"Mum,you're always on the computer!" Laure com-planu'd.
"No,I'm not. " I 33 .
"Every day I come home from school you're working on the computer.”
"Well,at least I'm here 34 you!"
My daughter was right. Day after day. in my home office,I would stare into space as my 35 typed out the thoughts of a speaker or research completed for an ar?ticle. It seemed that my work as a writer and speaker 36 my fingers to the keyboard and my mind to valua?ble ideas. What Laure did not 37 was that during her day away,I'd also be doing a lot of housework. It was only around three in the afternoon that I'd 38 seat myself at my desk for a few 39 moments of deep thought. Then she'd come in from school.
I was 40 of myself on being available to my chil?dren. After all,I am a speaker on child behaviour and par?enting. But Laure's observation 41 my heart. In her eyes,I must have been a mom who was 42 but unap?proachable. I wouldn't make such an image (形象) before her. My relationship with my children is more 43 than any other work.
"Laure," I called, "come here a minute.” She wandered to my doorway. I had decided to have her 44 me when I was too devoted to work. I wanted her to have the 45 to let me know when she thought I was cold.
After I explained my 46 and the fact that I chose home office to be accessible to her and her sister,I offered Laure the following 47 .
"Whenever you feel I'm ignoring you or you need my 48 ,I want you to 49 me," I said, "just come up and give me a little hug,that'll be our signal that you 50 me.” Years later we still have that 51 sign. I've be- come much more sensitive to my daughters' comings and goings. 52 she always gives me a little hug to remind me of the real reason I work at home.

I remember my mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12 ,enough to remember her language. She achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science,she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches.
It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born,I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents' voices,whether it was my dad's soft accent,or my mother's clear English. The flow of language was unbroken,and whether in Chinese or English,the stream of communication flowed through our house.
One October morning in sixth grade,after my mother had left to catch the train to the city,I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car,the door hanging open. As I drew closer,I saw my mother lying on the ground.- In the hospital,it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mum. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colours,it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear,but the words she spoke were not what she meant.
The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it,identity does not exist;relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told;di?rections cannot be given,and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. With?out language* communication cannot take place. Without language,one cannot ex?press the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.

A. the author was taught to read since she was born
B. the author's father spoke English poorly
