12.I am the father of two girls.One is eight,the other six.They have (41)Bme many things.
While I might not know enough about fatherhood to write a book,I know a listeningfather is a(n)(42)Afather.I have come to see that one of the arts of fatherhood is getting my children to(43)Dabout themselves.
My two daughters have taught me that listening is the(44)Cto enter someone else's world,and then engage(接洽) with that world from the(45)A.So I invented a way to enter my daughters'worlds with the single aim of(46)D to their little hearts.We call it the Bedtime Story.
Each(47)C,after the day has been long,crawl into bed with them.The Bedtime story has become an important activity in our(48)D.Little do they know that the Bedtime story is actually just the excuse to(49)B a conversation with them.A nightly story with Dad is just the thing to turn the(50)A of their little hearts.
Good stories have characters my(51)A can relate to,characters that are easier to talk about than  their own lives.Good stories get children talking about themselves as they(52)Bthemselves in the characters.They process the story(53)Cthe only lens(镜头)they have-their own lives.
They(54)Dtalk about their own fears,hopes,shortcomings and secret intentions.It is just the raw material a father (55)B.I ask questions."Why do you think the hobbit(霍比特人 said that to the dwarf?"
Answer:‘The hobbit was feeling sad(56)B  the dwarf was mean to him."
"And what do you think a hobbit(57)Ado when a dwarf is being cruel to him on a long journey
"Don't know.(58)D.Maybe the hobbit cried.
"Ella,do you ever have people who are (59)Cto you?"
And so we end up talking about the monsters(恶魔)in her little world,and finding(60)Ctogether

9.We are not born with courage,but neither are we born with fear.Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences,by what someone has told you,by what you've read in the papers.Some fears are reasonable,like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning.But once you learn to avoid that situation,you won't need to live in fear of it.
Fears,even the most basic ones,can totally destroy our ambitions.Fear can destroy fortunes.Fear can destroy relationships.Fear,if left uncontrolled,can destroy our lives.Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us.
Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within.The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference.What a tragic disease this is!"Ho-hum,let it slip.I'll just drift along."Here's one problem with drifting:you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain.
The second enemy we face is indecision.Indecision is the thief of opportunity and cause.It will steal your chances for a better future.Take a sword to this enemy.
The third enemy inside is doubt.Sure,there's room for healthy skepticism.You can't believe everything.But you can't let doubt take over,either.Many people doubt the past,doubt the future,doubt each other,doubt the government,doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.Worse of all,they doubt themselves.I'm telling you,doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success.It will empty both your bank account and your heart.Doubt is an enemy.Go after it.Get rid of it.
The fourth enemy within is worry.We've all got to worry some.Just don't let it defeat you.Instead,let it alarm you.Worry can be useful.If you step off the sidewalk in New York City and a taxi is coming,you've got to worry.But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner.Here's wh at you've got to do with your worries:drive them into a small corner.Whatever is out to get you,you've got to get it.Whatever is pushing on you,you've got to push back.
The fifth enemy inside is over-caution.It is the timid(胆怯) approach to life.Timidity is not a virtue; it's an illness.If you let it go,it'll defeat you.Timid people don't get promoted.They don't advance and grow.You've got to avoid over-caution.
Do battle with the enemies.Do battle with your fears.Build your courage to fight what's holding you back,what's keeping you from your goals and dreams.Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.
