball. We also know that in the twelfth century, in some English towns, on certain days of the year, hundreds of young men would kick a ball around the streets. Unluckily, fight often resulted. People were hurt and even killed. In 1314, such games were not allowed because they were too dangerous.

The game we now know as football developed in England in the early nineteenth century. Football was played in many schools and clubs as early as 1823. These schools and clubs often had different rules, but in 1863, the Football Association or FA was created, and standard rules were agreed for everyone to follow. These are the rules that many parts of the world use for football today. In 1871, a cup was given for the best English club, called the FA Cup. Football soon spread across the world.

In the United States and Canada, however, a different type of football game developed, where the football players could pick the ball up and carry it. The ball is also in a different shape. In American football there is also more violent contact (激烈交鋒) between players, who have to wear special clothing to protect themselves.

Football is now certainly the most popular game on earth. Why is that? One reason may be that it’s a simple game. All we need is a ball, and a few things to mark the goals. It’s a more relaxed game which can be enjoyed by just a few people of any age, on any piece of ground or even in the street. Another reason may be that it allows people to show their special skills. Some footballers become very rich and famous, like David Beckham. For this reason, many young people dream of becoming football stars and getting very rich. Television too has made football more popular. Millions of people can watch international matches such as the World Cup, which is held every four years.

1.What helps you know about games played by kicking a ball?

2.Where did the football game develop in the early 19th century?

3.When were the football standard rules made for everyone to follow?

4.Why do American football players have to wear special clothing?

5.Why is football now the most popular game on earth?

1.Ancient Chinese, Roman and Egyptian writings. 2.In England. 3.In 1863. 4.To protect themselves (from the violent contact). 5.One reason may be that it’s a simple game and another one may...
