There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go. As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the  16  side of this line. When I hold  17  the apron strings connecting us, Nicole, eager to  18  independence, tries to loosen my grasp. What results is a (an)  19  mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango.
For the past two years, it’s gone like this:
Mother’s question: “Have you thought of taking an advanced class so that you can earn college credit?”
Daughter’s  20  : “No, I’m not interested in that.”
……
Two months ago, she was  21  to a great university. However, I was still the mother having a  22  time letting go. The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the course catalog carefully and  23  courses which I thought looked good. We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face  24  with excitement. “I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished,  25  she should have discussed it with me. I examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an)  26  one of the courses I had suggested. Every course she had chosen  27  suited her interests. Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a  28  mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother  29  every decision she made. I felt proud, though still a bit  30  .
I  31  the lessons carefully. Nicole has struggled to learn over the past 18 years:  32  , sympathy, and hard work. There have been a few holes along the way.  33  , she is well-equipped and eager to  34  the future. The next step, I recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the  35  we both needed.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with   16   problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very   17  . So, what makes blogging different from writing in   18   diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   19   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   20   that she does not want to   21 
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   22   a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   23   . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  24  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   25   in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   26   that my sister might read it!
The biggest   27   with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   28   about her in my diary, she would never know!   29, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   30  read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also   31   to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.”   32   would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   33   respond（回应）and tell her how much they  _34   her. Blogs help people   35   in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
