Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.

One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth(价值观). The self-respect is the basis of good mental(心理) health. A teenager, who is often made to feel stupid and unworthy, compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not be so sure and will be so afraid of failing that he or she won' t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong. This is the way children learn. But the criticisms (批评) should be balanced with praises with a smile and a kiss. No child is ever too old to be cuddled(拥抱)

Parents owe their children firm guidance(指导). It is frightening for a teenager to feel that he is in charge of himself (自理);  it's like being in a car that can’t be stopped.

Parents owe their children privacy (隐私)and respect for their personal belongings. This means not taking things without permission, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through purses, pockets, and drawers.

If a mother feels that she must read her daughter's diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be quite bad.

Parents owe their children a set of solid values (道德准则) around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child, who is lied to, will lie. A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A teenager who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.

No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.

Have you heard of the term “etiquette” And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 46 very useful to understand?

Etiquette is not the same in every culture 47 in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However; if you do this in Europe, some 48 people might feel 49.Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is 50 .For example ,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is 51 .Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice 52 in public places. In fact, we should also 53 not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.

If we see someone 54 the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 55 ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mindnot doing that. For example, if someone cuts 56 you in a line, you could ask them, Sorry, would you mind 57 the line? If someone is smoking on the bus you could ask, Excuse me, could you please 58 that cigarette? People don’t usually like 59 , so we have to be careful how we do this.

Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, 60 is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask them, Would you mind picking it up?
