Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope（羚羊）wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.” 1. the first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.
This is life: full of chances and challenges. 2. For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. 3.
Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. 4. So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.
I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. 5. .It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.

B.I suddenly knew what competition was
C.There must be competitions in one's life, so people can improve
D.However, I remembered my parents' words, “You must work very hard in order to have a good future.”
E.Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises
Anger（愤怒）often makes us uncomfortable. Seeing your child's anger can be especially uncomfortable. In order to relieve（缓解）this feeling, parents often encourage children to “stop crying” and say things like “It's nothing to cry about.” It's moments like those that plant the seeds of unhealthy anger, The “stop crying” parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents, who were probably taught that by their parents on and on. However, we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids.
If a child never sees his or her parents express anger, he or she should never express anger, either. But if parents always express their anger loudly, their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening.
The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to set a good example for your kids.
Stopping kids from expressing their feelings is wrong. You may feel bad when you believe you are wrong, When children express their feelings and are told that it's nothing to cry about, they come to know that they themselves are bad.
We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling. When your kids express anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and our expressions of feelings are in our control.
Anger is natural and normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.
