One cold and dark midnight，a young little girl，called Nannan，woke up to pass water （撒尿 ）
She by （61 ） （her） got up and down her bed，walked to the bedroom door and opened it．She looked outside and walked （62）b quickly，for it was so dark in the hall that she feared．Her
mother said，"Don't be （63 ） /a'freid/，honey．Take courage!""What's courage？"she asked，（64） （run） to her mother's bed．"Courage is the brave breath．"her mother answered．
The girl held out her little hands，saying，"Mum，blow some of your breath of courage to me．"
After her mother blew out two （65） （mouthful） of breath into her cold hands，the little girl clenched her fists（握拳） （66） （nervous），worried that the"breath of courage"would run ．Then with her fists clenched，she walked out of the bedroom （68）
/təˈwɔ：dz/the bathroom without fear．
Her mother said to herself，"It will be nice （69）i someone can blow some kind of'breath'to me．Then I can hold it in my hands whenever I feel terrified or lost．
（70） fact，mostly，what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind．Who we
should defeat（战胜） is nobody but ourselves．

I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework．It is not enough to just get good grades at s 81．Children these da ys depend o 82 their parents too much．They are always asking，"Could you get this for me？"or"Could you help me with that？"Doing chores helps to d 83 children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves．It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness．Since they live in one house with their parents，they should know that everyone should try to k 84 the house clean and tidy．Our neighbors'son got into a good college but during his first year，he had no idea how to take care of himself．As a result，he often fell ill and his grades dropped．The earlier kids learn to be independent，the b 85 it is for their future．
