24、   I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn't spend much time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.

About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.

On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called "Chocolate or Toys". He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn't have a choice.

This exercise told us that sometimes we don't have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).

A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict and how much she hated her mother.

"I want a new mom," she cried.

"Unfortunately, you can't have one," the leader replied. "You have to accept the mother that you have."

This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn't choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation.

25、

If you lose 12 times in a row (连续地), will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful. Carnegie was born in 1888 in a poor farming family in the central United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens, he usually had to get up at 3 a.m. every day to milk the cows in his family. When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks. His mother encouraged him: “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate(辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 contests. The young man was very upset for a period of time. He said later that he thought of killing himself after so many failures. But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work paid off at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became widely known. The young man made his own words come true: “Believe that you will succeed, and you will.”

In order to share his success, Carnegie opened schools and wrote books. His best-sellers include “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”. More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages. They are still helping people on the way to success.

26、On the first day of school, our professor introduced a special classmate, a little old lady to us.

Zheng Chenyu says that he would _________ “Where can I find food? _________ can I cook it?” The l4 year-old boy says that he knows little about cooking. “I can cook tomato and egg soup, but that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We don’t know what to do, or how to _________ ourselves,” said Zheng. “And I may forget something important. I may probably _________ television and then burn (煮干) the soup.”

_________ Zheng believes that basic life skills, such as cooking and washing clothes, are especially important, she doesn’t think teenagers get enough practice.

“As soon as I leave home, I’ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost _________ for us. We’re very lazy,” she said. Most teenagers only have time for their _________. They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college.
