    I went through some difficult times, dealing with the pressures of growing up. I found it hard to communicate with my mother. Relations between us became difficult.

One day, I ran away from home and stayed away for many hours. When I returned home at night, I saw all the pain, anger and disappointment on my mother's face. ①      . We agreed to have breakfast together the next morning. It was a turning point in both of our lives and our relationship.

We decided to go to a restaurant. On our way to the table I noticed my mother had two notebooks. I asked her what they were for. She explained to me that sometimes it was easier to write down our feelings rather than talk about (A) them. We would write down our feelings in the form of a letter. It could be as long or as short as we wanted.

    Our first topic was “Why I'm so angry?” I wrote a half page, and my mom filled up nearly three pages. (B) I watched tears run down her face as she wrote. I never realized anyone could hide so much anger. After we finished writing, we exchanged our notebooks. As soon as I started reading my mother's words, I began to cry and so did she. When we finished reading, we discussed our feelings. ②      . Our talk helped me realize so many things I had never thought of before, not only about my mother but also about other people.

     My mother and I continue to use our notebooks as a way of communicating our anger and worries, and our happiness as well. We know that no matter how we feel about each other, our notebooks are a safe place to express our feelings. We have come to an agreement that at the end of each letter we write, “I love you.”

    Mr. Beynolds, my teacher, handed us a list of thoughts, and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts. I chose the topic “I wonder why things are the way they are.”

    I wrote down all the questions that puzzled(困扰) me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer, and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper, I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the questions.

    The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story:

    Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(毕业)? Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called “Grandma” on day? ...

    Dad, why can't I stay out until 12:00? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do I miss being at home? Why do you love me so much? ...

    Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you.

    At the end of my story, I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face. Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive, but on the questions we asks.

    A group of high school students from the United States has planted hope by cleaning up an empty lot(一块地) in their neighborhood.

    The students are from Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. The empty lot, which is owned by a 1ocal bank, was filled with grass and poison ivy(毒葛). As a project for the school's biohealth(生物健康) class, eight students decided to turn the empty lot into a space that will improve the mental(心里的) and emotional(情感的) health of people who live near it.

    They first came up with a design, did research and created 3D models of their plans. Ideas were then presented and the school leaders picked the winning plans. Finally, the students brought those plans to life.

    Now when you walk into the lot, you can see a wood walkway leading to a purple iron bench. A few beautiful plants are already in the ground. There is also a hopscotch(跳房子游戏) board that is painted bright blue. A wall painting with the words "Love" and "Peace" has taken shape on a back fence, decorated with the students' handprints. The rest of the fence was painted grey to cover plain wood.

    The students said they painted the bench purple because they found that purple has a comforting feeling for people. They thought kids could go there and sit together, communicate with each other in peace and stay out of trouble.

    As for the hopscotch board, it was set up for a group of eight to ten school-age kids who lived in the neighborhood but had nowhere to play.

    It gives the neighborhood a little hope and a little beauty, "said Lyle Jenkins, a member of the Neighborhood Network." A lot of people love the neighborhood and have great hopes for things getting better.
