in our home,it was natural to fear our father这篇文章
In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Money.在1979年的11月份,在英国的小学生能够看一部叫做猴子的电视节目。
Most of them were hearing this story for the first time.他们当中大多数人是第一次听到这个故事。
However, this story is not new to Chinese children.然而,这个故事对于中国的小孩子并不陌生。 The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.齐天大圣或者孙悟空是这本中国传统书籍《西游记》的主角。
The Monkey King is not just any normal monkey.齐天大圣并不是一只普通的猴子。
In fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey!事实上,他有时看起来甚至不像猴子。 This is because he can make 72 changes to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects.这是因为他会把他的形状大小进行72变,把自己变成不同种动物或物体。 But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a person.但是除非他能藏得住尾巴,不然他就不能把自己变成一个人。
To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick.为了和坏人斗争,齐天大圣用他的魔法棒。
Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear.有时,他可以把棒变得如此小以至于他可以将它藏在他的耳朵里。
At other times, he is able to make it big and long.有些时候,他能把它变大变长。
The Monkey King has excited the children of China for many years.齐天大圣这些年来使中国小孩们都很兴奋。
And as soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.在30年多年以前,当这部电视节目一出版时,西方的小孩对阅读这个故事产生了兴趣,因为聪明的齐天大圣一直都在努力去帮助弱小的人,而且从不放弃。

瓦苏是一只年轻的猩猩。但她并不是一只普通的猩猩,科学家们在她身上做了研究。他们想看看瓦苏所能达到的文明程度到哪个级别。因为她已经做了只有人类可以做的到的很多事情。
例如,她一直在学习怎么样可以通过信息和人类进行交流。科学家们教她一些符号语言。当她想被抱起来的时候,瓦苏会竖起自己的一个手指头。当她想刷牙的时候,她会用一根手指头摩擦自己的牙齿,这是每次吃完饭之后必备做的动作。瓦苏还被训练去思考问题并解决问题。她曾经被置于一间天花板上挂有食物的房间里面,食物挂的很高而够不着,当她思考之后,她就拿来一个纸箱以增加高度,不过这个食物还是太高了而够不着。瓦苏找了一个杆子。她爬上了纸箱,拿到了杆子,用竹竿敲下了食物。瓦苏生活得也像人类,科学家们把她放到一个全配家具的房子里面,在实验室忙碌的一天之后,她就回家了。在那儿她玩玩具。她甚至在睡觉之前要看一下电视。
科学家们希望通过对这个人类最近的近亲-猩猩的研究而能够对人类了解得更多。
sister and I thought every family was like that. Every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible
to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children.
We were good children. Mom was always telling us we were, even if Daddy couldn't see it . part of
this was because we didn't dare to do anything.
Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We worked at drawing with chalk on our wooden front door and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We thought Mom
would love it and praise us.
The praise we expected did not come. Instead, Mom was mad. We did not understand why, but we
knew we were in big trouble!
Off we ran to find a place to hid. In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find
safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voices of Mom
and our neighbors calling out to us.
The sun set and it began to get dark. Those around us became more anxious, and we became more
frightened. However, we still didn't move.
As we clung (紧紧拥抱) together in the dark, we became aware of yet another voice, one we
recognized with great fear: our daddy. But there was something strangely different about it. In it we heard
something we had never heard before: fear, agony (痛苦) and despair. Then came his prayers in tearful
voice. Our daddy was promising God that he would give his life to him if he would safely return his girls.
Nothing in our lives had prepared us for this kind of shock. Neither of us remembers making a
decision to come out. We were drawn to him like a magnet (磁铁), our fears disappearing into the forest. We didn't know yet if we actually took steps or if God somehow moved us out and into Daddy's arms.
What we do remember were those strong, loving arms holding us and crying, hugging us like we were
precious.
Things were different after that. We had a new daddy. Our whole family was changed by a piece of
chalk.
