My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds．But they thought 16 ．My complaints, even self-justified（自有道理） 17 , were always landing on 18 ears．Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their 19 into tears．I felt very annoyed．I realized I needed to 20 my method of “mothering”.

One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms．On their desks, in simple 21 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill（the other card was 22 to Sarah）, your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean．Love, the Room Fairy（小精灵）.” 23 arriving back, the children were 24 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy．The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy．Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy 25

for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 26 asking them to play a certain violin 27 ．Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 28 ．

Sometimes the Room Fairy would offer a little 29 : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left

in 30 of well-done jobs the day 31 .

32 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes．When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its （贴条）．The bathroom mirror became the 33 centre of our home．Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be 34 ．

Jordan Retirement

I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball．It won't be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature1．

Mentally, I'm exhausted; I don't feel I have a challenge．Physically, I feel great．The last time in 1993 I had other agendas．I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it．And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that．

Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted．I didn't know if I would play next year．I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season．And Jerry, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 1993 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision．I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach．And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time, mentally finding the challenge for myself．Although he can somehow present challenges for me．I don't know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season．Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired．So I can't say that he would have restored that． I will support the Chicago Bulls．I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan.

36．The underlined sentence tells us Michael Jordan will retire from any games.

37．Michael Jordan once made an announcement of his retirement.

38．Michael Jordan isn’t strong enough to continue his games.

39．Michael Jordan thinks the game itself is more important than the player.　　

40．The main reason for Michael Jordan’s retirement is that the coach have had him suffered a tough time.
