My grandfather went to high school in the 1920s. While in school, he became       in the drama program, acting in various productions. He       in touch with his drama teacher.
My father went to high school in the 1960s. Like his      before him, he acted in high school. He, too,stayed in touch with his drama teacher for the rest of the teacher's       I graduated in 1997. When Hoover, my drama teacher, was      in Alaska, I didn't want her to feel like she was ending her life     , so I sent her many packages, including Drama Club yearbook photos from each year she      there in order that she could see the students whose lives she forever     .
Her nickname for our group of Drama Club was "the Throwaway Kids".      , no? She described us as that       we were nonconformists (不墨守成规者) that other teachers didn't         know what to do with. She simply      us for who we are, and that was exactly what we needed.
We have all become       members of society: reporters, lawyers, and singers, soldiers, doctors and, you guessed it, teachers. Every member of my family is a teacher. This year        the 73rd year we have taught in Alaska altogether.
      me, teaching the course is only one important part of the     job. As I returned to my classroom just before the final bell      on the last day of school in May, I thought how the most emotional part of the experience will not be seeing the recent       return to say "hello" at Christmas. That was how the     of keeping in touch with our teachers our whole life long began in my family. Honestly, learning      a lifetime.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I      teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I     the same things thousand and one times, do not      me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story    you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a    , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I     , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my     little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you     to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life.
When at some moment I lose the memory or the     of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you      to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well      I need to and when not. When my     legs do not allow me to walk, give me your     , the same way I did when you gave your first   .   And when someday I say to you that I do not want to      any more -that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,      my mistakes, I always wanted the      thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, or angry for seeing me      you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you      living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and     . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, son.
Your father

Mark Twain said that "habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed(劝诱) downstairs a step at a time. " The chances of successfully changing negative behavior    when you make gradual changes that give you time to _   _ negative patterns for positive ones.
On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and _   _ to begin to change a given behavior "today." Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time      or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high       . In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing    it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not       if they start with the change itself.      , they believe that we must        a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that       change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that       what you do ,you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most     problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to      when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose after doing       on an exam, you say to yourself, “I can not believe I failed that easy exam. I am so stupid.”By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational,   statements about what is really going on, you can increase the       that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be     as follows: "I really didn't study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next     ”.
Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from      and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully      or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on (沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we        realize that those challenges are the very things that        us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with       .
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two      . We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing        the challenge isn't worth the        and call it quits. Although there are certainly        when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most        all that is needed is        and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how        or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to        it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a        for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong.        you can say to a friend, "I got my feeling hurt,"          "You hurt my feelings," you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for        they are: small hurdles you need to jump or        on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is        to get over, and hurt only        to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it        to everyone, and some day you will        all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."
