Do you often communicate with your parents?

    Some parents are always comparing their 1 with themselves when they were young, or with other people when they were children.

    “When I was your age,” a father said to 2sixteen-year-old son one day, “I was at the top of my class every year. And I 3 what I wanted to do when I left school. I had goals. You have no goals, 4your are always at the bottom of your class .”

    The man's son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father 5 times.

    “And when your mother was your age,” the young man's father, 6 , “She had a good job and she was earning money. You don't even have a part-time job. You earn nothing.”

    The man's son still said 7. He had heard this before, 8.

    “And 9 your elder brother was your age,” the young man's father went on, “he studied hard. But your just 10your time.”

    And the man's son still said nothing.

    Finally, the young man's 11 said, “And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he worked all day and studied at night.”

    This time the son 12 stay silent(沉默).

    “And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, father,” he said, “He was the president of13United States. 14 are you?”

    His father had no answer to this.

    Are your parents always comparing you 15 others? And what's your reply? Do you have a better way to communicate with each other?
