Many students may feel (stress) because of their parents. Most parents have good intentions,
some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in
(adjust)to college, and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children’s
(difficulty).
For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the (compete) is stronger, that the required standards of work are
(high), and that their children may not be prepared for
change. They may be upset by their children’s poor grades. At their kindest, they may
(gentle) ask why John or Mary isn’t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten
(take) their children out of college or cut off living expenses.

(sit) around and feel sorry for themselves.
breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make
magnificent life.
Opportunity is in the same way; it is everywhere. It is so freely available that we take it granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success; it must
(seize) and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so
(anxiety) to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s
(possible).
Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. , it takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity. You must make use of it. That’s not up to the opportunity; that’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on, but
matters is what you do with it.

(1eave)；others
(simple)walk away after washing hands，leaving the water
(run)；students leave the classroom every day
noticing whether fans are switched off．Has thrift(节俭)，one of the national tradition
developed from our long history gone?
so，find it back!
We don't have to take great pains to control waste，but action and a grateful heart are needed；thank the water that runs through our fingers，and save it for poor Arabian or African countries struggling in water(short)；thank the light we enjoy because in poor areas，children share
dim lamp reading；thank all the paper we are able to use，for trees are cut down
(satisfy)our needs；thank everything nature can offer and everything we can own.
Live and act，so the tradition of thrift will never fade．

(fortune), I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me
(argue) as to who should have the honour of receiving me
a guest in their house. Finally, I accepted the offer of
80-year-old peasant woman who lived alone in a little house. While she was getting me settled into a tiny but clean room, the head of the village was tying up his horse
my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometers away
there was a garage.
I had noticed three hens (run) free in my hostess courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. Other villagers brought me goats cheese and honey. We drank together and talked
(merry) till far into the night.
When the time came for me to say good
bye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman for the trouble I (cause) her. But she refused.
