“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very　 36　 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have　 37　  it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the　 38　 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of　 39  is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid　 40　 trouble.
I admit that we should keep　 41　 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your　 42　 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do　43　 to make things better.
I used to be a(n)  44　 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in  45 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 　 46　 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher　 47　 me to go to the blackboard and　 48　 what I knew. If I had　 49　 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s  50　, I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I　 51　 you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as　 52　 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know　 53　 I do can make things better. Everyone is the　 54　 of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active　55　 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.

　　I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop 　36　me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 　37　to earn my own pocket money and my parents 　38　interfered with how I spent it, even when I was spending it 　39　. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 　40　, I would become more mature and 　41　 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

　　Like many 　42　parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 　43　a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 　44　. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 　45　for me. In the end, my father won the 　46　on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 　47　through the country who could 　48　shelter and help if I needed them.

　　Three years later, my younger brother decided to 　49　a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean.

　　These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 　53　. Most parents start 　54　their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have 　55　the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.
