Children model themselves largely on their parents．They do so mainly through identification．Children identify 36 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 37 of that parent．The things parents do and say---and the 38 they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's 39 ．However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 40 they want their child to become．
A parent's actions 41 affect the self-image that a child forms 42 identification．Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 43 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way．Children who observe chiefly 44 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 45 positive qualities in themselves．Children may 46 their self-image, however, as they become increasingly 47 by peers groups standards before they reach 13．
Isolated（孤立的） events, 48 dramatic（突然的） ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 49 on a child's behavior．Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training．Children who know they are loved can, 50 , accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early 51 ．But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 52 a sign of rejection or punishment．
In the same way, all children are not influenced 53 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs． 54 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 55 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it．

School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of 11 to get home. Sitting at the front makes you 12 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of 13 .
I try to mind my manners and 14 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 15, her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick, ”she said to no one in 16 . 1 could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes wet and her voice tight fighting against the tears, she 17, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 18 as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can 19 losing him.”
I couldn’t react. I was 20 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 21 my own mother was thrown into when my father died.
I saw how hard it was, 22 still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to go 23 that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a 24 world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as anything but a driver.
I suddenly felt very25. I realized I had only thought of people as 26 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and just considered her 27.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 28 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 29 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go to, people to see and appointments to 30 . Understanding people is an art.

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather 36 test. I didn’t know how 37 I had done but I knew there were things on 38 that I didn’t know.
I remember 39 waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales 40 my paper on my desk, I was 41 . There in big 42 numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I 43 my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not 44 that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and 45 the class. “The grades were not very good; 46 of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”
A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal (阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot 47 . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s 48 changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t 49 what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother 50 answered.
For years, I thought that was a harsh (严厉的) judgment. My mother was always that 51 . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and 52 I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand 53 the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生态度）has 54 me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is 55 and there are very few people on it.

I’ve often puzzled over something that happened to me one winter when I was eight. Over the years I had been wondering if my 31 was nothing more than a kid’s imagination.
There was a 32 near our house. In winter it was the greatest 33 place in the world. One 34 all I wanted to do was go skating. I had been waiting for weeks 35 the water was frozen solid. Mom had one rule: “Never ice-skate alone.” But I couldn’t 36 any longer that afternoon. So I 37 my skates under my coat and ran to the pond. Several people were skating near the shore, and some kids were playing hockey. I was not really 38 .
The hockey game had attracted 39 audience, so I skated in the other direction until their cheering 40 . But another noise came soon. The ice was cracking beneath me. Freezing water 41 my body, and I sank like a rock. My feet 42 the bottom. Just when I thought I wouldn’t last another 43 , I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Don’t worry,” someone said. I swung my 44 around. I couldn’t see anybody. But I heard the voice again，“Push your feet into the bottom and you’ll shoot straight up to the surface.” I did as I was told and 45 . I crawled to the shore and lay down, 46 . The next thing I knew was people were 47 around me, covering me with coats.
When I awoke, I was home in my own bed. Mom sat next to me, 48 my hand. “I saw nobody there. It must be an angel that came to my 49 .” I said. Mom smiled, “I just thank God you’re safe.”
For a long time I thought I would 50 a more realistic explanation if I just thought hard, but I never did.
