Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
1. When I earned that my 71-year-old mother was playing scrabble against herself, I knew I
had to do something. "Who's playing?" I asked one day when I saw a half-finished game on
the table. "My right hand versus my left." An admirable pursuit, but I questioned whether
my mother's solitary version of scrabble would achieve that goal. My husband suggested we
give her a computer to play against, I wasn't sure my mother was ready for cyber scrabble:
It had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy a microwave. Nevertheless, we packed up our
old PC, complete with scrabble and word-processing programmes, and delivered it to my
parents' home. And so began my mother's adventure in the world of computers.
2.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching assignment for me. I've taught children
and adults of all ages, but never thought I would be teaching my mother to do anything.
Despite the look of horror on her face when she first saw our gift, my mother was eager to
get started. She sat mesmerized as the screen lit-up and the various icons presented the
selves. Slowly, but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little spiral book. I
wondered how she's fare without me. But thereafter, she only spoke about her game on the
computer to me. She even forgot to ask her stock question, "What did you have for supper?"
It was no longer on the agenda. Instead she talked about RAM, ROM and the CPU-the terms
spilled out effortlessly from her mouth. My mother had acquired a new mother tongue.
3. My mother isn't the only one experiencing a personal-growth spurt. Thanks to the computer,
my father has finally overcome his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I
called, my mother would answer, then, a couple of months ago, I heard dad's gruff voice on
the phone. "Why didn't mum answer?" I asked. “She's on the computer." My father and I
have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we've had in the previous
20 years. After a lifetime of being her child, I was finally the one with knowledge to share
with my mum. But even now, I realize that she continues to teach me. I'm learning that no
matter how old you are, a willing spirit is capable of caxphing.
