Sometimes You Just Have to Cry

There are a lot of things about parenthood that could make one cry: sleepless nights, or diaper（尿布） messes and so on. _________, for me the worst had to be — immunization shots（防疫针）.

At about two months into _______, I learned the true meaning of the word "heartbreak". There could not have been anything worse than _______ helplessly as he receives his first round of immunization shots. I would rather have been run over by a truck than have to watch him _______ through that. I kept thinking that surely medical science could have come up with a better way of doing this by now while listening to his _______. As for comfort from the doctor, all he could say was, "Ah, look at those healthy tears." As we left the office, I whispered into my son’s ear, "It’s okay, Sam. Sometimes you just_______to cry."

In a way I guess it was only a matter of time before Sam was introduced to _______ in his life. I remembered losing my _________ to a sudden car accident a number of years ago. I tried to remain _______ through it all. One day, when a song came on the radio that ________ me of my father. It was the first time since the funeral that I just let go and cried. It felt ________ to not hold back any more.

The earliest ________ I have of my father is one of me as a young boy holding his hand by his two last ________ as we walked together. His hands seemed so ________ that his fingers were all I could actually grip. He always took me with him to basketball games even at my young age. I will never ________ that.

(I am Gulliver)

On 20th June 1702, I set off for Surat, on a ship called the Adventure（冒险）. And indeed “adventure” was really an appropriate name for that ship, and for everything that happened on the trip.

The first part of our trip went well. But later there were some terrible storms（暴风雨）. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship off course（航线）. We didn’t know where we were.

At last, when the storms stopped, we saw an island（岛）. We had no more drinking water, so the captain（船长）sent me to find some fresh water on the island. I set off with some other men in a small boat. And when we got there, I travelled around the island by myself while the men looked for water.

That was a big mistake. When I went back, there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing back to our ship with a giant（巨人）following them in the sea! They were very afraid. I ran as fast as I could. I then climbed up a big hill and when I looked around, I saw fields. Then I saw other giants working in the fields.

“On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny（小的）people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giant!” It was not a nice feeling. I was so sad and hid behind a big tree. I had to think of a plan, but at that time one of the giants saw me.

Babies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip-readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby’s babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada”. The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.

Apparently it doesn’t take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.

But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6-months-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker’s eyes.

But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies’ brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.

The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study that this is “a fairly heroic data set”, says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.

I woke up as the plane started to land at Auckland airport. I had not slept for much of the flight from Singapore because I was so excited. This was my first trip abroad without my parents. It was a school trip for Grade 6 students, all aged 11 years old.

After the arrival, we got on a bus which took us to a place called Miranda, where we stayed the night．

The next day we got up early, had breakfast, and took the bus to Thames. On the way we stopped at a gold mine(矿). I searched for pieces of gold but didn’t find any. At Thames we visited a cave where we saw a huge spider eating a fly. That was interesting!

The third day was very unforgettable. We went to a Maori village. Maoris are the original people who have lived in the New Zealand for thousands of years. I made friends with a Maori boy of my own age called Aaron. Aaron took me to his large house. He had many pets including a dog, a cat, a chicken and an ostrich(鸵鸟)! The ostrich was much taller than me with a funny head and long legs. It was a little bit frightening!

That night for dinner we had a barbecue and finally before going to bed we played a game of football. My team won 3 to 1.

The next morning was our last day in New Zealand. We went back to Aaron’s village where the Maori men lined up and performed a haka—this is a war dance. We then sang a song for them and then everyone became friends. It was a wonderful experience.

After that we went to a place called Rotorua where we saw boiling mud pools and geysers(间歇性喷泉). The geysers shot water into the air 10 metres high! It was amazing!

That night we took the bus back to the airport and said our goodbye to the beautiful country of New Zealand. I would love to come back to visit again some day.
