19、the road the other day, listening to sweet music coming out of my car radio. My heart felt peaceful, my mind was clear, and my soul was full of love. Even with all its problem: life seemed good. Then the music stopped and the news came on. There was talk of another famous millionaire in drug rehab (
20、康复) after an incident with the police. There was news on the murder of a poor man whose life was supposed to be changed after winning the lottery. There was even a discussion on how much greed and excess (放肆) had damaged our world.Every story seemed to point once again to the old saying that money c
21、ant buy happiness. Hearing them made me think of a movie I saw many years ago on Mother Teresas home for the dying in India. What struck me most when I watched it wasnt the unbearable poverty there. It wasnt the sickness and suffering that the people there were going through. It was rather the peace
22、ful smiles of love, kindness, and happiness that they shared with the Sisters and with each other. These people had nothing. Many were struggling at the end of death. Yet, they knew the simple truth that so many of us here are still learning: Joy is Free.We can have joy and spread joy everyday of ou
23、r life here. Dont love or admire dollar signs and think that money will bring you happiness then. Joy cant be purchased. It cant be owned. It can only be chosen and then given freely to others.

27、f a newspaper is this passage most probably taken from?A. Business. B. Culture. C. Life. D. Entertainment.CWhen I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem.My mother read the little poem and began to cry. “Buddy, you didnt really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!” Shyly, I said that I h
28、ad. My mother poured out her welcome praise. Why,this poem was nothing short of genius! “What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him what I had accomplished. My mother said she hoped he would be home around 7. I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for his arr
29、ival. First, I wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting. Then I used colored pens to draw a border around it. Then I confidently placed it right on my fathers plate on the dining table.But my father did not return at 7. Seven-fifteen. Seven-thirty. My father had begun his motion-picture career as
30、 a writer. He would be able to appreciate my poem even more than my mother. It was almost 8 oclock when my father burst in. He was an hour late, but he could not sit down. I can see him now, a big Havana cigar in one hand, the rapidly disappearing drink in the other, calling down bitter words on his
31、 employees Suddenly, he paused and glared at his plate. There was a silence. He was reaching for my poem. I lowered my head and stared down into my plate.“What is this?” I heard him say. “Ben, a wonderful thing has happened,” my mother said. “Buddy has written his first poem. And its beautiful, abso
32、lutely amaz-” “If you dont mind, Id like to decide that for myself,” Father said. I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. I remember wondering why it was taking so long. I could hear him dropping the poem back on the table again.Now was the moment
33、of decision.“I think its bad,” my father said. I couldnt look up. My eyes were getting wet. “Ben, sometimes I dont understand you,” my mother was saying. “This is just a little boy. Youre not in your studio now. These are the first lines of poetry hes ever written. He need encouragement.” “I dont kn
34、ow why,” my father held his ground. “Isnt there enough bad poetry in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.” I couldnt stand it another second. I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried. That may have been the end of the anecdote(轶事) but not of its significanc
35、e for me. A few years later I took a second look at that first poem, and unwillingly I had to agree with my fathers tough judgment. It was a pretty bad poem. After a while, I worked up the courage to show him something new, a short story. My father thought it was overwritten but not hopeless. I was
36、learning to rewrite. And my mother was learning that she could disapprove of me without ruining me. You might say we were all learning. I was going on 12.As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been to have had a mother who sai
37、d, “Buddy, its wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with his, “I think its bad.” In fact all of us in life need that mother force, the loving force from which all creation flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete, even misleading, finally damaging, without
38、the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.” Between the two poles of affirmation (肯定) and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course.29.What did the mother think of the Buddys poem? A. She was so moved that she cried.B. She thought the poem was well written.C.
