I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn't spend much time with me．Then one Friday morning I took part in a three﹣day self﹣help program for teenagers．Whether you believe it or not，that weekend changed my life．
About 100 other teenagers were there．During the first two days I met a lot of great people．I was glad because I made so many friends there．
On Sunday，the leader did an interesting exercise called"Chocolate or Toys"．He asked a girl which she liked better，chocolate or toys．She chose chocolate．Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate．Of course，she didn't have a choice．
This exercise told us that sometimes we don't have a choice in life，and that sometimes we have to accept something，rather than complaining（抱怨）．A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict and how much she hated her mother．"I want a new mom，"she cried．"Unfortunately，you can't have one，"the leader replied．"You have to accept the mother that you have．"This hit me hard．I realized that，for better or worse，my mom was my mom．I couldn't choose another mom，but I could try to make the best of the situation．

After 11 years of struggling（拼搏),the Chinese women’s national volleyball team made it to the top. On Sept 6, the team beat Japan 3-1 to win the championship for the women’s volleyball World Cup. This was the team’s biggest success since its gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
The players kissed the trophy with excitement and some even cried. This was not an easy victory. Less than two hours before the game , the team lost three key players due to serious injuries(伤病)，including captain Hui Ruoqi .
The coach , “Iron Hammer” Lang Ping, encouraged the young players to bond(团结)together and fight till the end. Lang spent less than four hours sleeping every night during the World Cup in order to analyze the team’s problems.
The team didn’t disappoint(使......失望)Lang. Players with slight injuries all insisted(坚持) on staying on the court. Zhu Ting,21, said, “My legs were in a lot of pain, but I stand it.”
