Question

【题目】It had coaster brakes and only one gear (齿轮). My two older brothers used it before me. The twenty-inch, black frame showed its age. It was scratched and nicked from years of use, but I didn't care, It was mine now.

My tricycle stood by the front steps of our house----forgotten. In the front yard.. I held the handlebars, swung my right leg over and settled myself onto the seat. My legs weren't long enough for both to touch the ground at the same time. I leaned to one side one foot supported me, I looked around, made sure no one was watching and kicked off My feet reached for the pedals and began to pump.

After a few wobbly (不稳定的))yards, I fell off, and landed on my shoulder in the grass. I jumped up, brushed myself off, got back on and fell again.

A week later, I rode in circles around the yard. Always to the left, I didn’t wobble or fall. I was steady as I followed the beaten trail ['d created in the grass. I was free and I was flying.

“Michacl!” Mum called. ‘Supper is read!’

I turned toward the front steps, wobbled and fell to the ground. I didn’t know how to go straight or to the right. I’d learned to travel in circles to the left.

A year later, I was bicycling all around the neighbourhood. At twenty years old, I left home and cried. It was a lonely time in my life. Mum wasn't there It was time to learn how to turn again. I married and became a Dad ---- I stumbled（跌跌撞撞）. There was someone else to think about new turns to stumble through.

Each time I fell. I got up, brushed myself off and turned around the obstacle (障碍). Each time I think i'm on a straight road, life throws a turn in front of me. I may fall, but I always climb back on my seat.
