I’m a 50-something male, the father of two mostly grown girls. I’m happy to say that both my parents are still kicking. I’m on good 21 with my brothers and sisters most of the time. I am blessed with good friends and other relations, and tend to get on well with my co-workers. I am fortunate in so many ways, but feel like I consistently disappoint everyone I know.

I cannot, for the life of me, give a genuine 22 . It simply doesn’t come naturally. When I try, and I do, in order to maintain all the relationships, it feels forced, more a matter of

23 than a gift that might put wind in the sails of someone I truly care for. I feel strongly that giving should spring from joy, or at least from a 24 desire to see the recipient enlivened(开心的) by it. When I have nothing to offer in response to a job well done, everyone loses. I feel like I’ve twisted the emotional and social development of my children, alienated (疏 远) any number of perfectly wonderful lovers, and generally kept the world at arm’s length.

After years of psychotherapy and the obsessive ( 强迫症) self-examination common to my generation, I believe I know where this meanness of spirit comes from. Six kids in total, at a very tender age, there were five younger, cuter kids standing between me and the object of our

I had complete 27 for her difficult situation, even at the time. The fact remains, however, that, as a young child, I needed more than I got. I 28 for my mother’s attention.

You can imagine the sibling rivalry in a big family. Eventually I took haven in the written

word to get away from it. But even before I learned to read, I had realized that giving any sign of approval or encouragement to my brothers and sisters could only 30 to increase the gulf between me and my mom. Does that make sense? I can rationalize otherwise, of course, and now we’re all \I even think to reach into that purse, however, it’s pretty much empty.

Walking while texting could lead to fines up to $50 or 15 days’ imprisonment as state lawmaker warms of the dangers of “distracted walking”. Jared Schumacher is among the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans who 31 use electronic devices to text, listen to music or do other tasks as they walk outdoors. But if a \walking\measure recently proposed by a state assemblywoman eventually becomes law, the Trenton man and others like him could be facing 32 or even jail time. See the most-read stories this hour >> \talking on my phone or texting while I'm walking around,\ 33 to a text as he walked along a street in the state capital last weekend. \ never hurt myself, but I've seen people walk into poles or trip over a big crack in the sidewalk.\ Experts say distracted walking is a growing 34 around the globe, as people of all ages become more 35 on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. They also note pedestrian deaths have been 36 in recent years. Eleven percent of all fatalities in 2005 involved pedestrians, but that number rose to 15% in 2014.

The rise in deaths coincides with states 37 bills that target pedestrians and/or bicyclists. For instance, a bill pending in Hawaii would fine someone $250 if he or she crossed the street while 38 an electronic device. In recent years, similar bills have failed in states including Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada and New York.

“Thus far, no states have enacted a law 39 targeting distracted bicyclists or pedestrians,” said Douglas Shinkle, transportation program director for the National Conference of State Legislatures. But he added that “a few states 40 to introduce legislation every year”.

The measure recently introduced by New Jersey Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt would

41 walking while texting and bar pedestrians on public roads from using electronic communication devices unless they are hands- 42 . Violators would face fines of up to $50, 15 days imprisonment or both, which is the same

penalty as jaywalking. Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the 43 of walking and texting, said Lampitt, a Democrat.

Some see the proposal as an 44 government overreach, while others say they understand Lampitt’s reasoning. But most agree that people need to be made 45 of the issue.
