When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good  21 . I often listened to this “time machine” as she shared her study with me.
At the end of the term we invited Susan to give us a  22 . When she was stepped up to the front, suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little frustrated（沮喪的） and said, “I'm sorry. I’m so nervous that I can’t get my ready talk    23 , so I have to tell you  24 I know .”
In her speech she told us, “We don’t stop playing as we are old, we grow old because we stop playing. The secret of staying  25 , being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something  26 every day. I think there is a great  27 between growing old and growing up.
