7．I hear some actors keep a sad thought or memory tucked away to help them with scenes where they might need to cry．I think we should each try to find the opposite； a happy memory，something to lift us on those inevitable（难以避免的） days．I'm saying this because I just found mine．
I have some work in Glasgow today．I was on a really tight schedule，which meant I would have no time for myself all day．I was having one of those days，the train was completely packed out and the conversation going on around me seemed to be particularly meaningless．On top of all that，I had a bit a headache．
Walking quickly across the hall，I fished some change from my pocket．There was usually someone at the exit selling The Big Issue（a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living）．As the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall，I saw someone selling the Big Issue．You had to be homeless to sell the Big Issue．She really looked like she'd been sleeping rough．Her clothes were ragged and she was also rocking from side to side．At first I thought maybe she was trying to keep warm against the biting wind，But she wasn't，she was moving in time to a tune．I couldn't hear her，but I could see her lips moving．As I got closer，I saw a white cane hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken（干瘪的） eyes．She was blind，dirty and living on the streets．I came closer and through the noise of the traffic I heard her sing the immortal（永生的） line，"-and I think to myself，what a wonderful world!"I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally intended．She thanked me，then she picked up her stuff and went tapping off along the pavement-still singing!
So，I have my happy memory for the day．And I think it will stay with me a long，long time．Feel free to borrow it if you like．

6．Dear daughter，
As we drove off from Columbia，I wanted to write to tell you all that is on my mind．First，I want to tell you how proud we are．Getting into Columbia is a real testament（证明） of what a great well-rounded student you are．You should be as proud of yourself as we are．
Your college years will be the most important of your life．It is in college that you will discover what learning is about．This will be the period when you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become a self-learner．So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn is of no practical use in real life，the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever．
Follow your passion（激情） in college．Take courses you think you will enjoy，don't be bothered by what others think or say，but make up your own mind．Most importantly，make true friends and be happy．Don't worry about their hobbies，grades，looks or even personalities．
Start planning early what you'd like to do．Where would you like to live？What would you like to learn？I think your plan to study fashion is good，and you should decide where you want to be，and get onto the right courses．I will always be there for you，but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat-this is your life，and you need to be in control．Being in control feels great．Try it，and you will love it!
So please treasure your college years-make the best use of your free time，become an independent thinker in control of your destiny，and learn through your successes and challenges．
May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life，and may you grow into just what you dream to be．
Love，
Dad & Mom．
（From Kai-Fu Lee's letter to his daughter）

2．When a child is told he is"uncool"，it can be very painful．He may say he doesn't care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose．But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there．
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful．If you say，"Why are you worried about what other children think about you？It doesn't matter!"Children know that it does matter．Instead，an active way may be best．You could say，"I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school．"
If a boy is having trouble making friends，the teacher can help him．The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects．This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him．A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child．It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child，or let him be a partner with that child in activities，etc．
There are things that parents can do at home，too．Be friendly when your child brings others home to play．Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider"super"．When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends．
What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out．Then，if he has good qualities，he can start to build real friendship of his own．

1．How do you know if your mother likes you or not？That is a question I have been struggling with a lot lately．My mother and I used to talk on the phone a few times a day．I saw her at least twice a week．Now she doesn't answer when I call，and never calls me back．She doesn't see me and then complains that I don't see her enough．
It all started a few months ago，I started having a date with a man，and we became serious quickly．This is not the first boyfriend I have had．I know she isn't mad at me for my finding love．The turn-in events happened when I moved from about 15minutes away from my mom to 1.5hours away from her．She encouraged it，she seemed happy，and she helped me pack．Since then，everything has changed．
I can't tell if she cares about me and I don't know if she is bitter．When I call her，she says she is busy and will call me back．Then the problem is that she never calls me back，I make plans with her，but she cancels．Then when I do see her，she gives me comments like"It's been a while since you came to see me"．It seems like I haven't tried．It's very frustrating．
I don't know what is wrong，and she won't talk to me，so I can't find out．Does anyone have any advice for what to do in a situation like this？Part of me wants to cry and stop trying．But not talking to her tears me apart．Please give me some advice below．
