At a family reunion one year, I noticed that my 13-year-old granddaughter Lauren was not including her cousin Emily in her small circle of three friends.
I pulled Lauren aside, and thought of giving her a lecture(训斥) on kindness. Just then I remembered a 1 experience when I was about the same age as Lauren. I was left out in group activities, and I felt terrible. Seeing that, a thoughtful teacher asked me to hand out papers one day. Although the teacher's kind act didn't make me a 2 of the group immediately, it increased my self-confidence and created chances for communication with my classmates.
So, instead of giving Lauren a lecture, I changed my way. “Would you and the other girls be willing to make cupcakes for everyone ” I asked.
“Yes!” Lauren's face brightened, but then 3 . “Hmm...does Emily have to help ” she asked.
This wasn't a question I was hoping for. I told her firmly(坚定地) that Emily needed to be 4 . Then I told the other three girls about the plan. They were very happy with the idea, but Lauren wasn't.
I gave each of them tasks for making the cupcakes. Soon, all the four girls 5 themselves in measuring(测量), mixing, and high-fiving one another. I could tell they had a great time there. When the cupcakes were ready, the kitchen was a mess, so I gave each girl their own clean-up duties. More high-fiving. More fun.
Soon after, I heard 6 in the living room that evening. I noticed Lauren sitting on the floor behind Emily, brushing her hair while Emily was laughing at something Lauren had said. Obviously, my plan of involving them in an activity did the trick.
After the family reunion, I told Lauren how 7 of her it was to include Emily in their activities.
Now the four girls are young adults. They don't see each other often, but each time they meet up, they never fail to laugh about the messy kitchen they made that time. This best proves that having teens involved is much more 8 than just lecturing when teaching them how they should behave.

At a family reunion one year, I noticed that my 13-year-old granddaughter Lauren was not including her cousin Emily in her small circle of three friends.
I pulled Lauren aside, and thought of giving her a lecture(训斥) on kindness. Just then I remembered a 1 experience when I was about the same age as Lauren. I was left out in group activities, and I felt terrible. Seeing that, a thoughtful teacher asked me to hand out papers one day. Although the teacher's kind act didn't make me a 2 of the group immediately, it increased my self-confidence and created chances for communication with my classmates.
So, instead of giving Lauren a lecture, I changed my way. “Would you and the other girls be willing to make cupcakes for everyone ” I asked.
“Yes!” Lauren's face brightened, but then 3 . “Hmm...does Emily have to help ” she asked.
This wasn't a question I was hoping for. I told her firmly(坚定地) that Emily needed to be 4 . Then I told the other three girls about the plan. They were very happy with the idea, but Lauren wasn't.
I gave each of them tasks for making the cupcakes. Soon, all the four girls 5 themselves in measuring(测量), mixing, and high-fiving one another. I could tell they had a great time there. When the cupcakes were ready, the kitchen was a mess, so I gave each girl their own clean-up duties. More high-fiving. More fun.
Soon after, I heard 6 in the living room that evening. I noticed Lauren sitting on the floor behind Emily, brushing her hair while Emily was laughing at something Lauren had said. Obviously, my plan of involving them in an activity did the trick.
After the family reunion, I told Lauren how 7 of her it was to include Emily in their activities.
Now the four girls are young adults. They don't see each other often, but each time they meet up, they never fail to laugh about the messy kitchen they made that time. This best proves that having teens involved is much more 8 than just lecturing when teaching them how they should behave.

Madison Checketts loves beaches. 1 she often sees the sand covered with plastic bottles. “This needed to change,” she told Smithsonian magazine.
The 2 girl from the US created a new kind of water bottle. People can 3 eat it! The idea comes from the “popping boba(爆爆珠)” in bubble tea drinks. A thin piece of jelly(胶状物) keeps the juice 4 .
Checketts learned 5 to make this online. She put some chemicals(化学物) together. Then she froze 6 to make the jelly. After some tries, she made her own “bubble” with water inside!
People can bite a hole at the top of the bubble, drink the water and then either eat the “bottle” 7 throw it away. It can break down without polluting the environment. Checketts said the bottle felt like candies and 8 a bit sweet.
In the future, Checketts will run more tests to make the water bottle 9 and bigger. She wants her water bottle to be used during sports—as the players like runners 10 for water, they can get a bubble, drink the water and either eat or throw it away. “I hope people can understand that everyone can make the world a better place,” she said.

One summer day when I was in high school, my father sent me to buy some tools for our farm. I loved nothing better than driving our family truck to do 1 . But this time I was not so happy 2 my father had told me I would have to ask for credit(赊账) at the shop.
3 is a proud age. The young men at that age want respect but not charity. I had seen many times that my friends were 4 when they asked for credit. We lived in a poor village, where 5 was needed seriously. I knew clearly how difficult it might be to make the shop owner believe me and get the credit.
At the David's Brothers shop, Buck David was talking to a farmer. After I finished 6 the things I wanted, I walked to him. “I need to put these on credit,” I said to him 7 .
The farmer gave me a 8 look. But Buck's face didn't change at all. “No problem,” he said in a relaxing voice. “I believe your father will 9 them in time.” Then he turned to the farmer, “This boy is James William's son.”
The farmer nodded to me in a friendly way. At that time, I was 10 pride. James William's son, these three 11 opened a door to an adult's respect and trust.

My little son John was born with club feet(畸形足). The doctors said that with treatment he would be able to walk, but could never run well. The first three years of his life was 1 in hospital. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem until you saw him walk.
Children in our neighbourhood always ran around 2 their play, and John would jump and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be 3 to run like the other children, so he didn't know.
In the 4 grade he decided to join the school running team. Every day he trained. He ran more than any of the others, 5 only the top seven runners would be chosen to run for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He ran four to five miles every day, 6 when he had a fever. I was worried, so I went to 7 him after school. I found him running 8 . I asked him how he felt. “OK,” he said. He has two more miles to go. He looked straight ahead and kept 9 .
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were made. John was number six on the list. John had 10 the team. He was in the seventh grade—the other six team members were all eighth graders. We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. He just did it.
