新视野大学英语读写教程 第三版 第 1 新视野大学英语读写教程 第三版 第 1 册 Unit2 section A A child's clutter awaits an adult's return 儿时百宝箱 老大归家梦 1 A child’s clutter awaits an adult’s return (Title) Meaning beyond words: Here the word clutter refers to the many small personal items collected by children in the course of their growing up. All these things are important and dear memories to them. No matter where they are or how far away they are from home, the clutter remains a bond between them and the family, representing a happy childhood.

(Para. 1) Note: Notice that the mother is telling a story that happened in the past. She uses the past tense to describe the events that happened before her daughter left home. But when she describes the events that happened after her daughter left, she uses the present tense. By manipulating the past tense and the present tense, the author achieves immediacy in time, and produces the effect of great vividness. This use of the present
