Her talent over everyone and she became a super star overnight. Millions of people all over the world saw the video on the Internet and became her fans.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while. "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn't know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
"Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside." Why does Susan’s father have a bad temper?

Our world is full of rules. Everyone needs to obey them. But your idea about your school rules? Now many students like to talk about the rules that they have . At their school, they wear uniforms every day. The problem is that all the students think the uniforms are . They think young people should look smart and so they would like to wear their own clothes. , their teachers believe that if they did that, they would think of their clothes than their study. the students disagree. They would feel more comfortable and that is good for . If they can’t do that, they design their own uniforms. That would be a good way to both teachers and students happy.
It’s also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening. Although they get sometimes, they can learn a lot from each other. They also think that vacations should be longer. At present they’re too . Longer vacations would give them time to do things like volunteering. On Friday afternoons, many students are sleepy after a long week of classes. They think it’s better to have Friday afternoons to volunteer and help others. , it is helpful for students to go to an old people’s home to sing and perform a play for them. It will help them understand the meaning of love. It’s also better to volunteer at the local hospital. It would be a good for them because some of them want to be doctors when they grow up.

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell ,” he finally said. “I never went to college, andnone of your went to college. I can’t say don’t do this and do that, everything is different. And I don’t know is going to come up. I can’t help much with money, , but I think things will work out. ”
He gave me a new check-book(支票簿). “If you are short of money, a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.
“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.”
Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, Bible that he had read so often. He didn’t say read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”
Did it help? I got through college being a burden on the family. I have been able to make money since.
