Do you often communicate with your parents? Some parents are always comparing their 41 with themselves when they were young or with other people when they were children.
"When I was your age," a father said to his sixteen-year-old son one day, "I was at the top of my class every year. And I 42 what I wanted to do when I left school. I had goals (目标). You are always at the bottom (最后) of your class 43 you have no goals."
The man’s son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father many times. "And when your mother was your age, " the young man’s father 44 , " she had a good job and she 45 lots of money. You don’t even have a part-time job .You earn nothing. " The man’s son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too. "And when your 46 brother was your age, "the young man’s father said, "he studied hard. But you just waste your time."
And the man’s son still said nothing.
Finally, the young man’s father said, "And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he worked all day and studied at night."
This time the son 47 stay silent. "
And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, father," he said, "He was the President of 48 United States. 49 are you?"
His father had no answer 50 this.
Are your parents always comparing you with others? And what’s your reply? Do you have a better way to communicate with each other?

It was an English speech(演讲)contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to in front of all the teachers and students of my school!“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to . ”Then, Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I the topic“Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the from the teachers and students. Those classmates who once on me, now all said “Congratulations!”to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

In New York,on a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of a train station.He was playing his violin.His music was so great that many people put money into his.
The next day ,the young artist came to the place, and played the violin as usual. Different from the day before,he took out a piece of paper and put on the ground.The paper read ,“Last night ,a man named George Sang put an important thing into my hat .Please come to get it soon..”
Afterabout half an hour,a(an) man there in a hurry, “Oh ,it’s you . You did come here.”The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr George Sang?” “Yes!Yes!”Then the violinist asked , “Did you lose something?” “Lottery(彩票).It’s the most valuable lottery in my 70 years of life,”said the man.
The violinist a lottery ticket. George Sang’s name was on it, so the violinist it to him.
Later someone asked the violinist, “Since you play the violin every day to make your tuition (学费)in the university, why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?”
The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”
Through our lives , we can get a lot and lose so much. But being should always be with us. If we act in a dishonest way, we may in a short period. However, from the long-term view, we will be a loser.
