One day I was watching a movie at home and tears dropped from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me why I was crying. I   31  slient as I couldn’t explain to him it was just an emotional thing. To my surprise, he  32   my face with his little hand and said, ” Dear Mom, stop crying! You see  33   will be fine. You’re my good girl. So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him saying this to me I could not help  34   .It was so funny for a child to say so .Later I  35   that he had repeated(重复) almost the  36   thing that I told him when he was crying.

The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to  37   what his parents have been telling him for a long time. Usually parents  38  with the words ”Mama” ,”Papa” and so on .But as the child  39   learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being  40   ,we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing that in a more   41   way than before. We always use words that we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words, we  42    where he has learned them. Even then , some of us don’t realize that the child has learned the words only from us only. 43   We start to put the blame ( 指责) on either his friends or somebody who has talked to him when we are not present.

So if you want your child to have perfect   44   , you’ll have to set a good example to him. And if you can’t do this, you have no right to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great  45   over his child.

One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重复) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

Today, after many days of practice and lots of matches, we entered the basketball final.
I was the leader of the team. At the very beginning, one student from our team got the ball and quickly shot a basket. Oh, it went in, 2:0. All our classmates cheered.
But after a few minutes there were some mistakes and we lost eight points. I changed two players, but it didn’t help.
At that time all our teammates felt worried and we even quarreled with each other angrily.  “It’s no use crying over spilt milk!” I shouted, “We must face it !” Let’s think about our mistakes and stop making them!”
We had a short meeting . The second half of the match began. There was a big change. At first, our team got the ball and I shot from the three-point line at once. The ball did a beautiful curve and went straight into the basket.
I become very confident. The other team was still very strong.
A good chance came! I got the ball again and shot into the basket! 12:9! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Am I that good at shooting? How could I get so many points?
We stayed in the lead. Finally the score was 18:16. We won!
