Peter wondered why he didn't have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.
One day Peter told Bill, "I'd like to give a party on Saturday, I'd like you to come and bring Martha, too."
"Thanks, Peter. We'd be happy to come." "Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I'm sure everyone will want you to sing for us." That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake." You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery." Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party.

The story of Tom Edison
Many years ago, a boy, named Thomas Alva Edison, lived in a small town in Ohio. Tom was a lively child. He was always taking things apart（分开）and put them together again or trying to put them together.
One day his father said, “Look at this! Another broken（坏的）toy!” “Now don’t be hard on him,” said his mother. “He only wants to see how things work.” But even she lost patience with him when he almost burned down（烧毁）the family’s barn! Tom was more careful, but it was hard when he was curious（好奇的）.
Then the family moved to Michigan. By now, Tom was old enough（足够的）to go to school. Unfortunately, he didn’t like to sit quietly and listen to the teacher or memorize（背诵）his lessons.
Because Tom spent most of his time daydreaming, his teachers thought there was something wrong with him. But he just liked experimenting（做实验）more than he liked school. Tom’s mother decided to teach him at home. Soon, he loved to read, especially about science.
At 12, Tom got a job on a train selling candy, newspapers and sandwiches. His father agreed.
Two days later, Tom was at the station to begin his job.
Before long, Tom set up（建立）a laboratory in the train’s baggage car. When he finished his work, he would experiment.
At 16, he got his first real job as a night telegraph operator（夜间电报员） and station agent（火车站管理员）. But Tom can never hold a job very long. He was either too tired from studying or too busy experimenting to do his job. So Tom decided to spend more time inventing（发明）things. He was independent（独立的）and hard working.
Some of Tom’s inventions began to be noticed. Then Tom happened to be in New York at the gold exchange （黄金交易所） when an important machine broke down（损坏）. Tom walked in, and in an hour or two, he had the machine running perfectly. In the following months, Tom invented a way to improve the machine. The company paid him $40,000 for his invention. “I’m going into business for myself,” said Tom.

Is there anything that could help parents understand their kids better? More than 8,000 kids answered this question in an online survey by Time for Kids and Kids Health. Org.
Many kids — two out of three — said they _______ their parents. But that doesn’t mean they _______ disagree. In fact, most kids reported _______ with their parents on occasion(偶尔). Some even reported that their arguments included shouting at each other.
“It’s certainly _______ to disagree and argue,” says D’Arcy Lyness, a child psychologist(心理学家). “But it’s also important to learn how to do so politely.”
It is not _______ that three out of four kids said they had lied(撒谎) to their parents sometimes. Many said they lied _______ they wouldn’t get in trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness, lying can have bad _______. If kids lie when they’re young, they might continue a pattern of lying even as adults.
Telling the truth, on the other hand, shows maturity(成熟). But older kids actually lie more _______ than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lied more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along as well with their _______.
According to Lyness, these feelings are common. As kids become more ________, they have more areas of disagreement with their parents.
