（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.
