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.
Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine their children do with their lives. They forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way.

Yesterday, as I approached the front door of our public library, a white-haired gentleman stepped back to hold the door for me. You see, I have to go everywhere these days with a walker, and folks are __________ (constant) holding or opening doors for me, so this was not unusual.
However, I told the gentleman that the door had _______ automatic opener, and he did not need to stay to hold it open. He said “Here I thought I would have an opportunity to be
_________ (help).”
At that, I backed up, let the door close, and allowed him to reopen the door, not _________ (use) the automatic control this time. His comment then was “Well, now I feel like that I

That night, I fell asleep with a new (appreciate) for my gentle mother and ___
