Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things．I teach my daughters to d（76）　　a habit of helping others．

We live in a rural（乡村） area．Most of what we see is beautiful nature．One of the exceptions （例外） to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows．And there are no necessary public s（77）　　．Such as rubbish collection．

A helping behavior（行为） that I often p（78）　　with my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood．My daughters often have a m（79）　　to see who can collect the most rubbish．They will often say to me in an excited voice，"There's some rubbish，﹣Daddy，stop the car!"Without t（80）　　more，we will often get out of the our car and pick it up．Though it may seem s（81）　　，we do it．In fact，we enjoy it．We pick it up rubbish in parks，on sidewalks，almost a（82）　　．

One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road．I stopped．He r（83）　　his head and said to me with a smile，"I saw you doing this with your family．It's a good idea to protect our natural world．"

There are many other ways to p（84）　　kindness for others．You may share a dinner with a beggar（乞丐），visit lonely old people in the nursing home，or help the blind cross the street．You can think of something that can be finished e（85）　　but helpful．It is fun，self﹣satisfying，and what's more，it can set a good example．Helping others is helping yourself．

Having a pen pal is fun and can be a great way to improve your writing skills．But most people have trouble knowing what to write to their pen pals．（1）　　

（2）　　Break the ice by telling your pen pal a little about yourself．Start with your name，age and job．Write about what you like to do or what's on your mind that day．What you pass on will encourage your pen pal to tell you something about his．（3）　　

Ask questions（4）　　This will help you get to know him and probably get you a faster answer．Make your questions into the e﹣mail by telling him something you like to do and then asking if he's ever tried it．

Ask for advice．You may have some difficulties in your life and want to ask for advice．Your pen pal may tell you what to do．（5）　　Also，discussing real﹣world questions will promote（增进） your friendship．

B．What do you think of having a pen pal？

C．And this will be helpful to start your friendship．

D．Luckily，here are some ways to get to know a pen pal．

E．Write questions for your pen pal to answer in his next e﹣mail．

F．You don't have to take all his advice，but it will give your something about his opinions．

I finished middle school in the 1970s．I still remember the teen years were the（1）　　time of my life．At that time，as a girl，I hated it when my parents asked me（2）　　about my problems that made me uncomfortable．I also remember many times when Mr．Templat，my teacher，would take me aside and talk to me．He had a special way of finding out what the problem was．Every time he（3）　　with me，I felt better．He was a teacher I will never（4）　　．

He had a way of making his classes enjoyable．We always got the highest（5）　　in math in our grade with his teaching．If there was a big world ball game on the radio，we would（6）　　everything and he would put the game on so we could all enjoy it．

Teens often learn things on TV or film adults about world（7）　　that can make them scared．Now it is terrorism（恐怖主义）．Back in my teen years it was the Cold War．It worried me so much that I（8）　　each day would be my last．Mr．Templat knew how much it troubled his（9）　　．He opened the subject up to discussion．He gave us a way to express our fears and helped us understand war and politics（政治）．

Wonder shy you get angry so easily （66）w　　 your friend smiles all the time？It's probably because you two have different personalities．

Personality （性格） is about （67）h　　people think，behave，and react（反应） in different （68）s　　．So what （69）m　　people think，behave and react in certain ways？

Part of the reason is that people are （70）b　　like this．A baby gets its blood type，genes，and （71）o　　 physical things when it's still inside its mother．These things may help decide what the baby will be like．

But one's personality doesn't stop here．Family life，school learning and life （72）e　　 can also make you the person you are．This doesn't （73）m　　 it's impossible to change your personality．You can always try to make yourself （74）b　　．Don't get too worried about your shortcoming （缺点）．Just accept them．This is a good way to start making changes．

For example，if you don't know how to make friends，find （75）o　　the reason．Is it because you're too shy？Tell yourself to smile at people．Start talking to people using （76）w　　greetings．

However，it's not easy to change lifelong habits in one night．Don't give yourself a hard time．Keep （77）w　　at it．One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you．
