When I was about twelve years old, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to tell me about my shortcomings (缺点)．Week by week her list became 1 ：I was very short, and I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, and so on．I tried to stand(忍受)all of these as long as I could． 2 , I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears(眼泪) in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly, and then asked, “Are the things that she said true or not? Jane, have you ever 3 what you're really like? Now you have that girl's ideas．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 4 ．Pay no attention to the other things that she said．”
I did as he told me．To my great surprise, I found that about half of the things were true．Some of them I couldn't 5 , like being very short, but a good number of them I could．I wanted to change the bad things in me, and for the first time I knew something about myself in a very 6 way．
I brought the list back to my father．He refused to take it．“That's just for you,” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself, but sometimes others' opinions are also important, so you 7 learn how to listen, and not just 8 your ears in anger and feel hurt(受伤害)．When something that is said about you is true, you'll find that it will be 9 to you．Our world is full of people who think that they know you．Don't shut your ears．Listen to all of them, 10 the truth and do what you think is the right thing to do．” I have remembered my father's advice at many important moments．I have never had a better piece of advice in my whole life．
