Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, strict man—not the kind of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager knowing little about life, I wanted a father who could 小题1: the mysteries of the human journey. In college, when friends called home for 小题2:, I would become 小题3: for what I didn’t have.
Then one night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, he 小题4: the problem with me. Obviously my knowledge of law helped him a lot. I talked through the problem with him, 小题5: the motives of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies.
He 小题6: patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I’m a 小题7: man.”
My father is a 小题8: scientist who has a good knowledge of the building blocks of nature. 小题9:, human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized he was simply not skilled at 小题10: people. It’s not in his 小题11: to understand human desires.
It was no one’s 小题12: that my father showed no interest in human emotions while I placed great importance on them. We are sometimes born more sensitive, and dreamy than our 小题13: and become more curious, and idealistic than them. 小题14: I, who knew my father as an intelligent man, had never understood his intelligence didn’t cover all of my 小题15: feelings.
I believe that coming home has 小题16: me years of questions and confusion. I nowadays consider my parents as people who have other relationships than just being my parents, relationships that 小题17: and define them.
Best of all, I nowadays regard my parents as 小题18:: people who ask me for advice; people who need my 小题19: and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past in a 小题20: view. Knowing them makes me feel safe in where I come from and where I’m going.

“I didn"t hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said "yes" and it was announced again."
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana -- she was still on cloud nine.
"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). "She"s always been my role model. I"ve danced with her since I was six. She"s been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I"ve learned to get over bad life"s experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
One of those bad life"s experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don"t let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."

I received a letter from a grandmother who told me about her four-year-old granddaughter Skylar. Ever since Skylar 31 of Disneyland from TV, she 32 her nickels and dimes (零钱) in a piggy bank in 33 of visiting there someday. Her parents 34 her with a trip when she was four, however, and didn"t even 35 her to use her own money!
When Skylar returned. It was 36. She decided to buy presents with her 37. But she also learned from announcements on TV about a local 38 shelter called "The Road House". She 39 asked her mother what "homeless" meant and why those children 40 coats and warm clothes. She couldn"t seem to get the homeless off her mind.
Her mother took her to the store to buy 41. Instead of buying for herself or her family, however, she 42 to purchase a warm coat, socks and gloves for a little girl in the 43 .She also wanted to buy a doll, but when she 44 she didn"t have enough money, she left the doll 45 .
When Skylar got home, she chose one of her 46 dolls and put it into the box with the other items she bought that day. She could hardly wait for Christmas! Skylar was thinking about going to the shelter and giving her carefully 47 gifts to a homeless child. She was much filled with joy at 48 helping someone else.
"Perhaps it"s good to have a beautiful mind, 49 an even greater gift is to have a beautiful heart," says Nobel Laureate John Hash. Young Skylar has a beautiful heart. It is one 50 , above all else, which makes beautiful people.

Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered ,“Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
“Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples(波纹) go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
小题1: Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?| A．Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. | | B．Because the writer was insincere. | | C．Because the student was naughty. | | D．Because the answer was difficult to understand. |
小题2: According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?| A．The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. | | B．The writer’s answer made the student confused. | | C．In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. | | D．The writer annoyed the student who asked the question. |
小题3: We can infer from the text that .| A．the writer was also a good teacher in school | | B．the writer often plays with her students beside a pond | | C．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students | | D．the writer often accompanies the students on their way home. |

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It"s like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 小题1: .
Once I heard a bald(秃头的) man said. “Whenever I enter a room, 小题2: I see is hair." Once you"ve 小题3: what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will 小题4: make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 小题5: , or forget about it and 小题6: the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively 小题7: life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 小题8: remain happy.
The first 小题9: is gratitude. All happy people are 小题10: . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 小题11: , but it"s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret, is 小题12: that happiness is a byproduct(副产品) of something else. The most obvious 小题13: are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 小题14: studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 小题15: to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 小题16: has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 小题17: a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy, it should 小题18: this truth: if you choose to find the 小题19: in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 小题20: your decision to make.
