As we all know, mothers are the greatest persons all over the world. They do all kinds of things for their families and their kids. And they have little time for themselves. But do you know how much time they spend on different kinds of things in their daily life? Here is the result of a new survey of 100 hard-working mothers which shows their daily timetable.
From the result we know that they spend about 70 hours a week doing chores and looking after their families. They spend more than ten hours a day cooking, cleaning the house, getting children ready for school and helping with homework. Cooking takes up about one hour and nine minutes a day. Doing the laundry takes about 61 minutes. Mothers also spend about 55 minutes getting children ready for school, about 53 minutes putting them to bed and about 47 minutes helping with homework.
However, mothers with children under 16 get less than six hours' sleep at night.83% are not happy because they have less than an hour of their own time every day. Only 17% are happy with this kind of life.
So mothers are busy and tired every day. All of us should do something to show our love to our mothers.
I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was 1 the teddy bears beside her father 2 she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokemon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand. However, it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father, and kept picking up the Pokemon video games. Each time he showed 3 to his father, his father shook his head, "No".
Rather disappointed, the boy gave up the video games and chose a book of stickers 4. After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokemon video games. She excitedly picked up one 5 on top of the others, and ran toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases(购买物)and 6 the girl and her father.
Then, much to the little girl's satisfactory(满意), the little boy and his father got in line 7 her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier(收银员)and said something to her in a low voice. The cashier smiled and put the 8 under the counter(柜台). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, "Congratulations, you're my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!" and she handed the boy the Pokemon game. The boy could hardly believe his ears. It was, he said, 9 what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and prettiest smile on that little girl I have seen in my life.
I suddenly understood that the world is not 10 into the strong who care and the weak who are cared for. We must each in turn care and be cared.
