| When a terrible earthquake hit, many people were killed and many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble. One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. "We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We"ll share what we have with them.” I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear," I said. "You don"t have to give Lucy. You love her so much." Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she"ll make another little girl happy, too." I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It"s easy to give something that we don"t want any more, but harder to give what we cherish (珍爱), isn"t it? | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Each of us would like to be trusted by parents, because we all want to get freedom. Parents are more likely to give us our freedom if they trust us. If you want your parents to trust you more, you have to show them through your actions. Let your parents know what"s going on at school and with your friends. If you truly can be trusted, then you have nothing to hide, right? Keep your bedroom door open when you are back. Do not be crazy when they see what you are looking at on the Internet. Invite your friends to your house to meet your parents. When you do something wrong, it can break trust. Broken trust takes a long time to rebuild. It"s not easy dealing with your parents when you"ve broken their trust. But, it can be done. It"s not talking about groveling (低声下气) and sweet-talking them into trust. I"m talking about getting them to respect you again. I find it easy to make the mistake of no telling my parents things I"ve done wrong, hoping they won"t find out. There are lots of reasons: I don"t want to get into trouble; I don"t want them to be disappointed or get mad at me; I don"t want to lose their trust; I don"t think they will ever find out. And the list goes on and on. But they find out somehow, and then you"re in hot water. Of course, even if Mom and Dad never find out, you still know about. Most parents will respect you more for coming to them and telling them yourself. Doing so shows honesty, responsibility and maturity (成熟). If you can"t tell them face to face, you can try writing a note. Trust can"t be built in a day or even a week, but you can gradually do things to help your parents build trust in you. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don"t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don"t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can"t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it beep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we"re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we"re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. ·Accept it Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger ·Stop making excuses for it You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you"re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person.
