“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “None.”

“Where did you go?”

“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.” “What did you do?”

Uncle Allen put in, “I've decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he　 paid me a nickle(五分镍币)．It was the first nickle I earned.

“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you'll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that,as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines.Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother, dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.

Health insurance(保险) can be very expensive. Some working people do not make enough money to pay for it. In the US there is a program called Healthy Families. This program offers people health insurance at a low cost.
