    　　Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they will constantly be on call as entertainers for their children．They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids．But their own kids seem different, less resourceful, somehow．When there's nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with any thing to do besides turning on the TV．

    　　One father, for example, says．“When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games．We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, ‘I have nothing to do!’” He compares this with his own children today： “They're simply lazy．If someone doesn't entertain them, they'll happily sit there watching TV all day．”

    　　There is one word for this father's disappointment： unfair．It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language．He deplores his children's lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate(天生的)that his children are missing．In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play, to imagine, to invent, and to elaborate on reality in a playful way and the ability to gain fulfillment from it are skills that have to be learned and developed．

    　　Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive．Sensing their parents' disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect．Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people．

    　　The rain was coming down in sheets．It was already after 8∶30 a.m., and I was late for an important meeting．I was dressed up high heels and everything, so I called for a cab, thinking that would be faster than the subway．

    　　It wasn't．

    　　After a long wait, I finally got a cab, but the traffic was moving at a snails pace, and the driver stopped to pick up another customer along the way．

    　　I was really going to be late．I looked at my watch every 10 seconds．Then, just as the traffic started moving, the driver spotted a man up ahead in a wheelchair．

    　　“________!”the driver cried, and began to pull over．

    　　I could see another 20 minutes waiting, the whole period of lifting him into the cab, folding up his chair and fitting it into the cab's small trunk then dropping him off who knows where, and everyone at work staring as I went into the meeting room mid-morning．

    　　“What are you doing?!”I exclaimed to the driver．

    　　As the words came out of my mouth, I wanted to take them back．The wrongness of my reaction started to sink in, and it shocked me．I almost wasn't sure who that person was who had just spoken．

    　　The driver ignored me, and as I sat there in the back seat, he stopped the cab and got out, as did the other passenger, to attend to the man．

    　　I got out of the cab and fled for the nearest subway station．As I ran, I understood that, while it wasn't incumbent on me to take the time to help the man into the cab, I shouldn't have complained about the driver stopping．I should have been able to see beyond my impatience to attend to what was most inerrant．When I thought about it at the times, and when I think about it now, this is my analysis：While I am not a particularly self centeredness that living a busy life in a big, fast paced city can promote．

    1．Why was the author impatient that morning?(Please answer within 10 words．)

    　　My father was a keen baseball fan．Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park and pitched balls for me to hit．

    　　One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play．My dad was over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game．The woman explained that her son had polio(小儿麻痹症)and wouldn't be able to get out of the chair．That didn't stop my dad．He placed the bat in the youngster's hand, pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat．Then he yelled out to me, "Anne, pitch one in to us．"

    　　I saw the delight in the boy's eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly．The ball made contact with the bat(球拍)with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy．As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game．

    　　An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy．Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next Saturday and we would play another game．

    　　Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came．Twenty years passed, with my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood Before moving I decided to take one last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments．Two Little League teams were on the field just about to start a game．I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game．

    　　"Jeff, protect your base," one coach yelled．I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield．The coach turned and smiled, "I never thought I’d ever be a coach playing on this field．You see, I had polio as a child and was restricted to a wheelchair．Thanks to a man's assistance, I was able to hit the ball and hear him singing the song Take Me Out to the Ball Game．I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again．I hope that some day I'll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again．I sure would like to thank him．"
