    Chicago’s children’s Hospital is the lucky receiver of a surprise $18million gift from Gladys Holm．She once was a secretary who never earned more than $15000 a year and never married．She lived alone in a small flat in Chicago，and was a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital．She was called the “Teddy Bear lady” because she brought toy animals to sick children on her regular visits．But Miss Holm，who died in 1996 at the age of 86 ，was also a long-time buyer of stocks(股票)．Over the years，she saved money that rose up to $18 million ，which she left to the Children’s Hospital ．It was the largest single donation in the hospital’s 115-year history．The hospital president，Jan Jennings，was shocked when she heard the news “when Miss Holm’s lawyer called to tell me how much that money was，I asked him to repeat it ，since I was certain I had misheard．”

    Making Peace with Your Parents

    As a teen, you are going through big changes physically and mentally．Your interests are expanding（增加；扩大）．1.．

    Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world．These conflicts（冲突）can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm house．Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided．But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents．

    For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted , or hungry．A good time to talk is when you are all relaxed．Timing is everything．If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation----for now．_2. Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them．This shows them that you’re listening．3._．

    Respect is the building block of good communication．People who respect each other and care about each other’s feelings can disagree without getting things ugly．

    _4. How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do．Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships．Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers----they’re interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping----just like their teenagers!

    What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky（难以维持的；不稳定的）? 5.You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lead an ear．

    Remember you can only change your own behavior．Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs．

    A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page．

    B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed．

    C．And then you will be able to accept what your parents say．

    D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do．

    E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you．

    F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing．

    G．You may consider seeking outside help．
