Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I  1 . I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father  2 ,too.” But what about the other days of the year?

I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day I went to see her. We had a nice conversation . Then she wanted to  3 . So she dialed(拨号)the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen  4 , she dialed the number again “Hi, Mom.”

Later I asked."  5  did you dial the number twice?” She smiled. “My parents are old and  6  . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them   7 time to answer the call.”

My friend is a good girl. She is  8  thinking about her parents. You also want to be a   9 child. Right? Please always remember to  10 your parents in every situation, not just on some important days.

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary   1  of the learning process. But too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We convey(传达)  2   by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but   3  performance pleases us.

  4 I see a child under this kind of pressure ,I think of Jack. He is a shy, nervous perfectionist. He   5 answered questions—he might be   6  .

I try my best to    7 his self-confidence. And I repeatedly  8  God for direction. But   9  changed until midterm, when Mary, a student teacher, came to our classroom.

One day we were working with math problems. Jack had copied the problems with care. 10  with his progress, I left the children with Mary .When I returned, Jack was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.

At that time, Mary got a box  11  with pencils from the desk we shared. “Look, Jack ! I’ve got something to show you.” she said.“ See these pencils, they belong to Mrs. Green and me. See how the erasers are   12  ? That’s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try   13  . That’s what you must learn to do, too.” Jack looked up with  14  in his eyes---the first time I’d see on his face that year.

Jack gradually believe him that it’s all  15 to make mistakes – as long as you erase them and try again.
