　　It was Williams' mother who got her interested in books. Her mother read to her three 1 every day until they went to college.
　　When Williams became a 2 , she wanted her students to love reading as she did. But she realized that some kids had no books to read.
　　“The kids who are read to can learn a lot.” she said. To Williams, the best way was to give kids books. In 2017, she gave away 900 used children's 3 over three days. Most people would be 4 with that.
　　“Anybody could do that,” she said. “I wanted to do something that was going to follow my work ethic (职业道德).” So she set a new 5 for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like a(n) 6 number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: “Don't complain if you aren't willing to work hard out on the field.”
　　So she got to work, first by advising friends to 7 books or money to buy books. And more and more people started 8 books on her front porch (门廊). As the books came in, Williams gave them to local schools for free .
　　Now, Williams has 9 more than 78,000 books – only 922,000 more to finish her task! And she's not slowing down. It's too 10 for kids with few books.

　　I've noticed that conversations with my children have started to turn into something that I don't like. It could be my mistake. I don't always 1 before I open my mouth.
　　For example, my kids would call me to tell me about something that's been bothering them. Then, as soon as they are finished, I go into mom mode (模式). I can't 2 it. It's my default setting (默认设置).
　　“You should...”, “Have you thought of...”, “If I were you, I'd...”
　　“Mom!”
　　The meaning is clear—“Stop!”
　　I am the queen of unwanted advice. When I get one of my adult kids on the phone, I become “teacher” on everything and anything, which I'm obvious not.
　　I want to be part of their lives. More importantly, I want to 3 them making mistakes that seem so obvious to me.
　　But they just want a listening ear and an open heart.
　　I'm 4 alone in this. Over lunch the other day, a friend told me that her son almost never listened to anything she said. “It's like talking to a 5 ,” she added.
　　I know that feeling all too well. But I'm 6 —very slowly—that talking at is not the same as talking with.
　　Giving advice to children can be full of problems. Though we may see ourselves sharing the 7 of our years, they see something else. They see a controlling parent who hasn't 8 the fact that they are adults with their own thoughts and feelings.
　　They are not looking for any tips. What they are hoping for is a 9 place to talk with a person who loves and supports them no matter what.
　　Because of this, I've given myself the goal of becoming a better parent by being a better 10 . It's not an easy task for parents like me who think they're just being helpful. But I'm determined, I'm strong.

　　I have spent much time and effort improving myself. In high school and college, many times I stayed up all night working on my study. The important learning allowed me to travel to different places and to get great jobs. Like some other people, I focused only on 1 for a long period.
　　When I first started working after college, an older friend told me, “When you meet friends from college later in life, 2 cares what kind of career (事业) you have had. They will mainly talk about who looks fitter and healthier.”
　　I found it was true. And over time, I came to realize that my friend's words had a (an) 3 meaning. The things with the most 4 in our lives often don't have much to do with our academic (学业的) or career success. What has made me feel happy with my life is always physical activity, such as 5 , lifting weights and hiking. They seem simple enough, but you do have to learn how to do them safely, 6 when you want to take them seriously. Cooking with friends, making handicrafts (手工艺品) and growing plants can also improve how you feel about your life.
　　These kinds of skills 7 much on your way to be independent. If you live all alone someday, you must know how to cook for yourself, darn (织补) your clothes and tidy up your house. And you must not forget to get enough 8 to keep fit. Now your parents may 9 you and help you with these things, but you can't 10 them forever for a healthy and happy life.
　　So here's my advice: continue the hard but necessary work for you to achieve academic success. But always make time to add to your toolbox of life by taking part in sports, cooking, craft and many other non- academic activities.
