Seven loyal readers came to the Teens’ office two weeks ago. They had a wonderful day learning how to make a newspaper. But what   41   made them excited was that they had their say.

“What most impressed me was   42   I was saying something, I found all eyes were   43  me,” said Tang Shining, one of the students. Her friend, Li Chunbei agreed, and felt very glad that when she was talking, the editors nodded and even   44   notes.

Students were happy to see the editors listen to their   45  . You may often   46   about being neglected (忽略) by teachers and parents.   47   before complaining, please make sure that you have already spoken about your   48  .

Traditionally in China, teachers at school and parents were   49   the ones to tell teenagers what they should and shouldn’t do. The young are   50   to doing what they are told, rather than thinking by themselves. But then their ideas would be locked in their brain and not be   51  .

A girl wrote to Teens about her family story. She   52   to be very sad because her father seldom talked and played with her. After years of consideration, she   53   decided to write her father a letter, telling him about her sadness. To her   54  , the father   55  , saying that he didn’t realize his mistakes. From then on, he really   56  .

Sometimes, we need to let our   57   be heard, so others can understand our thoughts and feelings.

Don’t be afraid of being   58   for what you have done. You know it is your   59   to speak your mind. Even if your suggestions are denied (否定), at least you have tried your best. You will not be left with any   60  .

The story goes that two best friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had a（n）36 , and one friend slapped（打耳光）the other one in the _37 .

The one who got slapped was _38 , but without saying anything, wrote in the _39 : “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”

They keep on walking _40 they found an oasis（綠洲），_41 they decided to take a bath, The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire（泥沼）and started _42 , but the friend saved him.

After he _43 from the near drowning, he _44 on a stone: “Today my best friend _45 my life.”

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend 46 him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone.  47?”

The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us we should write 48 down in the sand where winds of 49 can erase it. But when someone does something 50 for us, we must carve it in stone where no wind can 51 erase it.”

What does the story 52 us? ― Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your 53  in stone.

Send this sentence to the people you’ll never 54 . It’s a 55 message to let them know that you’ll never forget them.

Dear God,

    Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers 36  it was too late to tell them.

    I am blessed with the dear mother who is still   37. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I  38  what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am   39   to speak these words in her presence(面前), but they  40   easily from my pen.

    How does a daughter begin to  41  her mother for life itself? For the love,  42 and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for  43 a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows  44  ? For waiting for the 45 when a daughter realizes her mother really is?

    How does a  46  woman thank for a mother for 47  to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or 48  silent when it is most appreciated? For not 49 : “I told you so”, when she could have uttered these 50 dozens of times? For being essentially herself―loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?

    I don’t know how, dear God,  51  to bless her as richly as she  52   and to help me  53 the example she has set. I 54 that I will look as good in the eyes of my  55   as my mother looks in mine.

A daughter

When I was a child, I promised to try to remember as much as I could about my childhood. Because from what I could __21__, it seemed that most __22__ had forgotten their childhoods. I wanted to __23__ other adults and myself when the time came. You should __24__ some useful things when you get away from your __25__.

       When I was three years old, my parents asked me to be __26__. I did not understand why my parents asked a three-year-old girl to depend on myself. I did not have a doll. We did not have much __27__ and a doll seemed so expensive. __28__, my father managed to __29__ me a full set of encyclopedia (百科全書), maps and beautiful pictures __30__ I could read. Well, guess what? I learned to read __31__ realizing them! When I started school, all came so __32__. I knew so many places on the map __33__ the teacher did. If my dad hadn’t asked me to read all those books, __34__ them on me and told me what I should look for, I would __35__ have become so interested in the things I learned. That time, we did not have a TV and had not much else to do. It was the simple __36__ that really opened a new __37__ for me.

       These days, most kids lead a happy life. They can get what they want from their __38__. But they should learn to be independent. Be independent to learn some __39__ knowledge; be independent to __40__ and discover the world safely; and be independent to do your own things.
