It's 5. |
When shopping for clothes, my mom and I always disagree on what fits me well. To me, if it zips, it fits. However, my mom usually says I need a bigger 1. When I was in middle school, I wanted to dress2my friends, but my body size made it impossible. Every time when my mom told me3 didn't fit me or I needed a bigger one, all I heard was that I was too4. That's why we stopped shopping together. This went on until I was going to get married and needed to find a wedding5. Of course, I could buy it6 . However, my mom is my favourite person to go out with, so the idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed quite 7 tome. Then the day came. As I8 a white dress, I saw tears in my mom's eyes. "You look very9 in it, my dear." She told me. Nothing could surprise me mere than this.
In fact, this dress didn't zip up at the back and I did need a bigger one, 10 my mother didn't say that. She just told me she couldn't 11 how beautiful I looked. At that moment, all those12experiences we had in the past were gone. We didn't buy a dress that day. We decided to see more. This was what I would13 think about before.
Finally, we found a 14dress after a few weeks' shopping trips. And during those few weeks, mom and l also found the perfect fit for our 15relationship

Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?
A study found that first-borns have an average IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order. It may because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters. This improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.
If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny and can often get more attention from all the bigger people at the thinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article The power of Birth Order, last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.
Then there are the middle children. Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easy-going adults.
Many factors make us "who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.
Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager, I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past.
I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe l could do it, too. The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.
On the day of the race, it was pretty hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking," I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was l thinking?" And at one moment, I said to myself, "I am never doing this again!"
I hat first 10 km race was quite difficult. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. Sometimes I even didn't know if I could finish.
Near the end, a 70-vear-old man ran past me very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed that I was more than 50 years younger than him and I couldn't even follow hm. But then l realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn't? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running
As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn't regret joining in the race.
①He regretted.
②He cheered himself up.
③He felt a little embarrassed.
