Since they lived in one house, they should share their housework. 3Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence.

4孩子们不应该太依赖他们的父母。 Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. 5父母允许他们做一些决定和犯错误。Failure often teaches children more than success.

22、Music can be a great power to change people’s lives. Regina del Carmen Sanchez, 14, always believes this. The girl from Kansas City, US, leads a hard life. She lives in a small house with her mom and grandparents. Her mom gets a very low pay.

But it doesn’t stop Sanchez’s love of music. She wrote her first song Keep Your Head Up when she was 12. It described the bad situation at her home, but it also sent the message of hope: “My house is old and poor, but it beats (胜过) being homeless… Love yourself and never give up. You’ll see a better life if you keep your head up…”

It took Sanchez several months to finish the song. Sometimes during a break in class, when lyrics (歌词) came into her head, “I would have to write them down right then,” she told the local newspaper The Kansas City Star.

Jeremy Lillie was a spokesman for Bright Futures, a charity fund. When he saw the video of the song, he was moved. He shared it through social media (社交媒体). The fund has provided money for poor students in Kansas City.

If I hold it for an hour, I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call 120. It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

       “If we carry our burdens(负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming heavier and heavier.”

       “What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”

       “We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be better and are able to carry on.”
