34、ld daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of 1977, and told me so. Yes，she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella，books，long nightgown，slippers-fine. But really，there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories.This was a surprise. Rebecc

35、a was not a Barbie girl，preferred stuffed animals to dolls，and wasnt drawn to play in a structured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules， design-my-own-world， do-it-my-way kid. Maybe，I thought，the point wasnt Barbie but the house，which she could claim，for herself，since wed already moved five times

36、 during her brief life.Next day，I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there. 3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop on All Floors! Some Assembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born，I was raised in apartment buildings in a fam

37、ily that didnt build things. A few years earlier，Id spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts.

38、 remind me of my limitations，a tornado(龙卷风) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve.

39、ost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping-if，in fact，she was sleeping-added a layer of challenge . By dawn I was done.Shortly thereafter，my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may not be real ，but her delight was utterly

40、 genuine and moves me. to this day，34 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to do something. I didnt think I could do.

45、g deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again , to have a tiger in the tank，but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter.

It takes the mostgood-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected touncivilized behavior. A f

47、riendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to anact of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions.

48、en they see it.Contrary to general opinion，young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say t

49、hey have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars toovertake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. Theycouldnt be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recentl

50、y drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps. Theymanufacture them by force，using their direction indicators as a threat rather than awarning. Punch-ups(打群架) arequite common. It cant be long before we hear ofpistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a stat

51、e of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be，he cant be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.43.

55、has changed over the last 50 years，not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at the source and production practices of the companies producing the worlds food suppl

56、ies.The purpose of organic food information is to give you an understanding of what is going into your food. You will see that there are many benefits to organic food that you didnt know before. The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using a

57、rtificial fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂) to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.Even the qu

62、ing organic product，not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eat produce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you will never return to the mass-produced fruit again.
