【推荐1】Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody's got to stop that boy!" she was shouting. "Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny. "
Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned (担心) a lot."I didn't know that Danny was being picked on," she answered."He's never said anything about this to me!"Mrs. Green looked at Danny."How long has this been going on?" she asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.
Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to do things with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.

【推荐2】When I was about 12, I had an enemy(敌人),a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well , you now have that girl’s opinions. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(标记) the points that are true. Pay no attention(注意力) to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being very thin), but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a very clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know the truth about yourself better than anyone else. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your responsibility. Don’t close your ears. Listen to what they think you should do or shouldn’t do. But hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

Daddy’s advice returns to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

【推荐3】I walked quickly out of my church. It was late. My dad was waiting. I stared at the parking lot. Then I saw my dad's little red Honda. "Get in! Get in! Why are you so late all the time?"

The ride home was not much more than five minutes but each minute moved slowly. We were stuck behind an old man. He wasn't going more than 15 kilometers an hour. My dad started to shout, "Learn how to drive, Grandpa!" He hit the steering wheel(方向盘) with his hands. He was really angry.

"Dad, stop it. Why do you always…?" He cut me off, "I'd not get stuck at the light because of this fellow!" The older man got to the light just as it was changing. "You're free! Drive away quickly," I thought. I looked over my dad. "Can you believe that, Stephen? I get stuck at every light. There are so many stupid drivers out there," he said angrily.

Who gives him the right to shout at someone? Anger built inside me. "What if I shouted at my friends when they asked me for help?" I said. I looked out of the window, trying to catch my breath.

"You know, Stephen, I think you are going to be a psychologist(心理学家)," he said. I remember the last time I tried to say something, he had fumed, "Don't tell me how to drive! If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it! Think about what you say before you talk."

Usually, he'd be angry that I would doubt his authority (权威), but this time, he accepted what I had said. A sense of pride rose up in me. It had been a short drive, but it had been the best car ride of my life.
