Do you often communicate with your parents? Some parents are always comparing their 41 with themselves when they were young or with other people when they were children.
"When I was your age," a father said to his sixteen-year-old son one day, "I was at the top of my class every year. And I 42   what I wanted to do when I left school. I had goals (目标). You are always at the bottom (最后) of your class  43  you have no goals."
The man’s son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father many times. "And when your mother was your age, " the young man’s father 44   , " she had a good job and she 45   lots of money. You don’t even have a part-time job .You earn nothing. " The man’s son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too. "And when your 46   brother was your age, "the young man’s father said, "he studied hard. But you just waste your time."
And the man’s son still said nothing.
Finally, the young man’s father said, "And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he worked all day and studied at night."
This time the son  47   stay silent. "
And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, father," he said, "He was the President of 48   United States. 49   are you?"
His father had no answer 50   this.
