One day, a teacher was speaking to a group of students about how to 1 their time.
He gave an example those students would never forget.
He pulled out a wide jar(罐子) and put it on the table. He also took out several rocks and carefully put them into the jar one at a time. When no more rocks would 2 inside, he asked, "Is this jar full "
Everyone in the class shouted, "Yes." The teacher replied, "Really " He pulled out a box of small stones. He dumped some in and 3 the jar. The stones went down into the spaces 4 the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is this jar full "
"Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He brought out a glass of sand and dumped the sand into the jar and it went into all of the space 5 . Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full "
"No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he poured a cup of water in 6 the jar was full. Then he asked, "What is the key point here " One student put up his hand and said, "The key point here is that even if you are busy, you can 7 plan everything well if you try really hard! "
‘‘No," the speaker replied, "that’s not the point. The point is if you don’t put the big rocks in 8 , you'll never get them in. What are the big rocks in your 9 Time with your loved ones, your education, or your dreams Remember to put these big rocks in first, or you'll never get them in 10 .”

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story__1__ their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a good children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 2 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 3 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are 4 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the child who hears the story and the adult who read it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, 5 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 6 to solve.
This may be why many of the books regarded as woks of children’s literature were in factwritten for 7 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often8 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a library and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 9 to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so10 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥协）over the bedtime story.

When I was small, there was a children’s book called The Happy Family, and it was a real piece of work. Dad worked all day long at the office, Mom cooked in the kitchen, and brother and sister always had friends sleeping over. The image (形象) of the family in this book was typical (典型的) of the time. It looked 2 _ like my family, but luckily that wasn’t the way I heard it. The way my aunt Marion read it to me made the story really 3 _ .
Kind-hearted and open-minded, my aunt was the one who played baseball with me, who took me horseback riding, who took me to the father-son dinners and who gave me lessons on how to drive. Believing that anything unusual was probably good for me, she 4 _ to get a loan (贷款) so that I could go to Africa to work as a volunteer, which was my most important experience.
As a young girl, Aunt Marion always planned to have a large number of children of her own, but she never got married. This 5 _ that she was free to spend all her time taking care of me. Many people say we have a lot in common. She always 6 _ me to do my best. She never 7 _ to make me believe that I could do anything with my life that I wanted, if I only tried hard enough.
For more than sixty years, Aunt Marion didn’t and still doesn’t think of herself. 8 _ she is forced to come up to the front, my aunt will stand in the back in family photos, and she doesn’t think that her efforts have made much 9 _ . I honor（尊敬）my aunt, who taught me the things my 10 _ couldn’t. So every June for the past 40 years, for growing thankfulness to my Aunt Marion, I’ve sent her a Father’s Day card.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story__1__ their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a good children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 2 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 3 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are 4 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the child who hears the story and the adult who read it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, 5 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 6 to solve.
This may be why many of the books regarded as woks of children’s literature were in fact written for 7 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 8 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a library and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 9 to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 10 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥协） over the bedtime story.
