Claire was set upP get her dream job working as a reporter at a popular news station. She went to visit her father before her interviewW1. Her mother, who had always been her biggest supporter, had died a few years earlier.
As she visited her father, she told him about how nervous she was about the interview. Her father said, “You will do great because you are a lot like your mother, and your mother did great at everything.”
Claire picturedW2 her mother, the most supportive person she had ever met, and had a realization. Was she really like her mother? She didn't think so. She was so focused on herself that she didn't even know about her family's struggles.
Suddenly, she felt ashamed. She left for the airport with a lot more to think about than her job. An hour before boarding, her sister called to wish her luck. She listened to her sister in a way she had never listened before. She asked her about her kids and her life. Her sister admitted that she wasn't doing very well. She was having a hard time.
Claire ended the conversation with her sister just before boarding started. She made a decision to be more like her mom and take care of what really matters in life. She spent the next few months living with her sister and helping her maintain her house and take care of the kids.
Claire found the courage to do what was right because of her mother. She realized that doing what was right brought on a type of happiness that looking out for herself could never bring. She never regretted her decision. Thanks to the decision, she and her sister grew closer than they had ever been. She learned a lot and felt much better when focusing on more than just herself. She easily got her dream job later that year.

How to Communicate with Our Parents
Hello, everyone. I'd like to share my ideas about the topic of how to communicate with our parents.
Parents are the people who love us most, so it's necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here are my ideas on how to make it easier to communicate with parents.
First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don't be rude to them even if they have done something wrong. They have experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Second, if we often talk with them about our life and experiences, we will know each other better. What's more, we can often tell our parents how much we love them. Lastly, if sometimes we don't agree with our parents' decisions we should try to put ourselves into their shoes and we will soon understand them.
Remember that what they really want is only the best for us. Thank you for listening.
课后课时作业(二)
Ⅰ阅读
A
One day when I was 5, my mother scolded (责骂) me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse,__for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have deliveredW1 a spanking (打屁股) for it. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwantedW2 insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen door, it would constantly remind me of my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I heard a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all.
My parents taught me a valuableW3 lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst outP so easily.

When I was a kid, my sister and I would fight all the time over nearly everything. But as we grew older, our bond strengthenedW1 by sharing secrets, offering advice and trading clothes. Having a sister by my side while growing up taught me many lessons about the unique bond.
And now, thanks to an 8year long study that's making the rounds on the Internet again, science is confirmingW2 what I know is true. In the study, researchers discovered that having an older or younger sister can help ease the anxiety for kids between the ages of 10 and 14 years. They also found that people with sisters can “learn how to make upP and to have control over their emotions again”, which are skills that undoubtedly serve children well.
The revival of this study actually comes on the heels of another newer study, which shows that it's not just the older kids and parents who influenceW3 and shape children as they grow. It turns out that younger siblings (兄弟姐妹) do too, and what's more, they may also give their older siblings a greater chance of developing empathy (同情).
The Canadian study followed 452 pairs of siblings, all between a-yearandahalf and 4 years old. The researchers found that having a younger sibling increased the older sibling's level of empathy.
This research confirms that sisters are pretty amazing in making the world a much lovely place. As the mom of two boys, I often wonder what kinds of lessons they will learn from their younger sister. Perhaps they will be the same lessons I learned from mine that cooler heads always win. This study gives me hope that all those endless arguments between my kids may actually be laying the groundwork for conflict settlement skills.

A pile of shoes on a front porch isn't anything out of the ordinary for most households, but for Heather Duckworth it held a special meaning during her sons' 18th summer.
The mom, who has an 11yearold daughter, 18yearold twin sons, and a 20yearold son, wrote a heartfelt post about seeing a pile of shoes outside her door and all that it representsW1, “These shoes mean that I have a house full of kids, mostly teenagers, in their summer holiday. These shoes mean there is probably no food left in my house. These shoes mean noise and mess but laughter and music as well.”
When Duckworth returned from work and saw the shoes recently, they brought on a wave of sadness because she realizedW2 that things were changing. Most of the kids who wear the shoes have just graduated from high school and she realizes that time is precious in her 18th summer with her sons. She continues that she knows seeing the shoes in the house means that the kids are safe, but soon all the shoes will be “spread across college campuses” and she knows “all of these shoes might not find their way back home next summer as life takes them on new adventuresW3.”
The time might be bittersweet, but Duckworth wants to focus onP creating happy memories rather than focusing on the sadness that could come. She is going to be thankful for the shoes and enjoy every moment with the kid.
The sentimental post generated a massive amount of interest with it being shared over 88,000 times in a week and receiving 14,000 comments. Duckworth was touched by the comments and how the story resonated (共鸣) with so many. She responds:
“What a gift you all have given me in knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. Motherhood is hard, but we are all in this together!”
