When young children are learning to ride a bicycle, they require that their parents hold on to the back of the bike so that they gain confidence and won’t fall off．
However, when children leave to go to college, or get married, parents must accept that their children are riding off into their own future．At this time, parents shouldn’t stand back and with the children gone, they are left with an empty nest．How can parents get through this period of life?
The first thing you should do is nothing at all．You should actually take some time to rest since your child was born．Just relax and reward yourself for the work you put into your child．
Taking some time for yourself will allow you to adjust to the change and figure out how you really feel about your child’s departure(离开)．You shouldn’t compare how you feel with how other people feel, as everyone’s experience of an empty nest is different．
Exercise is a great mood lifter．A physical fitness program may have been one of the first sacrifices(牺牲)you made when your child came along; now, with fewer duties, you’ll have time to hit the gym regularly．If you have a friend who also has become an empty nester recently, you may have found a new companion．Not only will you get the chance to share dealing with tips, you’ll also create social opportunities for yourself, which will get you out of that empty house if you need to．
We all have those things that we say we’ll do or learn “someday”．If you’re an empty nester, the “someday” might just be now．
If you’re not sure exactly what to do in all your spare time, take your time and think about it．It will, however, probably be easier to figure out your dream when you’re out．Try exploring a nearby museum or attraction you’ve never visited．
Many parents may fear an empty nest because they worry that their little birds have flown away forever．Try setting up a regular phone date with your child．A once-a-week call may make you feel satisfied while giving your child a reasonable degree of freedom．
Pedro knew that he would soon have to leave school again． He had been here for about seven weeks． Now the days were getting long and warm． He and his family would soon be taking off (离开)． Every year it was the same． All his people had to go where they could work the crops in the fields．
Every year Pedro went to at least five schools． He had been to so many schools he couldn't think of their names． He couldn't even remember the towns where they were．
However, he enjoyed staying with his people． He liked the days when they let him stay home from school and work． He was proud of his brothers and sisters, and his father and mother． He liked all the other people who went from place to place with them．
To Pedro they were like a big, happy crowd of friends． They would come home tired each night after working long hours． Sometimes they had to work on wet ground all day． But they would come home and laugh and joke with each other．
When they moved, they put everything they had on an old truck and took off． Sometimes the truck would break down on the road． Then they had to stop by the roadside and fix it． But that's the way they all lived． Pedro didn't mind it too much． But he did hope that someday things would change． He wanted to stay in the same school for a while so that he could make some friends with kids his own age．
1．Pedro was
A．from a factory worker's family．．
B．from a farmer's family．
