Here is a black mother. She has two daughters, the elder one name Dee, and the younger one named Maggie. They lead a humble quiet life in an old and tinny house, which had been burned by fire. After the fire, Maggie is very self-contemplated and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs. In short is deformed. However, Dee has no scars and she is confident. The mother sent Dee to college. Dee is stunning to the mother and Maggie. She is ashamed of her family. She hates the ancient house and never brings her friends to the house.
One day, Dee came back to the old house with her lover to see her mother and sister. On that day. She is worn a long dress and dressed very fashionably. At beginning, Dee told her mother that she had changed her name into Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo, which maybe liked by the white people. It is to be observed that Dee behaved quite different from before. She even said how beautiful the older furniture is. Those things she ever hated very much, such as the benches, dashers and etc. What's more, she walked around the house, searching for everything, just like rifling, and took pictures of every item. Seeing this, Maggie kept silence and she didn't say a word. Later, there is one thing that made the family very unhappy. Dee said a lot about the quilts, which are tatty. They had been pieced by Grandma Dee and then Big Dee and then the mother. The mother had promised to give them to Maggie when she got married. However, Dee wanted these.
She said she liked them very much. She wanted to hang them to decorate her house, but she isn't aware of the every story behind the every piece. , Dee argued with the mother that if Maggie owned the quilts, they would be worn-off soon. One thing Dee had forgotten was that Maggie knew how to quilt. That means Maggie really understood how to appreciate the family heritages. Inheriting means practicing. Finally, quilts were given to Maggie.

Lesson Thirteen Work 工作 究竟工作是幸福还是痛苦的源泉，这可能是一个难以回答的问题。 Whether work should be placed among the causes of happiness or among the causes of unhappiness may perhaps be regarded as a doubtful question. 毫无疑问有许多工作是非常令人厌烦的，而且过多的工作总是十分痛苦的事。 There is certainly much work which is exceedingly irksome, and an excess of work is always very painful. 然而我认为，只要不过量，对多数人来说即使是最枯燥的工作也比终日无所事事要好些。 I think, however, that, provided work is not excessive in amount, even the dullest work is to most people less painful than idleness. 工作给人的愉快的程度多种多样，从仅仅是消烦解闷到产生巨大的快乐，这会随工作的性质和工 作者的能力而异。 There are in work all grades, from mere relief of tedium up to the profoundest delights, according to the nature of the work and the abilities of the worker. 大多数人不得不从事的工作本身大都无乐趣可言，但即使是这样的工作也有一些很大的好处。Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages. 首先，工作可将一天的许多时间占满，人们不必再费神来决定应干些什么，大多数人在可以自由地按自己的愿望打发时间时，常常会不知所措，想不起有什么令人愉快的事值得去做。 To begin with, it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice, are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing. 而他们的决定又总是受到干扰，觉得干别的什么事也许会更令人愉快。 And whatever they decide on, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been pleasanter. 能够有意义地利用闲暇时间是文明发展到最高阶段的结果，而目前很少有人能达到这一层次。To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level. 何况作出选择本身就是件令人厌烦的事。 Moreover the exercise of choice is in itself tiresome. 除了那些具有非凡主动性的人，其他的人肯定有人乐于被告诉一天中的每时每刻该做什么， 当然命令他们做的事不能太令人厌烦。 Except to people with unusual initiative it is positively agreeable to be told what to do at each hour of the day, provided the orders are not too unpleasant. 多数无所事事的阔佬免遭从事单调乏味工作之苦，但代价是莫名其妙的无聊。 Most of the idle rich suffer unspeakable boredom as the price of their freedom from drudgery. 有时他们去非洲猎取巨兽或环绕世界飞行来解闷，但这类刺激的数量有限，尤其到了中年以后更 是如此。 At times they may find relief by hunting big game in Africa, or by flying round the world, but the number of such sensations is limited, especially after youth is past. 因此较为明智的阔佬们工作起来几乎像穷人一样卖力，而有钱的女人则大多忙于她们自以为
