One fine morning, Jim White went into his garden. He began to dig a well（井）. He wanted to get water from the well. He wanted the water for his flowers.

　　Soon there was a large pile（堆）of earth. His wife saw it and came out of the house.

　　“I don't want that pile of earth in the garden,” she said. “You must move it.”

　　“I can't put it in the street, can I? Where can I put it?” Jim White asked.

　　“I don't know,” his wife said.“You must find a place.”

　　Jim White went into the next house. His neighbour and friend, Tony Brown lived there.

　　“Good morning, Tony,” Jim White said.“You have a very big garden. It's much bigger than mine.”

　　“Yes, it is.” Tony Brown said.

　　“Can I put some of my earth in it?” Jim White asked.

　　“I don't want a pile of earth in my garden.” Tony Brown said.

　　“Then I'll dig a deep hole and put the earth in the hole.”

　　“Very well,” Tony Brown said.“You can do that.”

　　Jim White dug a deep hole in his neighbour's garden. Then he filled the hole with earth from his garden.

　　Tony Brown came out of his house again. He saw a pile of earth in his garden.

One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重復) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

him for a long time. Usually parents start with the words “Mama” , “Papa” and so on. But as the child 　39 learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being taught, we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored (教導)by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing it in a more active way than before. We 　40 use words which we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words , we 　41 where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don’t realize the child has learned the words from us only. Instead we start to put the blame(指責)on his friends , or 　42 who has talked to him when we’re not present.

　　 So if you want your child to have perfect behavior, you’ll have to 43 a good example to him. And if you can’t do that, you have no 　44 to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great 　45 over their child.
