Years ago,when I was working at a children’s institution,a boy 1 up in the waiting room.It was David.He had 2 his parents.He was very sad 3 to talk to others.
The first two times we met,David didn’t say a word.He sat in the chair and only 4 up at the children’s drawings on the wall.As he was about to leave 5 the second visit,I put my hand on his 6 .He didn’t shrink (退缩) back,but he didn’t look at me either.
“Come back next week,” I hesitated a bit.
He came,and I suggested we play a game of chess.He  7 .After that we played  8 every time,in complete  9 and without making any eye contact.It’s not  10 to cheat in chess,but I admit that I made sure David won  11 .
It seemed as if he enjoyed my  12 .But why did he never look at me?Perhaps he sensed that I respected his suffering.I kept wondering and  13with him,until some months later,  14 ,
he looked up at me.“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day,David started  15 .He got friends in school.He wrote me a few  16 about how he would try to get into university.After some time,the letters  17 .Now he had really started to live his own life.
I learned how  18cures pain.And David showed me how one—without any  19 —can reach out to another person.All it takes is a shoulder to cry on,a  20 touch and an ear that listens.

Making Peace with Your Parents

As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.   1  .

Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation --- for now.  2  . Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.   3  .

Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.

   4   . How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers --- they’re interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping --- just like their teenagers!

What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?   5  . You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.

Remember you can only change your own behavior. You parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

A.It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.

B.You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.

C.And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.

D.Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.

E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.

F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.

G. You may consider seeking outside help.

 

I am always eager to do experiments, especially chemistry ones. It's   _26_  to work with test tubes and beakers(烧杯) , even though sometimes my efforts end in__27___. Experiments were fun for me  __28  a recent accident.

The teacher told me that the test tube broke in half at the bottom because we didn't dry it properly before __36___ it.

We calmed down and did the experiment, again. But our hearts were still __37____ rapidly even after we walked out of the lab.

But my bad __38___ didn't end there! Since all __39     was focused on the flames while we were in the lab, I didn't see the liquid falling onto my trousers.

During the following class, I felt a __40___ in my leg. Soon it became more and more painful and I touched the area with my fingers,   _41_  to make things better. But to my great    42___ , the material of my trousers turned into powder! “Vitrio(硫酸)! ! !”The terrible word came into my mind. I rushed out right away to wash and examine my poor skin.  _43_  , it was not a serious injury.

After changing my __44____I sat down and told myself: danger is no joke! It's very important to have a serious___45___ in chemistry class. Doing scientific experiments as a learner is no laughing matter.
