Her father, a cook, took her into the kitchen. He asked his daughter to pour water into three pans (平底锅) and put them on the fire to boil (煮沸). After the water boiled, he put some potatoes into the first pan, some eggs into the second pan and coffee beans into the last one.

After 20 minutes, her father turned off the stove (炉子), took out the potatoes and eggs and put them in a plate. He poured the coffee into a cup.

"Dear, what do you see?" he asked his daughter: "Potatoes, eggs, and coffee," she said.

"Touch (触摸) the potatoes," he told her. She did and felt that the potatoes were soft. After that he asked her to take an egg and break it. She found that the egg was hard. At last, her father asked her to taste the coffee.

"What's the meaning, Father?" she asked.

"The strong and hard potatoes became soft and weak after boiling. The fragile (脆弱的) eggs became hard in the boiling water. The coffee beans were very special, but they changed the water around them," her father said, "As you can see, each thing responded (反应) differently to the boiling water."

"Who are you?" asked her father. "When you have problems, what will you do? Are you potatoes, eggs, or coffee?"

"Got it," the girl said with a big smile.

What a food lover!

Dear Anna,

I understand your feelings. Here is what I think.

……

I hope what I said is helpful to you.

Yours,

Li Lei

I love my family very much, but I once really wanted my own place. As far as I could remember, I had been eating the food my parents told me to eat, wearing the clothes my parents (buy)for me and doing the things my parents wanted me to do.

Finally, the day came when I had my own place. When I started my (one) year of senior high(高中),I was allowed to rent(租) a flat near the school. My flat, about two hours' (drive) from my parents' house, wasn't very big or very nice, but it was my place. It really provided me with the (feel) of freedom.

However, soon, I felt that something was missing,I couldn't find out what it was. Even a party with my friends failed to (complete) lift my spirits. One day, someone knocked the door and I opened it. There were my parents, two brothers and two sisters. They brought food and (drink) and we had a small party. When the party was over, I(realise) that even though I had my own place and I was feeling like an adult, I missed home.

Now, I have become a (real)adult, but I still visit my family once a week because I learnt something that day — there's no place like home.

A: Hi, Rick! You look worried. 

B: I didn't understand a problem in the physics class just now. I was afraid to raise my hand and ask questions.

A: 

B: Because I'm always worried that others will laugh at me.

A: Don't worry. And the teachers are happy to answer your questions.

B: Okay, I get it. Thank you.

A: Come on. I believe you can do it.

B: Question 6 on Page 22.

A:OK. Let me help you.

B:

A: You are welcome.

①Why not find a new friend in 2025— yourself！You may want to get love and care from a good friendship. Well, you shouldn't have to go far to find them.

②Loving yourself, also called self-love, means being as kind to yourself as you are to others. You give love and care to your friends and family. Then give yourself too. Becky Goddard-Hill, the writer of Create Your Own Confidence, says it means speaking to yourself with kindness. It also means taking really good care of your body and mind.

③Studies show that self-love is good for your schoolwork, health and friendships. Self-love makes you believe in yourself. It makes you feel that you deserve(值得) good things, such as kind friends and fun experiences. It doesn't mean you'll be happy all the time. But when you face challenges, you will be confident.

④Start by being kind instead of being angry. When you make a mistake, don't get angry with yourself. You can tell yourself," Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. It's OK. Why did I make this mistake? I need to find it out and avoid it next time. Remember that no one is perfect. Becky also suggests writing down your strengths." Looking at the list often will help bring out the best in you," says Becky.

When I was a teenager, I joined a six-week summer learning camp (度假营) at a university. We had classes in the morning and the evenings were filled with fun activities.  We did have a break in the afternoons. One afternoon, my friend Claude and I found an old basketball.  We went to an outdoor basketball field for a game of one-on-one.

At that time, Claude was taller than me. He was also better at basketball. Over time, I fell behind. Imade up my mind, drove hard to the basket, and missed it！ The ball bounced off the rim (从篮筐弹回). Just as I jumped up to catch it, I saw an elbow(肘) above my face. When Claude caught the ball, his elbow hit my eye hard. I saw stars everywhere. The pain was terrible. Claude kept saying "sorry" over and over. I laughed through the pain.

I spent the next few days walking around with a black eye, but I didn't mind. For years afterward, I got a laugh whenever I told the story and joked about Claude's elbow of death. We all get an elbow to the eye sometimes. Our plans fail. Things work against us. Our ups become downs. When this happens, it's best to face it with laughter and forgiveness (原谅)In this way, you can turn your pain into joy and you can learn and grow.

Anita, 14 years old

With the help of the method, I notice I get angry or impatient when I feel uncomfortable, for example, seeing someone being treated unfairly or feeling physically tired. To help myself, I push my stress ball and write down how I feel. This helps me understand why I'm feeling this way.

Thomas, 15 years old

Dr Suzy Reading taught me to try the HALT method every time I felt down. She also advised me to talk to people I trusted about how I felt. And now I understand it is OK to feel lonely, down or worried. And thinking too much makes me tired. Doing things like listening to music, exercising or making creative artwork can truly help me feel better. I suggest you have a try.

When I first got the violin at 12, its beautiful shape interested me. However, my excitement didn't last long, and I was 1 with my poor skills. "Why can't I play 2 like others? "I asked Mrs. Lin, my music teacher.

She smiled and said, "Every great musician was once a beginner. We shouldn't be afraid of mistakes, but 3 them." Her words warmed my heart. From then on, I practised hard every day after school. Progress was slow, but I 4 day by day, and the music sounded clearer.

There was a music competition in our school and I wanted to have a try. I was 5 at first because I was not sure if I could play well. Mrs Lin held my hands and said she 6 me. For weeks, I 7 practising my piece of music again and again. On the big day, I was so nervous that I could hear my heart beat. Luckily, I saw Mrs Lin 8 at me in the first row. "Calm down and pay attention to the music," I told myself. I let the 9 dance with my fingers(手指) on the violin. To my surprise, I played nicely and the music sounded beautiful.

When I finished, people cheered for me. I didn't win first prize (奖), but the cheers taught me something more 10  — true success lies in facing your fears and welcoming growth.
