Modesty (谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, there is no1. However, the phrase "毛遂自荐" seems to disagree with this.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin army beat Handan.2 that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan asked for help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were3 enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered.
Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, "How long have you been here with me?" "Fo three years," Mao Sui answered. "I hear that a person with talent is like an awl (锥子) in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon make a hole in the4. You've been here for a long time, but haven't seen any of your5. Maybe you don't have any talent," said Prince Pingyuan.
"What I'm asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will make a hole in it, but not only the point - the whole awl," Mao Sui said in a6 way. He wasn't afraid of Prince Pingyuan.
Impressed by him, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao7 showed that he was very helpful. Now the phrase "Mao Sui recommending himself" is used to8 someone who volunteers to do a task.

2、Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even1. Since I was a teenager, I2 that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let3 people know your feelings. If you are not able to communicate, things4 bad. When you are mad at your parents, it is no use not talking to them. If you look5 the word "communication" in dictionary, it will say "the exchange of ideas and information".6 a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by7 a note. You have to make your parents8 good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they say, but ask them9 to listen to you.10 away only makes the situation worse.
This is11 example. One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she felt12 would be rude of her to go home first. As a result, she was late getting home. Her parents were angry at first, but when Sophie explained13 she was late, they weren't so mad. Communication is the key factor there.
Relationship can only14 with communication. Just remember,15 you get into a situation like Sophie's, tell your parents how you feel.
