“I don’t like my parents. They __36▲_ tell me I should do this, and I should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry.” Said Hang Hua, a middle school student in Nanjing. Do you have the same _37▲__? Why does it seem that some parents are so __38▲__ in their children’s eyes?

Since(自从……以来) you were born, your parents have worried about everything about you. They __39▲__ about your choice(选择) of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, __40▲__ sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up __41▲__ and happily.

So how can you __42▲__ things easier on yourself? It’s easier __43▲__ you think. Just let your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else __44▲__ than usual. Say __45▲__ to them when you are wrong. Take responsibility(责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about __46▲__ with you. Most of all, try __47▲__ them. They are still __48▲__ being parents and need your help, too. Someday, when you become a parent, they may give you __49▲__ on how to get on with your __50▲__.
