This is an important 6 for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget. Many 7 often complain about the school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too 8 . We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. As young people, it is our duty to try our best to deal with the challenges with the help of our teachers. By comparing 9 with other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist. He can’t walk or even speak, but he regards his many physical problems as unimportant. Now he is known as a great scientist in the world. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let’s not worry about our problems. Instead, let’s face the challenges 10 .

I was in a group with Lily, Tom, and Jack—the classmates I 1 talked to before. I worried we might not get along well. During the first break, we met in the classroom. Lily suggested a topic about “teenagers’ hobbies” and smiled, “Let’s interview our classmates!” Tom 2 took out his notebook to list ideas, and Jack offered to take photos. Though quiet, I was asked for my opinion. “What about making a video of students playing 3 ?” I said nervously. They all nodded, and I felt relieved (如释重负). We worked together daily after that. I interviewed five classmates about sports, while Lily and Tom 4 their answers. Jack took photos of kids playing basketball and dancing. One day, we 5 on the video’s opening—Tom preferred music while Jack preferred a story. “Why not combine (结合) them?” I tried. To 6 surprise, it worked perfectly. On the 7 day, we stood in front of the class. Lily introduced the topic, Tom showed photos, Jack played the video, and I shared the interviews. The class cheered, and our teacher praised our 8 .

Since I entered junior high school, my parents and I have had different 1 . Neither they nor I am willing to yield (让步). My mother always ends by telling me, “A child knows nothing about this!” And I often end up saying in 2 , “Are you still living in the 20th century?” As we grow from children into young adults, we form our own values and beliefs slowly. We live in a century that is quite different 3 theirs. It is only 4 for us to have developed different values. But our parents still always 5 us as little kids. It seems that they aren’t willing to accept the 6 that we are growing up. So they have trouble dealing with the reality of it. During adolescence (青春期), we feel a strong need to express 7 , but our parents are often unwilling to listen to us. 8 , they think they are always correct. Why is it exactly that they are unable to open their minds and communicate more with their children so that their children can feel loved and 9 ?

So firefighters practise together so that they’ll be 3 for the next fire. They also learn new ways to 4 fires and other new things to help them do their jobs. Then, they practise those new 5 . Firefighters help people who are hurt in a fire. They get 6 in first aid (急救). When people get hurt, firefighters often get to the scene first and give first aid. Firefighters do their jobs best if they’re healthy. They also do their jobs best when their trucks and tools are clean and ready to use. So firefighters 7 every day to take good care of their bodies.
