I was out for an evening with a friends getting the relief from pressure and catching up on our lives.We got around to the subject of books.
"When do you read?" my friend asked me.My mind took off on a fast journey through my bookshelves and piles of books.I know some people make artsy towers and pyramids out of books,but I'm not that kind of woman.Mine are just…stacks(摞).Stacks on end tables,stacks on the floor.
When do I read?I read when I'm happy.I read when I'm bored.I read when I'm defeated I read when I'm filled with anxiety.My self-medication for the thoughts is not exercise or alcohol,but Jane Austen.I absolutely must slow down the pace of my thoughts when living through a walk to the town Meryton in Pride and Prejudice.I read to visit places I'll never see in real life.Thank you,Vikram Seth,for making me completely involved in 1950s India.Thank you,Khaled Hosseini,for giving me a chance to see 1970s Afghanistan.I read when I want to travel back in time.If I want to hang out in the early 1900s high society of New York City,I'll spend some time with Edith Wharton.I read when I'm recalling the good old days.Many of my favorite books of childhood are still my favorite books.I read when I get so addicted to an author that I want to read everything she has ever written,including her Christmas cards and grocery lists.
Of course,I didn't say any of these things to my friend I stared at her with a blanks foolish look.
"When do I read?" I repeated.
"Yes.When do you find time?" she asked.
"When?Evenings.Bedtime.Dinnertime,if I'm eating alone.Sunday afternoons.Moments stolen here and there.And now if you'll excuse me,I have a date with Mr.Hemingway," I said.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
