“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▲__.

I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one     was the most important.
It happened last term just after I had got a     result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided to go to a class which can tell me how to be   .
The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking   a teacher. In­stead, he held up a twenty yuan note(钞票) !
"Who wants this?" he asked. Unsurprisingly,     of us in the class held up our hands.
The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we all put up our hands. The speaker smiled again, but     nothing. Sud­denly, he threw the note onto the floor!  Then he asked the same   a third time.
I didn' t     what the speaker was doing. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn't know what to do. I wanted the note,     I put my hand up again. Af­ter a while, he   the note and started to laugh. "You have all just told me how to be­come successful, "   said to us with the note in his hand.
"The note is worth twenty yuan. It is     worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter   happens to you, you still have your worth."
When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I   I was worth a lot. I may have done in an exam, but it doesn't     I can' t do well in the future. If I believe in myself, I will be successful!

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I __31__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could __32__ have that money.

　　On my birthday my parents told me they had my __33__ outside in the back yard. At once, I __34__ out to the yard. There was my bike, __35__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so __36__! I thought I __37__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment __38__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I __39__ the old bike and rode it, feeling __40__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’ t __41__.

　　As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me __42__ much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about __43__. When you give something out of love, it doesn’ t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this __44__ because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that __45__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
