One day I was watching a movie at home and tears dropped from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me why I was crying. I   31  slient as I couldn’t explain to him it was just an emotional thing. To my surprise, he  32   my face with his little hand and said, ” Dear Mom, stop crying! You see  33   will be fine. You’re my good girl. So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him saying this to me I could not help  34   .It was so funny for a child to say so .Later I  35   that he had repeated(重复) almost the  36   thing that I told him when he was crying.

The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to  37   what his parents have been telling him for a long time. Usually parents  38  with the words ”Mama” ,”Papa” and so on .But as the child  39   learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being  40   ,we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing that in a more   41   way than before. We always use words that we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words, we  42    where he has learned them. Even then , some of us don’t realize that the child has learned the words only from us only. 43   We start to put the blame ( 指责) on either his friends or somebody who has talked to him when we are not present.

So if you want your child to have perfect   44   , you’ll have to set a good example to him. And if you can’t do this, you have no right to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great  45   over his child.

One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重复) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

him for a long time. Usually parents start with the words “Mama” , “Papa” and so on. But as the child 　39 learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being taught, we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored (教导)by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing it in a more active way than before. We 　40 use words which we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words , we 　41 where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don’t realize the child has learned the words from us only. Instead we start to put the blame(指责)on his friends , or 　42 who has talked to him when we’re not present.

　　 So if you want your child to have perfect behavior, you’ll have to 43 a good example to him. And if you can’t do that, you have no 　44 to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great 　45 over their child.

 The volunteers who brought the nine-year-old to the orphanage* knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They had left her long ago.

At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else -- to be independent*. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary.

And then, in 1975, while she was still working as a common secretary, something very unusual happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition -- and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now Mary Cheung was very popular in Hong Kong.

Mary entered the competition because she was full of ambitions* and because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then to a business manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough,” she said. Fortunately, she had a boy-friend (who later became her husband) to help her.

Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own company in 1995. But she was still working hard to develop herself. She then studied for a Fine Arts degree at the University of Hong Kong. Her ambition was to teach arts in Hong Kong. Since 1987, she has spent a lot of her time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places, including China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV and for charity, to write for newspapers and bring up her family.
