I was driving home on a very hot afternoon and about to near a crossing(十字路口). One of the major traffic light had gone out , and a police officer was standing in the middle of around twenty lanes of very busy traffic . The fact was that he had no hat or shade(遮棚)to shield(保护)him from the burning sun but , he was upbeat and doing a fabulous(出色的)job .

I saw a drugstore on the comer , and while I was there , I wanted so badly to get some water for the officer ! I had some hesitation(犹豫), though , as it was a little out of my comfort zone(安全区)to communicate with a stranger in this way .

I discussed , struggled , left , drove part-way home , turned around , went back to the drugstore , got water , and then found myself thinking about how to hand it to him in the busy crossing . I knew that he might not be able to take it – he wouldn’t have hands to hold it since he was busy making motions(动作)to direct(指挥)the traffic – but I had to try .

I drove into the crossing , rolled down my windows as I passed the officer , and gave him the bottle of water . Though he wasn’t able to take the bottle , he broke into a smile and said , “ Thank you . ”

I drove home , feeling better for having persisted(坚持). And I was even inspired to call the station that afternoon to make sure they knew what a great job he did that day . It felt good to spread(传播)the positivity(正能量), and it was the least I could do .

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).

Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t understand your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values can help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

Welcome to the Amazing Kids Website! Here you can read about clever children all over the world.

Gina, who is thirteen years old, got the first prize in the “Young Cook of the Year” competition and is now writing her own recipe (烹饪) book for kids. “I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children to use,” she says. Gina learned to cook while her father is cooking, who’s a good cook. She wants to encourage other children to cook because “everyone needs to eat, so it’s a skill that will always be useful!”

Fourteen-year-old Bren loved running until he had a serious car accident three years ago. He lost part of one leg and didn’t even expect to walk again. Now he’s an athlete who has recently completed a marathon. “After my accident I wanted to give up,” he says. “But now I’m happy to be alive and able to continue running.”

Helga has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor. Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town. “That gave me an idea,” says the clever sixteen-year-old girl. It took her over a year to invent a special machine that tells car drivers when a train is coming. One company is already interested in selling it, so it may be in the shops soon!
