4．Since graduating，Mr．Ryan Piester has worked as a therapist（治疗学家） and behavioral specialistconsultant （心理咨询家）．Also，Mr．Piester has four years of experience working with troubled teens．
Question1：Why do some teens not listen to theirparents'advice and end up getting in trouble？
Teenagers who see their parents as someone"always telling me what to do"or"nagging（批评） me all the time"are less likely to listen to their parents'advice．Parents should try not to talk repeatedly about issues that do not affect them like hairstyles，music，or an untidy room．
If they respecttheir teenagers'right to be private，their children will be more likely to listen to them about subjects that matter such as drugs，sex，and the importance of schooling．Also，parents do not always need to offer advice on their teens'personal lives．
Often the teen just wants someone to listen to their problems and can become resentful（愤恨的） if others keep on telling them what they should do．If you have advice，be sure that you listen to their side of the story，their feelings and their ideas first．
Question 2：What can parents do to help keep their teens out of trouble？
The key for parents is to balance their waywith punishment and love．Be strict but fair．Too much strict reaction （反应） from their parents will destroy the relationship between children and their parents．All people，including teens，are more likely to listen to people whom they like．

3．The teacher stood before his class of 30students and was going to hand out the final exam papers．"I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test．"he said．"And because I know you are all able to understand these questions．I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test．"
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom．The teacher looked at the rest students and said．"Does anyone else want to get a B？This is your last chance．"Two more students decided to go．Seven students stayed．The teacher then handed out the papers．There were only three sentences on the paper：Congratulations!You have received an A in this class．Keep believing in yourself．
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that，but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give．Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most．The same is true for students in real life．The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures．They have learned life's lessons whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better people．Scientists say that by the age of eight，80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed（形成）．You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits （局限）．
However，there is nothing you can't do or learn to be．Sir Edmund Hillary，the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma said，"We do not conquer （征服） the mountain，but ourselves．"

2．There was a lovely vegetable patch （菜园）．A large tree grew there．Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look，and they were the pride of the gardener．But no one knew that the vegetables and the tree couldn't stand each other．The vegetables hated the tree's shadow （阴影），because it left them only just enough light to live．The tree，on the other hand，hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water，leaving him just enough to live．
The situation became so serious that the vegetables decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die．The tree answered back by not protecting the vegetables from the hot sun，so they began to dry up．Soon the vegetables were really weak，and the tree was drying up．
The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them．When he did that，both the tree and the vegetables realized that it was better to help each other．They learned how to live in harmony with those around them．So they decided to work together，using both the shade and the water to grow well．After seeing how well they were doing，the gardener gave the best care to his vegetable patch，watering and fertilizing （施肥） it better than any other patch for miles around．
