James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 26 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 27 on earth was he going to get the 28 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 29 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 30 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 31 .
There was only one way to get money, and that was to 32 it. He would have to find a job. 33 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 34 on most things.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the 35 of James’s odd-job(零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the 36 of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the 37 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the 38 increased and he knew that he would soon have 39 for the bicycle he longed for.
The day 40 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 41 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 42 home, hoping to show his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 43 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 44 he had bought it with his own money. He had 45 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant , and ancient for a sportsman, Fifty is
a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me.Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age.but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “ Fifty is what forty used to be .”He had made an
inspirational point, Am I over the hill ?People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that he high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“ Your are not getting older, you are getting better .” says Dr.Joyce Brothers .This, however, is the kind
of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so.as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net.I am moves to share some thoughts on aging with you.I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally.Getting older.of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词).In fact , a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all :
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right , most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for
what is ahead being as good as what has gone by.I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend ( 混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher(哲学家) was right when he said .”Old is always fifteen years from now.”
