“What should I do now to get rid of(摆脱) the 12 ?” asked the teacher again.
“Put the glass down!” said a student.
“ 13 !” said the teacher. “Life's problems are something like this. Hold them for some minutes in your head and they seem OK. Think out them for a long time and they begin to make you feel ache. Hold them even longer and they begin to make you numb. You will not be able to do anything.”

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet.
Moms and Dads need to care for their kids from the minute they were born. It's a parent's job to love and help kids—and most parents will try their best to do this, even when the “kids” grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.
Here are some ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship(关系).
Spend time together. Don't play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go outside together, play a game, or read a book out loud. Try to spend more time together.
Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they'd like their parents to help them when they're unhappy. Tell them if you're sad or have a problem. They'll be happy to help you.
Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent's day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It's also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It's important to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting(尊重) each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.
Do your best at whatever you do. You don't have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you're turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know you're doing a good job.
