3、o anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or bein
4、g punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,

10、 were the most frequently lost items. Other things on the list included: house keys, bills, sunglasses, wallets, bank cards, watches, jewellery (particularly rings and earrings). So, whats going on? “Most blame it on a busy lifestyle,” says Nikki Sellers, the head of Esure. Others say its the fault
11、of spouses (配偶) or children for not putting things back where they belong. A few admitted to untidiness, absent-mindedness and a poor memory, with some wishing they were more organized. Whats the solution? “You need to choose a particular place for something and always put it back there,” said Nikki
12、 Sellers. “And you need to make sure everyone else in the house knows where to put it back too.
