ever since, he was a little child.
One day when he was at high school, he was asked to write a paper. It was about what he wanted to
be and do when he grew up. He worked hard on it, and wrote a seven-page paper. In the paper he
described his dream of owning a big horse ranch someday.
The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front
page was a large red F(fail) with a note that read, "See me after class."
He went to see the teacher after class and asked, "Why did I receive an F?"
The teacher answered, "this is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor
family. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land.
There's no way you could ever do it." Then he added, "Write this paper again. If you write it with a
realistic plan, you may receive a better grade. "
After sitting with it for a week, he turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He said to the
teacher, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream. "
Monty kept his dream and worked very hard. Today he owns a large horse ranch with a big house
on it, and he keeps that school paper he wrote on the wall of his sitting room.
Last summer the same school teacher came to visit him. When the teacher was leaving, he said,
"Look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I
stole a lot of children's dreams. It was lucky that you hadn't given up yours. "

David, 16, is a senior school student. One evening, after he mentioned at dinner that he was thinking of trying out for the school play, his mom kept asking about it for weeks. And later, it also felt like she was getting too involved (参与) in something he wanted to do himself. Instead of telling his mom how he felt, David decided it would be easier not to tell her anything he was doing in the future.
A good way to get a parent to ask fewer questions is to offer some information on your own. This puts the communication in your hands. The more you keep a parent told about everyday things, the less they need to ask. Communicating everyday things has another advantage: It can show your parents that you’re responsible enough to make good decisions.
It won’t always be easy. You may get frustrated (受挫) at times. But try not to give up. It may take a bit for a parent who is used to making all the decisions to adjust (适合) to the independent-thinking person their child is becoming. Parents also don’t want to see their sons and daughters suffer (受苦) if the choices they make on their own aren’t the “right” ones. To many parents, it seems easier to step in and take control simply because they believe their years of experience put them in a better position to make decisions. If you feel that’s the case (情况) with your parents, talk to them about it.

| A．talk the things about them |
| B．have a good time with them |
| C．show your thanks to them |
| D．do something good for them |

| B．tell your parents more information before you are asked |
| C．keep your parents asking you more questions of your things |

| D．communicate with parents |
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
