Stitch after stitch，Amy is embroidering（刺绣）her hand﹣made napkin．

"Well，Amy，how are you getting on？" cried Lizzy，whose （1） 　　seemed to fly over her work．

"Not very fast，"replied quiet little Amy．Meanwhile， she didn't （2） 　　her eyes，"I have almost finished one side．"

"One side!"said Lizzy，with an unpleasant laugh，"Why，we both began sewing（缝制）at the same time，and I'm now at the fourth side of mine！"

"I know that I am （3） 　　，but I'll try to be steady（稳的），and to do my best．"said the little girl，as she went on with her work．

"As I sew so fast，"cried Lizzy，"I'm sure to have finished my napkin （4） 　　before the bell rings for dinner．I'll just run for a minute to the garden，to see if the roses are out："﹣so， leaving her work on a chair，Lizzy （5） 　　out of the room．

Amy longed for the fresh air and the flowers，but her work must first be done．Steadily she laid down her broad hem． and had finished the （6） 　　side of her napkin before her sister came back．

"Ah，you slow little thing！"cried Lizzy．"You will （7） 　　get up to me．I'll have time to go to my room and put up my new picture on the wall．"

"What if you （10） 　　？"

"No fear of that！"cried Lizzy，"No one is so likely to be as a slow little thing like you！

Poor Amy made no （11） 　　， quietly she worked on．Lizzy was soon deep in her story and she forgot all about her （12） 　　，till suddenly the sound of the bell woke her up．

"Can it be dinner﹣time"she cried．"Oh dear，and my napkin is not hemmed!And yours﹣"

"It is （13） 　　finished，"said Amy，as she quietly put it away．

"This is much like 'The Hare and the Tortoise'，the faster，but not the winner，"thought Lizzy，who，though proud，had enough （14） 　　to take a lesson：The quick，proud may have the （15） 　　，but the quiet，steady may do more in the end．

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.
