On a bitterly cold January day, I saw Bobby in my fourth-grade classroom for the first time. He was wearing worn-out shirt and jeans, obviously too small. One of his shoes was missing a lace, flopping (移动) up and down when he walked. He looked so disgusting that nobody would treat him as a normal child.

Bobby’s behavior was strange, too. His normal tone of voice was a yell. He never made eye contact with anyone, and made his comments continuously during class.

Besides, Bobby’s academic skills were non-existent. He couldn’t read or write, not even the letters of the alphabet.

I thought Bobby should belong in a classroom that taught basic social skills. I checked his records and was shocked to learn that his IQ was normal. The school counselor (辅导顾问) told me that Bobby was a lot closer to normal than his mother was. He had been placed in Children’s Welfare Home for the first three years of his life before he was returned to his mother. They had moved to a different town at least once a year. Bobby’s intelligence was normal, so he would remain in my classroom.

I hated it but had to accept his being in my class. I had never taught someone like Bobby before. It was a struggle to even plan lessons for him. I took pride in being a good teacher, and I was disgusted with myself for not liking him and not wanting him in my class. One day, Bobby came into the classroom with his shirt torn and his nose bloodied. He had been jumped on by a group of my students. Bobby sat down and opened his book, pretending nothing had happened. Blood and tears dropped onto the pages. I sent Bobby to the nurse and scolded (训斥，责骂) those students angrily. I yelled that they ought to be ashamed of themselves for not liking him just because he acted strangely. His being different was even more reason to treat him kindly.

It was amazing to see the change in Bobby that resulted from the new clothes and extra attention.

3 . Dear Your Teen,

I’m struggling with my 15-year-old son over his music lessons. He has enrolled in piano lessons and is required to take an exam to complete the course, for which I have already paid. Since he started high school, he has put in a lot of effort at school, but he doesn’t want to dedicate much time to his music lessons because his schedule is filled with his school homework. I want to respect his decision, but I also think he should be responsible for finishing what he started. Should I compromise (妥协) when he tells me he wants to give up? I’d really appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Thanks!

Linda

Expert Tori Cordiano

It’s good for your son to work so hard at the start of high school! The transition (过渡) from middle school to high school typically brings teens more homework in harder classes and increases expectations about managing their workload more independently. It requires teens to take a hard look at their schedules and out-class activities to decide what feels reasonable to stick to while also doing their best at school. It is a more important part of adolescence (青春期) to help your son realize what he needs for his own well-being than concern which activities he sticks with and which he drops.

If you decide that your son does need to finish the course, a good communication about how to ease his amount of work in other places may be in order. For example, if your son spends a long time on schoolwork and spends his free time on the piano, you may decide to give him a break from other tasks temporarily (临时地), while he sees his lessons through to the exam.

You raise a concern many parents have about compromising when your son tells you he wants to quit. However, that doesn’t sound like what is happening here. Unless he often stops and starts many activities and fails to keep at them, you might instead look at this situation as your son advocating for the time and space he needs to take good care of himself and meet his own high academic expectations. That’s exactly the kind of exploration and self-knowledge we want adolescents to develop.

When Chinese people think about romantic poets, Li Bai’s name probably springs to their mind. With his extraordinary imagination, free expression of strong feelings     1     mastery of language, Li Bai is widely recognized as the greatest romantic poet after Qu Yuan.

Li Bai’s romantic style was deeply rooted in his love of reading and travelling from a young age   Reading books of all kinds, he familiarized     2     (he) with classic al Chinese culture, and acquired the     3     (wise) of previous generations. Besides, a burning desire for adventure and travel     4     (drive) him to visit famous mountains and great rivers almost around the whole country, enabling him to encounter different customs and practices.

The social and historical context     5     Li Bai lived also contributed to his romantic style. It was the most glorious period of the Tang Dynasty,     6     time of economic boom and social stability,     7     (create) an open and tolerant atmosphere. This allowed Li Bai the liberty to develop a free and unconstrained personality, which, in turn, had a huge impact on his poetic     8     (produce).

Generations of poets, both in China and abroad, owe a debt     9     his inspirational poems. Today, Li Bai’s poetry continues     10     (enjoy) by countless readers around the world.

9 . I have seen too many people waste their potential and live unhappily because they can’t overcome some destructive limiting beliefs.     1    

“I need to know everything before I start.”

We often overthink things. We get stuck in a thinking pattern, and we can’t decide. We keep going back and forth. But no one starts with all the answers. Even Warren Buffet started without knowing everything about investing.     2     We learn along the way. But if we never start, we can’t do that.

“What if it doesn’t work out?”

A lot of us are already thinking way too far ahead. “What if it doesn’t work out and I end up wasting a few years? I am better off staying where I am. ” That’s the kind of thinking that makes people miserable and regret their decisions later.     3     It’s also possible that whatever we’re doing right now wouldn’t work out. But we all have to adapt, for there is no “safe” job or business. So if we are going to pursue something, it’s more practical to do what brings us joy.

“I don’t know what I want!”

This is a limiting belief that most people never become aware of     4     And yet, they do nothing because “I don’t know what I want!” Actually, if we don’t know what we want, we can start by improving the areas that keep us from living well. When stopping saying “I will do it later,” we get a major boost in life.

“    5     ”

Do you know what’s really too late? It’s when we don’t start going after the things we want. There is no point in waiting for the “perfect timing.” Life is not a race but a marathon, so only when we keep going consistently, can we really make it.

A．It’s too late to start.

B．It’s never too late to start!

C．It’s the same for everyone.

D．Yes, things might not work out.

E．Get over these, and they will never live aimlessly again.

F．They choose to live a seemingly steady life, without any personal growth.

G．They know that their career, health, or relationship is making them unhappy.

My first year of senior high school felt awkward. The school was twice as big as my old school, and to make matters worse, my closest friends went to a different high school. I felt very lonely.

One cold and windy Sunday afternoon, I was sitting at home at our dining room table doing homework, with a fire going in our fireplace. As usual, my cat was lying on top of my papers, purring(发出呼噜声)loudly. She was never far from me. I had rescued her when she was a kitten and put my name on her collar in case she got lost again.

Suddenly, I smelled something strange, and then I noticed that smoke was pouring in. It filled the room so quickly that we all ran out into the front yard. By the time we made our way outside, the whole roof was in flames and the fire was spreading quickly.

When the fire was finally out, our house was almost completely burned down. I was in a bad mood and then it struck me...I hadn’t seen my cat. Where was my cat? Much to my horror, I realized that my cat was gone and my heart ached for her. Then all at once it hit me-the new school, the fire, my cat—I broke down in tears and cried and cried.

The next day, I went to school. But I was totally embarrassed by everything. My clothes and shoes were borrowed from my aunt. I had no books or homework, and my backpack was gone. I had my life in that backpack! I didn’t want to grow up if it was going to be this way. I just wanted to curl up and quit school.

It always seems that bad news spreads quickly. Everyone in high school, including the teachers, was aware of my sad situation. What a way to start off at a new school! This was not the kind of attention I was looking for.

The next day at school, people were acting even stranger than usual. They kept asking me to hurry up to the gym. I thought it was strange, but when I went into the gym, I knew why.
