Passage 2　(2016·浙江)

　　话题：母亲的教育方式

　　词数：424

　　Two things changed my life：my mother and a white plastic bike basket.I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true.I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.

　　My mother and father were united in their way of raising children，but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out.Looking back，I honestly dont know how she did it.Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task，but she made it look effortless.If we complained about not having what another kid did，wed hear something like，“I dont care what so－and－so got for his birthday，you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a lavish sweet－16 party.” We had to earn our allowance(零用钱) by doing chores around the house.I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house.Like the two little girls growing up at the White House，we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done)and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep track of our belongings，and if something was lost，it was not replaced.

　　It was summer and，one day，my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window.White，shiny，plastic and decorated with flowers，the basket winked at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.
