Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her class and was ready for new 1 in high school.
2, high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts(选拔赛)for cheerleaders(拉拉队队员). She was competing against very talented girls, and she knew it would be3 for her to be selected. Two hours later, the 4read a list of the girls for a second tryout. Her heart 5as the list ended without her name. Feeling 6, she walked home carrying her schoolbag full of homework.
Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was 7. She moved on to English and history, and was 8to find that she didn’t have any trouble with those subjects. Feeling better, she decided not to9 math for the time being.
The nest day Jenna went to see Mrs. Biden about being on the school 10. Mrs. Biden wasn’t as 11as Jenna. “I’m sorry, but we have enough 12for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we’11 talk then.” Jenna smiled 13and left. “Why is high school so14?” she sighed.
Later in 15class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much16. By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she’d continue to try to 17at her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to 18. High school was just as her mom had said: “You will feel like a small fish in a big pond 19 a big fish in a small pond. The challenge is to become the 20fish you can be.”

There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go (放手). As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the1side of this line. When I hold2the apron strings (围裙带) connecting us, Nicole, eager to3independence, tries to loosen my grasp. What results is a (an)4mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango.
For the past two years, it’s gone like this:
My question: “Have you thought of taking an advanced placement class (高阶课程) so that you can earn college credit?”
Nicole’s5: “No, I’m not interested in that.” ………
Two months ago, she was6to a great university. However, I was still the mother having a7time letting go. The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the course catalog carefully and8courses which I thought looked good. We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face9with excitement. “I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished,10she should have discussed it with me. I examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an)11one of the courses I had suggested. Every course she had chosen12suited her interests. Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a13mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother’s14every decision she made. I felt proud, though still a bit 15.
I16the lessons carefully. Nicole has struggled to learn over the past 18 years:17, sympathy, and hard work. There have been a few holes along the way.18, she is well-equipped and eager to19the future. The next step, I recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the20we both needed.

In the last few years the Internet has become a widespread phenomenon(现象) around the world. People have started to use the computers just like they used to watch TV. Whenever we get hungry, we simply order a pizza through the Internet and while we are waiting for the food, we can send an important business e-mail concerning some sales for tomorrow. It is, in fact, very comfortable to just simply sit down and have a chat with somebody from South Africa about fishing and get some important advice. Sometimes when you are sad and are feeling lonely, if you go on the Internet, you can find good entertainment that will keep you busy.
To make a long story short, we just don’t have the time to communicate with people in person anymore. Besides, there is so much information easy to get on the Internet that when we start surfing, we find it hard for us to get away from the computer.
