You really have to get very old before you realize you're old. I'm in my middle fifties and I don't feel 21 yet. However, sometimes I look back at my childhood and _ 22 things to the way life is for 23 kids, some things have certainly changed.
One area of change is 24 . Some changes have been improvements. Some changes, on the other hand, have been 25 .
When I started school, most people didn't have a television; TV was just beginning to get 26 . My father decided to go all out and buy a 16-inch black and white Motorola 27 .I still remember watching the Lone Ranger save people, from the 28 guys on that awesome electronic machine. That was exciting!
Now, 29 have larger pictures in full color. The pictures are clearer and the sound is much more 30 . The new high definition sets are made to rival 31 screens.
The variety and quantity of program has 32 greatly. There are hundreds of channels and more shows than one person could ever watch. There are many fine entertainment and educational 33 . There's also a lot of garbage, stuff that most 34 don't want their kids exposed to. Overall, we have more choices, and that is good.
I wonder what 35 will be like when today's kids are my age．

My boyfriend really enjoyed canoeing (划独木舟), and it took me a while to finally persuade himto take me on a canoe trip. Despite his great skill, he was nervous about my safety and described manyterrible situations that could happen. "They could also not happen," I said. I wanted to prove that I wastough and capable of adventuring.?
This would be a romantic adventure. We would row the canoe on the lake under a beautiful bluesky. I was confident it would all go according to plan.?
It did not go as planned. Instead,?it all went downhill. We hit a headwind (逆风). The flies werethe worst. An unknown animal outside our tent in the night forced us to get up twice to scare it away.We walked through knee-deep mud; we moved around so many fallen trees that we lost the wayfrequently. We had an unexpected thunderstorm on our second night. We hid in our tent from the bugs(虫子), too tired and bitten to even hold each other. When we were finally back in the car, my skinwas hot and angry with bug bites, I had barely slept in 72 hours and I had an injury on my forehead fromhitting it on the canoe.?
Yet I realized that I wanted to do it all again. Because I swam in a lake so warm it felt like asummer pool. ?I ate lunch on an island with the most beautiful pine trees. ?I' d also never beforeappreciated how thunder can make the ground tremble. I know why my boyfriend loves canoeing somuch. It' s for the challenge, the space, and the beauty of moving forward with your own two hands ina place of natural wonder. He didn' t say "I love you. " He said I was a good partner. I' ve foundsomething that I really like to do. That' s the more important thing.?
