問題詳情：

     My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought  41  . My complaints, ever shouting, were always landing on  42  ears. Very often, my attempts to motivate them were  43   . Apparently, I needed to  44  my method of “mothering”.

    One day when they were at school, I spent some time  45 their rooms. On their desks, in simple  46  , I left the cards: “Dear Bill and Sarah, your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. love, the Room Fairy(仙女).”   47  arriving back, the children were more than excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were   48  tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy  49  for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and  50   asking them to play a certain violin  51 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas  52   .

    Sometimes the Room Fairy would put forward a little  53 : “If you can finish your homework and   54   your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in  55  of well done jobs the day  56   .

    57   I can’t remember how long the Room Fairy continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(貼條). The bathroom mirror became the  58   center of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lessons schedules could be posted.

    This is 59   we share daily details of life and reminders. We all benefited from and  60  it. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.
