Once a man had a hen and the hen laid two golden eggs every day. The man was very happy. Every day he took the two golden eggs and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} them in the market. With the money he and his family lived {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    One day one of his friends said to him, “Friend, every day you take these two eggs to market and sell {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there. It is not easy money, isn't it? Why not take out all eggs from her {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at once?”

    He liked the idea, but couldn't make a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to kill that hen. A few days {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he decided to implement (实施) that idea because he found the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in his friend's advice, and he was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}tired of (厌烦的) taking those eggs to the market daily.

    The next day he killed the hen and then opened the hen's stomach. But as he opened her stomach, he couldn't find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in it. He looked for them here and there, left and right, up and down, but there was nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Only mother's love is true love. It gives everybody everything in all his/her life.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as much as {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. When you are ill(生病), she stops her work to look after you day and night and forgets about {#blank#}3{#/blank#}When you are{#blank#}4{#/blank#} up day by day, she feels very happy. When you are old{#blank#}5{#/blank#}to go to school, mother still looks after you all the time. On old winter days, she always tells you to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}on more clothes. She always stands in the wind waiting for you back from school. When you leave home for school{#blank#}7{#/blank#} breakfast, she feels worried about you at home. She usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things .When you do{#blank#}8{#/blank#} at school, you will{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the smile on her face.

    Mother is always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to give everything she has to her children, not to receive. What true love that is in the world! We will remember mother's love forever.

Deal with conflict(冲突)

    Losing friends is as easy as making friends if you don't know how to deal with anger and conflict. Conflict is part of everyone's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . It will show up at school, at work and at home. It's OK to feel angry, annoyed(恼怒的) or sad. These feelings are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, but different people deal with{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in different ways. Some people shout, call people names, or even hit the person who has {#blank#}4{#/blank#}them. Others do their best to keep away from dissension(纠纷) but very few deal with conflict {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    Dealing with conflict is a step-by-step progress. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} .you start talking about the problem, calm down, count to 10 and imagine a relaxing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . Then, say what is really bothering(使...烦恼) you, but watch how you express yourself. Don't complain. Share {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.you feel by using 'I'. For example, don't say "You are always ordering me to do this or to do that," but "I feel sad {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  you don't pay attention to what I think." You want people to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}your opinion so make sure you practice what you want to say. Listen carefully to the other person and accept that he or she might see the problem in a different way.

    Be open minded and willing to say sorry.

Dear Molly,

    I just got your letter with the picture of you riding your bike.

    From the smile on your face, I can tell how much {#blank#}1{#/blank#}you're having. I still remember when you could {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ride a tricycle(儿童三轮自行车).You're{#blank#}3{#/blank#} a long way!

    Now here's some {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I'm sure you're a good rider. But you will {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that bike now and then. So please get {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a helmet. Wear it every time you ride. A helmet will help protect you {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a head injury.

    Wearing a helmet when you ride a bike is as {#blank#}8{#/blank#}as wearing your seat belt when you ride in a car!

    No, I'm {#blank#}9{#/blank#}trying to be a bossy know- it-all. I just don't want a bad fall to wipe that smile off your face.

    When you come{#blank#}10{#/blank#} this summer, bring your bike and your helmet.

    We'll take some great rides together!

Your cousin,

Vera
