I       the shirt in the back of the closet and told my mum what had happened. She then dialed her         , “I will no longer work for your family,” she told him. That night, Mom told my dad that she couldn’t clean anymore; she knew her life’s       was something greater.

The next morning she        with the personnel manager at the Board of Education. He told her that without a proper education she could not teach. So mom decided to       a university.

After the first year in college, she went back to the personnel manager. He said, “You are   __    , aren’t you? I think I have a        for you as a teacher’s assistant. This opportunity deals with children who are mentally challenged with little or no chance of       .” Mom accepted the opportunity very       .

The principal said, “We have watched how you        the children and how they communicate with you and admire your hard – working        over the last five years. We are all in agreement that you        be the teacher of this class.”

My mom spent more than 20 years there.       her career, she was voted Teacher of the Year. All of this came about because of the        comment made in the classroom that day. Mom showed me how to handle        situations and never give up.

Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction(分散注意力) of TV, they might     together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our    ----everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of     illness ----are caused at least in part by     to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to     our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is     , families could discover more active pastimes(娛樂). Freed from TV and forced to find their own activities, they might take a     together to watch the sunset     they might take a walk together.

      free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in       than in a TV program.       report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,       at the college level.     is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour. A different form of reading might also be done     it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the     ends, the TV networks might be forced to     with better shows in order to get us back from our newly- discovered activities.
