Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams.
But why still can’t their children understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean”? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, parents will not treat their children as little ones.In the eyes of most parents, children never ____________and seldom do_____________.
Most parents always think they _______________ the best things for their children to live in the world _______________.
Children still _________________their parents because what children need most is not material things but _________________.
Most parents want their children to get _________________in the exams while their children want to get _______________.
The way to __________________ between parents and children is that they should have more communication with each other. Then, no children will ______________as little ones.

By my eighth grade, I was a kid who felt unsafe, unloved and pretty angry at life. In other words, I behaved badly in school. However, my teacher, Ms. Simon, of course, thought that I was blind to this problem because she always reminded me, “Henry, you are the worst behaved child in this school”
Needless to say, the eighth grade was probably the worst year of my life. Good thing was that I was allowed to go to the ninth grade. But Ms. Simon’s words were always ringing in my ears.
The first day I entered the ninth grade, my teacher, Miss Brown, began to call our names. And it wasn’t long before she came to my name. “Henry,” she called out, looking from her list to where I was sitting. She looked at me carefully for a moment, and then said, “I’ve heard a lot about you.” Then she smiled and added, “But I don’t believe a word of it!”
To be honest, that moment was a turning point, not only in my education, but also in my life. Suddenly, unexpectedly, someone believed in me. For the first time in my life, someone saw potential(潜力) in me. Miss Brown often gave me little jobs to do. She invited me to stay after school to work on my reading and math. She challenged me to let her down. So I studied really hard that even my own father couldn’t believe that I was changing.
What made me the difference between the eighth grade and ninth grade? It was that risky, because there was no promise that I would honor Ms. Brown’s trust.

A. She called the students’ names.
B. She gave the writer little jobs to do.
C. She asked the writer to stay at school after class. What did Miss Brown mean by saying “I don’t believe a word of it?”
A. She believed the writer could behave well.
B. She didn’t believe what the writer said at all.
C. She didn’t believe what Miss Simon had done to the writer.Who gave the writer great help with his study?
A. Ms Simon B. Miss Brown C. His fatherWhat does this article want to tell us?
A. We should always remind children of what is wrong.
B. We should teach children how to be excellent persons.
C. We should teach children in a positive way by giving them chances to be confident.
