When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list 1. : I was very thin; I wasn’t a 2. student; I talked too much; I was too 3., always feeling superior to(胜过) others, and so on. I tried to hear all as long as I could. 4., I became very angry. I ran to my father with 5. in my eyes.

He listened to me 6. , and then he asked,“Are the things she says true or not? Janet, don’t you ever wonder 7. you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s 8. . Go and 9.a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 10. . Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did11.he told me. To my great 12., I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t 13. (like being very thin),but a good number I could--- and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 14. picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He 15.to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said，“You know 16. than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 17., not just close your ears in anger, feeling 18. when something said about you is true, you will find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your affairs. Don’t shut your 19.. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice has always 20. to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
