2016年浙江高考英语阅读理解D篇翻译
Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic
bike basket. Two things changed my life: my mother and a white
plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and
it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t
turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry
with me today.

My mother and father were united in their way of raising
children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it
out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it.
Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task.,
but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not
having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I
don’t care what so –and –so got for his birthday, you are
not getting a TV in your room a car for your birthday a lsvish
sweet 16 party.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores
around the house. I can stil l remember how long it took to
polish the legs of our coffee brothers can no doubt
remember hours spent cleaning the house .Like the two little
girls growing up at the White House,we made our own beds (no
one left the house unitil that was done)and picked up after
had to keep track of our belongings ,and if
something was lost ,it was not replaced.



It was summer and ,one day ,my mother drove me to the bike
shop to get a tire fixed---and there it was in the window,
White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers ,the basket
winked at me and I knew ----I knew---I had to have it.

“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to
her,”What a neat basket.”

I tried to hold off at first ,I played it cool for a short
then Iguess I couldn’t atand it any longer:“Mon,
please can I please ,please get it? I ‘ll do extra chores for
as long as you say, I’ll do anything ,but I need that basket,I
love that ,Mom .Please?”

I was desperate.

“You know,” she said ,gently rubbing my back while we both
stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever,”If you
save up you could buy this yourself.”

“By the time I make enough it’ll bu gone!”

“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at
Roger ,the bike guy.

“He can’t hold it for that long ,Mom .Someone else will buy
it .Please,Mom,Please?”

“There might be another way,”she said.



And so our paying plan mother bought the beautiful
basket and put it safely in some hiding place I could’t
week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by
extra work here and there (washing the car ,helping my mother
make dinner, delivering or collevting things on my bike that
already looked naked without the basket in front).And
then ,weeks later ,I counted ,re-counted and jumped for joy.
Oh ,happy day ! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d
agreed upon….

Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d
played with millions of times appeared with the exact same
basket fixted to her shiny ,new bike that already had all the
bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother
about this horrible turn of events.

And then came the lesson . I’ve taken with me through my
life:”Honey, Your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently
wiping away my hot tears.”Your basket is special because you
paid for it yourself.”
