Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t 36 them. They often think their parents are too strict with them, and they are never given a 37 hand.
Parents often find 38 difficult to win their children’s trust and they seem to forget how they themselves 39 when they were young. For example, young people like to do things without much thinking. It is one of their ways to 40 that they grow up and they can do with any difficult things. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead and don’t like their plans to be changed.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success 41 you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they want, the music they enjoy and something else. But they don’t 42 to cause any trouble. They just feel that in this way they can be cut off from the old people’s world and they want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents don’t like their music or their clothes or their manner of speech, the young people feel very 43 .Sometimes you even don’t want your parents to say “ 44 ” to what you do. You want to stay at home alone and do what you like.
If you plan to control your 45 , you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

A man got a new car and he was very proud 26 it. One day, when he 27 back home, he saw his three-year-old son 28 hitting the new car with a toy hammer. The man was 29 angry that he ran to his son, grabbed the hammer from 30 , and used the hammer to hit the little boy’s hands too hard. The 31 boy cried out but his father didn’t care.
When the father 32 , he took his son to the 33 as fast as he could. Although the doctor tried his best to save the 34 bones（骨头）, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy’s hands in the end.
When the boy 35 in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently(天真) said, “Dady, I’m sorry about your car.” Then he asked, “but 36 are my fingers going to grow back?” The father 37 very sad.
Think about the story when 38 steps on your feet or when you wish to take revenge(报复). Think first before you lose your patience with someone. Cars can 39 , but broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.
People often make mistakes. But we should remember that forgiveness is greater than revenge. 40 before act!

My tears run down when I talk to my parents on the phone. What are they doing when I 41 them?
Dad works from 7a.m to 9p.m. Mum does all the 42 . She also has to work in the vineyard (葡萄园). But I can’t do 43 for them. Every day she got up earlier than Dad. When I 44 call her at 7:30 in the evening, she is still working and 45 supper. How hard it is for a daughter to stop the 46 in heart! And even harder to keep back the tears. 47 only thing I can do is to promise her that I’ll study hard in the university. I also 48 her to take care of herself and dad. I can not live 49 them.
Mum says the happiest time for dad and 50 is when my sister and I return home. We play 51 in the room, watch TV or do anything we like, with dad 52 mum cooking together in the kitchen. It is 53 the happiest time for me. I’ve never thought my holidays at home could be so 54 . I wanted to do more housework because mum really needs more rest.
Love, sometimes, doesn’t need too many 55 . We may be too shy to say the warm word out. Then give them a call and tell them you miss them.

I really only meant it as a joke. I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.
My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹嘘) about it to everyone.

39 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 40 , so we had to crowd(拥挤) around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 41there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous.
But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 42 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 43 was to give it back to him the next day. I44 wanted to see his reaction (反应). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 45 and almost mad. He started accusing (指责) different people of 46 his phone, but I had it in my 47 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 48 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 49 got in a lot of trouble.

On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh. I'm terribly sorry,” I said. “That’s all right. Please excuse me too. I wasn't even 15 you. I wish I didn’t hurt you,” said the man.
We were very 16 . We said good-bye and went on our way.
But at home we often 17 our loved ones in a different way.
Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly 18 her down. “Move out of the way, ” I shouted. She walked away, tears（眼泪）in her eyes.
While I lay awake in bed, I realized how 19 I’d spoken. So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter. On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some 20 by the door of the kitchen.

Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me?”
She smiled and said, “I found them out by the tree. I picked them 22 they're pretty like you. I knew you’d like them. I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise.” “Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn’t have shouted at you,” I said.

I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word 24 like this: Father And Mother, I Love You!

In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In 26 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often 27 Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider 28 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough 29 in the rock. He tried six times. On the 30 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to 31 the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made 32 models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked 33 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have 34 failures. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't 35”.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused 36 ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 37 next times.
Second, is the goal（目标 ） you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 38 about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in 39 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 40 ．
