This was not going to be a Mother’s Day as before. A lot of things had changed in the last few months. Usually we would give Mom flowers and take her out for a big meal. We couldn’t afford it this year.
Since I was born, Mom had been able to stay at home with me. We always had enough money to go out to eat two or three times a week if I had behaved well.
All that changed in January.
I could tell that Dad was getting a little angry. Mom would tell me to be quiet and let him rest at night. He’d work later and later.
Beginning in February, Dad tried hard to find another job. But it wasn’t easy for him to find something at the level he used to. He could not bring in as much money. That’s when he asked my mom to go back to work.
After a couple of weeks, Mom found a full-time job at a bank. The pay would be a big help to the family, but now Mom would not be around as much. I didn’t like it. I now had to stay in the after-school care program instead of going home and playing in my neighborhood. Too bad was, as soon as I did get home, I had to help get dinner ready, because Mom wouldn’t get home until after 6:00. I really missed the past time.
a) This was not going to be a Mother’s Day as before because the writer’s father wasn’t in
b) The writer’s home used to be rich.
c) His family changed because his father was mad.
d) In February, the writer’s mother started to work at a bank.
e) The writer really wanted his mother to stay with him

As a teenager, I had a lot of anger (愤怒) and was not good at communicating with my parents.
One day, when I was getting ready for school, my mother handed me a T-shirt. It was my father's, not mine. At that time, I was taller and stronger than my father, so when I put the T-shirt on, I felt like I was being choked (窒息) in it!

Later, my mother told my father what had happened, “See what your son has done.” Instead of scolding me, my father asked my mother to repair the T-shirt. He then wore it to work the next day.
Later when my mother told me about what my father had done, I felt ashamed of my behaviour. He spent the whole day wearing a ripped T-shirt. At the same time, I was filled with great admiration for my father. His kindness taught me a life lesson I would never forget. On that day, I made a decision that I would never let anger beat me.

One day, when I was a boy, my classmates and I were going to pick berries. Before I was going out of the gate, my father called me back and said, “Harry, I want to tell you one thing. When you find a good bush (灌木), don’t leave it to try to find a better one. The other kids will run about, picking one or two berries here, and one or two there, and getting very few in the end. If you want to get more berries, stick to your bush!”
I went with my classmates and we had a good time. But it was just as my father had said. Once one of my classmates found a good bush, he called to the others, and they would leave their places and run off to see what he had found.
But I remembered my father’s words, and I stuck to my bush. When I had done with one I went to another. When night came, I had a large basketful of nice berries, more than all the others put together. Compared with my classmates, I felt more relaxed. I went home happily that night.
Now I have worked for 6 years, but I never forget the lesson my father taught me. I always stick to my bush. When I had a good place and was getting on well, I wouldn’t leave it and spend days or weeks trying to find a better place. When my friends said, “Come with us, and we will find you something better to do.” I shook my head, and stuck to my bush. Now I’m running a big company. I owe (归功于) all I have to the lesson my father taught me when he said, “Stick to your bush.”

One day at the beginning of this new term, I planned to go to the supermarket for daily use. As we got up late, I put on a deep shade of blue coat and a pair of loose white trousers at will. Then we were on our way.
While we were about to cross an overbridge, two pupils about 6 to 10 years old caught our attention. One of them said to me, “Good morning, Aunt! Thanks for your supporting the traffic rules. Please keep it up!” She gave me a red flower. Though there’s something uncomfortable, facing such a lovely girl and fresh flower, I didn’t think a lot.
In the supermarket, when I lined up waiting to pay the bill, two boys more than 17 years old came up to me and said, “Aunt, may I borrow your membership card?”...(A few seconds)
Stop! There’s something wrong. Oh my god! “Aunt”, the same word again! I was about to snarl(咆哮), but I held it. I smiled and asked them with my softest voice, “Why did you call me ‘Aunt’?” He didn’t answer.
In my deep heart, I had an impulse(冲动) to tell him aloud that I’m only 20 years old and I’m a golden-aged girl like a beautiful flower. I turned to my roommate and complained about it. She laughed loudly for a few minutes. “Look at yourself, your womanly curly hair (Ha ha), your womanly clothes. You’re nothing but an ‘Aunt’ !(Ha ha)”
I drooped(垂落) my head.
