I learned all about taking responsibility from my mother’s tough love. My mom had a wonderful way of helping you up and realize that your life is going to be what you make it. She had this circular way of you took responsibility for your decisions and the person you would . She would say,“ It' s your .” “What you want and what you get are sometimes two different things.” And then, “No one ever said life was fair.” And she would these comments together in such a way that you could never an argument, and yet, the was that you realized your life is going to be what you make it. So I might go to my mom and say, “I’d like to football”. And she would say, “Well, it's your life. If you want to go out there and get and hurt and break your knees and limp around the rest of your life, that' s fine.” That is I would say, “Well, you know, that won’t . I' m really fast.” And she would reply, “Well, we don’t really have the money.” And then I would , “Yes but that' s not fair.” And she would reply, “ Well, life isn’t .” Then I would say, “But I’ve been itching to.' And she would reply, “Yes, but what you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.” It was the combination of these that allowed my mother to lead me down the right path under her but let me feel as if I was making the decisions my own. The sum total of that was, in the end, you’re for the life you lead. That' s the best advice I’ve ever gotten. 小题1: A．light B．open C．grow D．keep 小题2: A．promising B．ensuring C．ignoring D．noticing 小题3: A．protect B．envy C．refuse D．become 小题4: A．fault B．life C．progress D．turn 小题5: A．Then B．But C．Now D．However 小题6: A．increasingly B．approximately C．completely D．occasionally 小题7: A．combine B．remind C．answer D．publish 小题8: A．lose B．doubt C．win D．raise 小题9: A．belief B．reason C．mistake D．result 小题10: A．quit B．play C．buy D．watch 小题11: A．beaten up B．dressed up C．divided D．closed up 小题12: A．what B．how C．when D．which 小题13: A．fail B．work C．last D．happen 小题14: A．take B．go C．make D．catch 小题15: A．fair B．cosy C．hard D．special 小题16: A．comments B．descriptions C．techniques D．messages 小题17: A．temper B．influence C．activity D．success 小题18: A．for B．on C．over D．beyond 小题19: A．mind B．account C．deal D．advice 小题20: A．famous B．responsible C．sorry D．thankful
