When I was two-and-a-half years old I was adopted (收养) by a white couple who already had two biological sons. I am gratefulfor my parents and two brothers but growing up was sometimes difficult.Nearly everyone living in our neighborhood was white. Children sometimes teased (逗笑) me and called me names because I was black...because I was different... and because Ididn’t know who my biological parents were.Adults could also be cruel. Sometimes they would refuse to acknowledge my parents as my real parents. It was difficult to understand such an attitude but as I grew older I beganto realize that they simply didn’t understand that my parents had CHOSEN to raise me. Ialso realized that being an adopted child didn’t make my own family less real or lessvaluable.Now that I am older, I can see that I was lucky to be adopted. In North America, most couples who adopt children want newborn babies. When a child is older than two or three,it becomes more difficult for him or her to be adopted.Children who cannot find parents to adopt them are placed in foster (收养) homes.Foster children do not become legal members of the family and may live with severaldifferent families while they are growing up.Fortunately this didn’t happen to me. As an adopted child, I grew up as part of a family and with the same security as a child born to the family. My parents are my parentsand my brothers are my brothers. I can’t imagine calling anyone else “mother” and “father”or “brother”. “Adoption” is a word for outsiders.56.

You may even have entered the shop just to find shelterfrom a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of yoursurroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irresistible, althoughthis method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a ratheruninteresting book. You soon become lost in some book or other, and usually it is onlymuch later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keepsome forgotten appointment --- without buying a book, of course.The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop isvery much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a goodshop, no as sistant will approach you with the greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’tbuy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the backgrounduntil you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is.Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistantshould leave politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.61.
