It was a bright spring afternoon when Fieda told me she wouldn’t need me any more. I had just finished my four-hour work －36   up and down the stairs of her three-storey home, cleaning the floor and washing the dishes. She was 37   jeans and a sweater, sitting at the table I had just 38   . a pile of papers spread around her. Her husband’  39   was going to be reduced by thirty percent. And they were trying to live as if it had 40  happened. I felt sorry for her. but I also felt a sense of 41  .
I had been cleaning Freda’s house for five years and had 42   an unexpected relationship with the family. It was not just 43   I had become an expert at scraping（刮掉）dirt stuck to their wooden floor, 44   that I had learned exactly how to place toys on the girls’ beds. It was 45   than that, for I felt I had become a part of their 46  .Freda stayed at home with the kids, 47   I would often see her in the morning 48   them to school. And I’d be there when they 49  home at lunch for sandwiches and piano practice. I had 50  them grow up. Now I was tired, but the  51 thing was that I still wanted to keep scraping away the dirt and dust for the family.  
I left Freda’s house that day, wondering about the 52    of my relationship with my clients（主顧）. Who am I  53   them? As a matter of fact, I’m  54    an employee － the lowest kind of employee. But I’m also a trusted 55  of the family. I can’t help worrying about what happens around me.

Last year my sixth-grader daughter ,Elizabeth ,was forced to put up with science .Her education week after week ,contained mindless memorization of big words like “batholith” and “saprophyte” She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like “improved nuclear fu-sion（核聚變） “—never mind that she hasn’t the least idea of what nuclear fusion means .Eliza—beth did very well (she’s good at memorizing things ). And now she hates science .My eighth-grader son ,Ben ,also suffered from science education . Week after week he had to perform lab experiments with answers already known .Ben figured out how to guess the right answers ,so he got good grades .Now he hates science ,too.

[1]World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually by consumer organizations worldwide. It commemorates the historic declaration on March 15, 1962 by John F. Kennedy, the former U.S. President, of the basic Rights of consumers, which include: "the right to safety", "the right to be informed", "the right to choose", and "the right to be heard".  
[2]This declaration has led to international recognition by governments and the United Nations that all citizens, regardless of their incomes or social standing, have certain basic Rights as consumers. Officially, World Consumer Rights Day was first observed on March 15，1983 and has since become an important occasion for mobilizing citizen action, with recognition of consumer rights taking off around the world. On April 9，1985, the United Nations Assembly General Assembly adopted the UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection that provide a framework for strengthening national consumer protection policies around the world.  
[3]The guidelines included Kennedy's four basic consumer rights plus another four: the right to satisfaction of basic needs; the right to redress(賠償); the right to education; and the right to a healthy environment. Currently, the fundamental consumer rights are recognized globally.
[4]World Consumer Rights Day normally has a theme associated with an activity or development that is relevant to consumers. Whatever their objectives, they share the same underlying aim of bringing about important and needed benefits for consumers.  
[5]In recent years, progress has been made for recognition and protection of consumer rights in developing countries. At least, March 15 is a day when consumers are filled with pride and satisfaction. However, there are many reports on violation of consumer rights by unethical marketing practices.
