As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents in Texas. And every few summers, we’d 16 the caravan (旅游团队), a group of Airstream trailer owners who 17 together around the U.S. and Canada．
I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked 18 to these travels. On one particular 19 ，I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the backseat. My grandfather was 20 . And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I hated the 21.
At that age, I’d take any excuse to make estimates(估计) and do minor 22．At any rate, I decided to do the math for my 23. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of 24 per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I’d come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the 25 of the car, tapped my grandmother 26 the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, “At two minutes per puff, youve taken nine years off your 27!” Because the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes 28 smoker’s life．
I expected to be applauded for my 29 and arithmetic skills. That’s not what happened．30, my grandmother burst into 31. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. My grandfather was a highly intelligent, 32 man. He had never said a harsh word to me. He pulled 33 onto the shoulder of the highway. He stopped and got out of the car, 34 me, and after a bit of silence，he gently and 35 said, “Jeff, one day you’ll understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.”
