Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10 一 month 一 old sister home alone, Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf ... I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper? Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn't the tiny flame I'd expected, and I couldn't blow it out. I threw it on the floor, and then I got my dad's boots (靴子) and stamped it out.
But there was a huge hole left on the floor. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it. However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole. Next I was grounded (关禁闭) for months. Even worse though, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.

In the past, when people had problems, they usually went to their families or friends to get advice. Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hot lines. A hot line is a telephone line. It offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers. Most hot lines are completely anonymous. That is to say, callers do not have to say their names or telephone numbers. Most hot lines are free. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. Usually the advisers are full-time-job people with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers have only taken a short class before starting to work on the hot line. All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems.

David has always wanted to study Chinese kung fu. He heard that there was a Chinese kung fu school on the mountain. So one day, he went and found the school. When David met the headmaster， he told the headmaster he wanted to study Chinese kung fu there. The headmaster nodded and agreed.
But the school has a strange rule. All the students need to be silent. They can only speak two words every three years. That means students have a long time to think about what they really want to say. They must use their two words wisely.
Three years went by and it was David's first chance to speak. There were lots of things he wanted to say. He thought for a second before saying, "Food bad." But after that, the food in the school did not change at all,
Another three years passed and David got another chance to speak. He said,"Bed hard." But still, he didn't get a new bed. David felt very disappointed. So after another three years, he went to see the headmaster and said, "I quit (退学)."
"I'm not surprised," the headmaster replied. "You only ever (总是) complain.
