When I learned that 71-year-old mother was playing
Scrabble —a word game, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggests we
give her a computer to play against herself. I wasn’t sure whether my mother
was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an
electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my
parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of the
computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching
task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching
my mother how to do anything.
She has been the one teaching me all my life: to cook
and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to
give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There
was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught
on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other
games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved
to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to
write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten
pupils?” she asked.
“No, of course not,” I said.”They already know how to
use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast
personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over
his phone allergy(
过敏). For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would
answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than
we’ve had in the past 20 years.
1.What does the author do?
A.She is a cooker
B.She is a teacher
C.She is a housewife
D.She is a computer engineer
2.The author decided to give her mother a computer _____.
A.to let her have more chances to write letters
B.to support to her in doing her homework
C.to help her through the bad times
D.to make her life more enjoyable
3.The author asked her mother to write her a letter _____.
A.because her mother had stopped using the telephone
B.because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother
C.so that her mother could practice what she had learned
D.so that her mother could be free from the housework
