It is a very simple song, but it is also a great challenge(挑战) to me. “The easiest is the most difficult,” said Liu Huan. “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I got the invitation to sing the song. It is a great honor(荣誉) for me and I am very lucky,” said Sarah Brightman.

And it sounds beautiful and keeps to the game’s theme of “One World, One Dream”. It shows that there’s no difference in language or race(种族).

Very often, new-born babies aren’t beautiful. They’re wrinkled (皱褶), or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, “Get away!I hate everybody.” But to a parent, that wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When a proud (自豪的) parent asks you, “Well, what do you think…? Isn’t she beautiful?” What are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth (真相)? Of course not!
You look at that proud parent in the eye and say, “Yes, she is! She is really a beauty. She’s going to be a movie star! I can tell!”
In English this is a white lie. White lies don’t hurt (伤害) people. They aren’t angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don’t want to meet someone, or they eat something new that they really don’t like at a friend’s house, they’ll tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don’t want to hurt anyone. It’s important to be honest, but being kind is sometimes more important.

“I don't like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua,a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born (出生). They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice (选择) of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don't call everybody in the phone book looking for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (负责任) for what you did. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help from you. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.Parents sometimes look so unfriendly because ______.
