20、ifferent from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin. In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened. “Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty
21、kitchen. “This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke. From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table. But the Whites didnt worry about who had done what. They picked
22、 up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died. In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had re
23、cently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new drivers license（驾照） ，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.

24、, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign.

25、. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car. Jane was killed immediately. I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that Ive ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I k
26、new that it was far worse for them to lose a child. When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amys leg was broken. They hugged（拥抱）us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped
27、 away the girls tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖） . To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “Were so glad that youre alive. ”I was astonished. No blame. No accusations. Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked a
28、bout the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign. Mrs. White said, “Janes gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sisters death? ”They we

34、n wire. It was invented in 1900 by Valdermar Poulsen. In 1930, German scientists invented the tape we use today. Back then the tape was on big rolls. In 1964 the Philips company in Holland invented the cassette. Its pretty much a holder for the tape. People use cassettes all over the world. If you d
35、ont have a cassette recorder, borrow one. Think of a book your parents read out loud to you. That might be a great book to read out loud to your mom or dad in their car.

There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of
42、the information on the Internet is in English. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderful
46、ly poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe its like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a
