I remember we went ot visit Chuck in the institution (福利院) and found him I very dirty clothes. “Why would they not ( change ) him? ” I wondered. I think my dad thougth that as well because Chuck started staying with us more, ( eventually ) living with us. Chuck was never a ( normal ) boy, being severely mentally ill. Every day I ( walked ) him around the block and people would stare and how ( embarrassed ) I felt thinking they were talking about us. I remember one day I ran home crying, asking my parents why they had to be so ( mean ). After all, Chuck didn’t ( ask for ) this condition, neither did my parents.

Twenty years later, my dad lost the ( battle ) with cancer and died, 8 years after his diagnoses. Then I met Randy, my husband. Now it was time to introduce Rapdy and Chuck. Growing up, I would ( always ) have the guy who wanted to date me ( meet ) Chuck. I felt that if they could not ( cure ) him, I could not adte them. That made my parents proud.

So, I invited Randy over and that is ( when ) I realized that Randy could be the one. Soon we got marriede and we lived a happy life. But still we felt ( something ) was missing.

One day, Randy ( came up with ) an idea, “Let’s provide a free weekend for families with special needs!” That night, we started talking about what we wanted to do. We ( concluded ) that we could give them the opportunity to rest, play and receive support from others traveling a ( similar ) road. Having these weekends was to make it worth it because these families would know that they were not ( alone).

That was the ( start ) of what is now known as Chuck’s Place. Looking back today, I truly believe I would never have found my purpose ( without ) Chuck in my life. I do love spending time with the special-needs kids, but now what I love the most is when I can be ( part ) of filling a need for so many families.

Leisure（闲暇）plays an important part in British life. There are four main reasons for this.

First of all, people spend ( less ) time working now than they ( used to ), mostly ( due to ) the introduction of new technology in industry. The normal British ( working ) week is Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00p.m., ( although ) some people, especially workes, regularly work a few hours overtime each week.

Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two week’s paid vacation a year, ( most ) get three, and people in ( jobs) such as teaching ( even ) get ten. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are ( closed ). In some ( places ) the dates of these national holidays change from year to year ( and ) in different parts of Britain.

Another reason is ( that ), thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live ( longer ) now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure ( left ). Nowadays, a much higher proportion is over sixty, but in this group there are ( more ) women than men.

Finally, ( few )babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing ( social ) attitudes. For example, ( many ) more married women now go out to work. The money they earn inflluences their leisure time. Even those who ( seldom ) go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies, ( because) most British homes have washing machines and vacuum cleaners.

It’s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. That’s especially ( true )of children who remain in homes where they’re badly treated ( because ) the law blindly favors biological parents. It’s also true of children who ( suffer ) for years in foster（寄养）homes because of parents who can’t or won’t care for them but ( refuse ) to give up custody（监护）rights.

Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays ( fits ) neither description. but her recent xourt victory could ( eventually ) help children who do. Kimberly has been the ( object ) of an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ( ruled ) that the teenager can remain with the only father she’s ever known and that her biological parents have “ no legal ( claim )” on her.

Shortly after ( birth ) in December 1978, Kimerly Mays and another baby were mistakenly switched and sent home with the ( wrong ) parents. Kimberly’s biological parents, Emest and Regina Twiggs, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tests ( showed ) that the child wasn’t the Twiggs’own daughter, but Kim only was, thus leading to a custody ( battle ) with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families ( agreed ) that Mr.Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting ( visiting ) rights. Those rights were ended when Mr.Mays decided that Kimberly was being ( harmed ).

The decision to ( leave ) Kimberly with Mr.Mays caused heated discussion. But the judge made it clear that Kimberly did have the right to sue（起诉）( on ) her own behalf. Thus he made it clear that she was ( more than ) just a personal possessjon of her parents. Biological parentage does not mean an absolute ownership that cancels all the ( rights ) of children. When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

The furthest distance in the world Is not between life and death But when I stand in front of you

Yet you don't know that I love you.

The furthest distance in the world Is not when I stand in front of you Yet you can't see my love

But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together.

The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while being in love But when I plainly cannot resist the yearning Yet pretending you have never been in my heart. The furthest distance in the world Is not struggling against the tides But using one's indifferent heart To dig an uncrossable river For the one who loves you.
