Do you often talk with your parents about your problems? When you talk to them, will they believe what you say, listen to you and 36 you?
It has 37 to do with both you and your parents. Some parents are easy to talk to, and they are great listeners, 38 some are hard to walk close to. As communication is a two-way street, the 39 you talk can cause different results. So you should follow the advice below.
Be 40 . Tell your parents about what you think, feel, and want as clearly as possible. They will be more helpful if they 41 what you mean and what’s really going on.
Make your parents believe you. If you’re 42 honest (诚实的), your parents will believe what you say. However, if you hardly tell them the truth, it will be difficult for them to believe you.
Try not to 43 . If you disagree with your parents, can you see things 44 your parents’ side? If both you and your parents think for each other, you will be able to talk in a 45 way.

Gail Mirabella works as a dog trainer for a circus (马戏团). She used to train her dogs to do tricks when she was a kid. Finally, her hobby turned into her job. Several days ago, she talked to Time Magazine reporter, Cameron Young, about her love for dogs.
Reporter: Did you always want to be a dog trainer in a circus?
Mirabella: When I was a little kid, I did my first dog show, a kid’s dog show. And I took first place (名次). From then on, I knew I wanted to work with dogs, but who would know I’d be in a circus?
Reporter: Did you have any dogs growing up?
Mirabella: Of course. I had a white shepherd dog when I was a little baby. And then when he died, we got two family dogs. When I was 14, I got one on my birthday. He was a big shepherd dog and reminded (使想起) me of the shepherd dog I had when I was a baby.
Reporter: How long does it take to train a dog, one month, half a year or one year?
Mirabella: That depends on the dog. I have thirteen dogs and I let them all play together, but I do a lot of special work with each dog. They know I am their owner because I do all the feeding.

Mirabella: A dog. Just joking. I would probably still work with animals.

My friends and I bought our favorite candies from Mrs. Pratchett’s Store every day on our way to school. My favorites were Sherbet Suckers and Liquorice Bootlaces.
Thwaites told me I should never eat Liquorice Bootlaces. Thwaites’s father was a doctor. He said that it was made from rats’ (耗子的) blood. The father told his young son a lot about Liquorice Bootlaces after he found that his son ate it. “Every ratcatcher in the country,” said the father, “takes his rats to the Liquorice Bootlace Factory and they pay him for each rat. Many ratcatchers have become rich by selling rats to the factory.”
“Don’t ever eat them,” said the father. “If you eat, you’ll get ratitis.”
“What is ratitis, Daddy?” asked young Thwaites.
“It’s a very terrible disease (疾病),” said the father.
“I see. But what will happen to me if I catch it?” asked young Thwaites.
“Your teeth will fall out one by one,” answered the father. “And a short tail (尾巴) will grow out of your back. There is no medicine for ratitis. I know. I am a doctor.”
We all enjoyed Thwaites’s story. We asked him to tell us this wonderful story many times on our walks to and from school. But any of us didn’t stop buying Liquorice Bootlaces except (除……之外) Thwaites.

Dear Mary,
Yesterday was my birthday. I got lots of e-gifts from my friends. But they are on my computer, because my friends sent them to me through the Internet. I really don’t like e-gifts. Before, when I got a gift, I felt happy, because I could hold it in my hand and read it or watch it again and again. But with e-gifts, I can’t feel them, so as if I haven’t received a gift. That’s why I don’t like e-gifts.
Yours,
Li Hua
