I was flying to New York at night. Suddenly, a storm broke and the plane began to be tossed(颠簸)around.

 When I looked1  the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were worried and afraid. The future seemed terrible and many were   2   if they would make it through the storm.

 Then , I  3 saw a little girl. It seemed that the storm meant  4 to her. She sat on her seat reading a book. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again, with no  5 or fear in her eyes. When the other passengers were scared(惊恐的) half to death, that child was completely calm and  6  . I couldn't believe my eyes.

 When the plane finally reached New York, I was not surprised to  7  that all the passengers were hurrying to come out. I stopped and spoke to the girl whom I had  8  for such a long time. I asked 9 she had not been afraid.

 The child replied, “My daddy is the  10   , and he is taking me home.”

    My friend Alan did not have a rich family. He did not have much money. Sometimes Alan 1 had to accept money and gifts from his family and friends. But do not get me 2. He was not the kind of person who never 3 the money he should. He was always very 4 with the money he spent.

    A few years ago, he won the lottery (中了彩票) and got a huge 5 of money. He was very excited. It changed his life. The 6thing he did was to buy a very expensive new car. Then he 7 spending money on unnecessary things or the things that he normally would not buy. It seemed that he had money to 8. He had more money than he needed and it was burning a hole in his pocket. He wasted his money 9.

    When we got together for a  10 at a restaurant, he would always pay the bill.  He 11 me the money made him feel very happy.

    But, Alan soon 12 out all of his money. He was as poor as a church mouse again. His last dollar was spent and he had no money   13.

    I admit (承认) I do feel  14 for my friend. He had enough money to live like a king. 15, he is back to living a hard life. He was wise about small things, but not about important things.

    When I was in primary school, I had a big argument with a boy in my class. I can't remember what it was about, but I have never forgotten the 1 I learned that day.

    I was sure that I was right and he was wrong. 2, he strongly believed that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson. She 3 with a good idea. She brought both of us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her grey desk and me on the other. In the middle of the desk was a large, round object. It was 4 for me to see that it was black.  She asked the boy what color the object was. "5," he answered in a loud voice.

    I couldn't 6 that the object was white, considering that it was certainly black! One more argument started between the boy and me, this time 7 the color of the object.

    The teacher told us to change our 8, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White." It was then that I knew what was wrong. It was an object with two 9 colored sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side was it black.

    My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must 10 in other person's position（位置） and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their ideas.

    Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Heilongjiang began to keep her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can't read English. “It's like killing two birds with one stone.” said Jia. “My privacy (隐私)becomes safe and my English improves a lot.

    Jia's mother is not the only mom who reads her child's diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 23,000 parents. The results show that 40% of the parents read their children's secrets. That's why , like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

    Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary , too. But he doesn't write it on paper. He writes online, which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents know nothing about the Internet.

    Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Liu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.

    “Parents want to know what is going on in their children's lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing, “But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. If your parents know that you are safe, they'll let you keep your secrets.
