In court(法庭),the man said to the judge(法官): "They were just stories.It was just for fun and my neighbour was not a(2) . " The judge said to the man: "Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper.Then cut the paper into many small pieces and,on your way home,(3) the pieces away on the road.I then want you(4) here in court tomorrow to hear my verdict(裁决). "
Next day in court,the judge said to the man: "(5) I give my verdict,I want you to leave the court and,and pick up all the(6) of paper you threw away yesterday. "(7) ,the man said: "I can't do that.The wind has blown the pieces all over the place.I'll never find them! "
"Great, " said the judge. "Your mean rumors have spread and harmed the good reputation(名誉)of your neighbour.You may never be able to fix it.If you cannot speak well of someone,don't say(8) at all! "

Something that I learnt from both my parents was the importance of having respect(尊重)for other people.I remember one day when we were travelling on a bus and
(1) sat down while other people were standing.My mother shouted at me, "
(2) immediately!You have young legs and you don't need to sit down. "At the time I felt embarrassed about being told of(3) ,but now I understand.I think children nowadays have(4) that respect and it really makes me angry if I see children sitting down while(5) people are standing.
One area in which we had a lot of rules was table(6) .For example,we weren't allowed to start our meal(7) the oldest person had started.We had to say "thank you" when our food was(8) ,and eat everything on our plates before we could(9) the table.We couldn't make any noise when eating.Worse than that,we were only(10) to have sweets at the weekend,as a special(11) if we had been good.
Although my upbringing(养育)was perhaps a bit(12) compared with modern children,I'm very thankful to my parents for giving me a clear(13) in life.Even though I was sometimes(14) ,I think it has made me a better person.In my view,children need clear rules,but more than that they need to learn how to get on with(15) people and realize they are not the center of the world.
