One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重复) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

him for a long time. Usually parents start with the words “Mama” , “Papa” and so on. But as the child 　39 learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being taught, we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored (教导)by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing it in a more active way than before. We 　40 use words which we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words , we 　41 where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don’t realize the child has learned the words from us only. Instead we start to put the blame(指责)on his friends , or 　42 who has talked to him when we’re not present.

　　 So if you want your child to have perfect behavior, you’ll have to 43 a good example to him. And if you can’t do that, you have no 　44 to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great 　45 over their child.

　　“Teenager” means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they're young, they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these: Should I go to college? What kind of job do I want? However, other people also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers? Teenagers were asked this question and here's what they said.

　　It depends on the kind of choice. When teenagers buy things, friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows, advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things, parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it's best to regard both parents and friends as influences. James, a seventeen-year-old boy says, “He's just a crazy man,” he also says, “parents are really important because they can tell you what's right and what's wrong.”

　　But teenagers also feel they need to make their own choices. As one teenage girl said, “If our parents don't let us make our own choices, maybe in the future we won't know how to do it. “ And they feel friends can often be a big help, especially because friends sometimes know more about their situation (处境) than their parents do.

　　Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do and how to do it? Whoever (不论谁) you depend on, the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hand.

　 Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink and even fight. They often do something dangerous.

　 Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely (可能) to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?

　 According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”.

　 As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.

　 In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.

　 Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?

　 As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.

　 But the good news is that a violent (暴力的)teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”
