19、Owing a bike was a big deal to our children when they were little. They spent hours and hours, day after day. on their bikes, riding up and down the footpath, and at the front of the house.

20、e fresh air without spending any money.Bradley discovered that his bicycle had been stolen from our backyard, when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride. He couldn't believe that someone would do this.He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be ret

21、urned, and tied the sign to the letterbox. The following morning when I went out to collect the mail, I found a white envelope with the magical words "Buy yourself a new bike ” It. was a $100 banknote inside.We were very moved that someone had the heart to do this. We've never been able to

22、thank the person but we think that it may be one of our wonderful neighbors. Bradley painted a big “ Thank you ” on the sign and we left it outisde for a couple of weeks afterwards in case it was someone who drove down our street. A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle. As the years went

23、on, bicycles became bigger and more expensive but were still important for those family bicycle riders. Now the kids have grown up and cars have taken the place of their bicycles. Bradley is 25. Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them.All these year

28、 missing bicycle D. Bradley 's wish松江Most people cannot choose their jobs. They only have their jobs forced upon （ 被迫）them. This may be because they haven't enough training for any other job, or because of economic situation, or because they live in a place where there is a limited choice of

29、 jobs, or because their fathers and grandfathers have always followed a certain occupation. The Indian born of farmer parents in a village has, for example, few opportunities of becoming anything but a farmer.But if one is lucky enough to be able to choose the job one is going to do, how should one

30、make one's choice? One's choice clearly depends on what one wants to get out of one's job.Some people believe that nobody can do a job well if they do not enjoy it. But this is probably true only of certain types of work. And there are those who have an ability for turning their job into

Some doctors, for example, who become rich and famous men are in fact not owning humanity （ 人性）which is necessary in their job, and may even not be especially skilled at their job. So are some

32、lawyers. Perhaps many of the best doctors, lawyers, and teachers spend their lives working so hard for others that do not have time to become rich and famous.
