Watch young children in a school class. You will often notice that there are three or four—especially boys who cannot sits s_____81____. They have trouble paying attention to the teacher for longer than a few minutes, and they seem to forget things the teachers tells them. What is the manner with them? Many doctors think they need medicine, so they give the children a drug c_____82____ Ritalin(利他林). It is supposed to help them settle down and pay better attention. It works, but it is also dangerous. Ritalin has some bad side effects, and it can even kill children who take too much.

It happened about one year ago. My mom wanted to visit her sister who lived in America. Since we lived in the Ukraine(乌克兰), my mom had to get agreement from our government to go to America. After she got the agreement to go and all of the paper work was done, she was ready to

go. Then came the bad part. She had to be away from my dad, my two sister, and me for about three months. From our city, my mum had to go to New York by

plane. My sisters, my dad and I stood and watched the plane leave until we couldn’t see it any more.

The next day, we got a call from our mom. She said that her sister met her in New York and from there, they drove to the place where my aunt lived. She also said that it was really nice in America, but she missed her very much. It was really hard to live without my mom, without her help or her advice, but I got over it.

After about three months my mom was coming home. My dad and my sister went to pick my mom up from the airport. It was very far and my mom had a lot of bags. My younger sister and I waited for them at home. We waited and waited, and then it was late, but they weren’t back. Then we got a call from our dad. He said that there was a big snowstorm in New York and the plane

couldn’t leave until the storm was over, so our mum would be late. When they finally got home, I was really happy. My mum had a lot of gifts for us, but she was the best one. 88. Why did the writer’s mother fly to New York?
