Mary’s parents are different from the average. While she was growing up they required her to1. First of all she had to work around their home. Later on Mary worked for other people.
When Mary was 14 years old, her mother and father told her that they were no 2going to buy her clothes. Sure, they would continue to buy shoes for her and also the special clothes like suits, but 3else was her responsibility. Some people thought that they were4, but they wanted to teach Mary some5 lessons. One thing she learned was that nothing is cheap or6. She learned how to deal with her money carefully. Another thing she learned was 7to keep from wearing out(穿破)her clothes too fast.
Also, even8 Mary went to school she was9 to work. All through her high school and10 years she worked as well as studied. Mary’s parents had plenty of11 but they felt she would12 her education more if she had to13 it. And strange as it may seem, they had heard that students who worked part- time generally got14 grades than students who did no work.
Now Mary is a mother herself. She requires her children to do the same15 she did, especially working part- time as they go to school.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I ’m left1. Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other2？
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,3children from different races and religions played and studied4in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone s5from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and Iwas an Indian Hindu——we just 6our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice，well7or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd8the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to9the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 10.
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail s family later returned to their village, and I11touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I12my destination. The driver acknowledged my13but did not move off. Instead, he looked14at me.“Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname(綽號). I was astonished at being so15addressed (稱呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two 16we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 17to describe.
If we can allow our children to be 18without prejudice, they'11 build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be19their side through' thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and20we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, 44we happy few, we band of brothers".

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And1assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always2to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 3after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy4because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the5to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. Without the teacher who kept insisting on my “6for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the7of it! When I first started8the practice sessions (練習(xí)賽), I didn’t9know the rules of the game, not to mention what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get10and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.11, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to12on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t13“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the14and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive15in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process (過程)— friends who respected my16to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my17self-confidence comes more praise (贊揚) from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “18”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 19raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent20I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after 1 thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head 2 his walking stick.McKay’s wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a 3 person, he had been 4 to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a 5 collector.Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay’s, or too often, on the McKays 6.
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our 7,” said Laurene.She added that it wasn’t so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant 8 bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks.“We’d be 9 there happily reading our newspapers, when 10 so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we’d 11 with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the 12 of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too 13.“It was James’s birthday,” explained Laurene, “and I’d made him a birthday cake.The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn’t get to blow them out.” 14, Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet 15.Rarely had Laurene seen McKay move so fast.“I couldn’t 16 him.He was up there in a flash.It was the fastest I’d seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police.He has also promised to change his17 from now on.And what of James McKay? 18 he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”.“19 the most exciting birthday 20!” said the cheerful old man.“The best since my adolescence I’d say!”
