certain college(大学) in America was having trouble(麻烦) with its boy students. The weather was so
bad that the students must stay indoors(在室内). Since they could not enjoy(享受) their sports outside,
they were unhappy, and some of them even got into fights(争斗).
Finally one of the teachers at the college, J.E. Naismith, was asked to invent(发明) a new game for
the students. It was not an easy job because such a game had to be played indoors, and the court(球场)
was not very large.
Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, exciting game with
much moving and passing. It was played between two teams. To make a score, the ball had to be thrown
into a basket ten feet(英尺) high above the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was a basket. At first, Naismith had planned to have the ball thrown into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right
size, he had to use fruit baskets instead. That is how the game got its name.

As the little boy grew up, he no longer played around the tree.? One day the boy came back to the
tree. He looked sad.
"What's troubling you?" asked the tree.
The boy replied (回答): "I want my own house. I need money to buy it."
"You can pick my apples and sell them. Then you will have money."
The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.
A few years later, the boy returned. He told the tree that he wanted to go sailing around the world."Use
my branches (树干) to build your boat. You can sail far and be happy." So the boy cut the tree branch to
make a boat. He went sailing and didn't return for a long, long time.
Many years later, the boy returned. "Sorry, but I don't have anything for you anymore," the tree said,
crying.
"All I need is a place to rest. I am tired after my travels."
The tree replied: "Good! Old tree roots are the best place to rest." The boy sat down and the tree was
glad.
The tree in this story is like your parents. Your parents are stable (可靠的) and giving, like a tree, and
will always love you, no matter where you are.?

to give us our freedom if they trust us. If you want your parents to trust you more, you have to show them
through your actions.
Let your parents know what's going on at school and with your friends. If you truly can be trusted, then
you have nothing to hide, right? Keep your bedroom door open when you are back. Do not be crazy when they
see what you are looking at on the Internet. Invite your friends to your house to meet your parents.
When you do something wrong, it can break trust. Broken trust takes a long time to rebuild.
It's not easy dealing with your parents when you've broken their trust. But, it can be done. It's not talking
about groveling (低声下气) and sweet-talking them into trust. I'm talking about getting them to respect you
again.
I find it easy to make the mistake of no telling my parents things I've done wrong, hoping they won't find
out. There are lots of reasons:
I don't want to get into trouble;
I don't want them to be disappointed or get mad at me;
I don't want to lose their trust;
I don't think they will ever find out.
And the list goes on and on. But they find out somehow, and then you're in hot water. Of course, even if
Mom and Dad never find out, you still know about.
Most parents will respect you more for coming to them and telling them yourself. Doing so shows honesty,
responsibility and maturity (成熟). If you can't tell them face to face, you can try writing a note.
Trust can't be built in a day or even a week, but you can gradually do things to help your parents build trust
in you.
B. Freedom.
C. Love.
D. Clothes.
B. Tell them not to be disappointed.
C. Introduce your friends to them.
D. Get their respect and trust by actions.
B. 遇到麻烦
C. 想喝热水
D. 洗热水澡
B. The parents will respect and trust you more if you tell them yourself.
C. Trust can be built soon if children make mistakes.
D. Parents never believe their children if trust is broken.
B. Children Want More Freedom
C. How Can Children Be Trusted Again
