Albert Einstein always liked to ask questions when he was a boy. When his teacher 36
him a question, he would think 37 another question to ask her. And often she would get red in the face and be angry 38 him 39 asking questions she couldn’t answer. The more Albert learned, the 40 he found to think about. The more he thought about, the more questions he wanted 41 .

People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children keep 31 while playing with others. However, playing sports can have 32 effects on children. It may 33 feeling of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been 34 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad 35 of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main 36 of too much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children 37 aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually 38 them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, 39 children the message that 40 is everything. Many parents go to children's sporting events and 41 insults (侮辱) at other players or cheer when their child behaves 42 . As well, children are even taught that hurting other players is 43 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. 44 , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to 45 this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches 46 should act as better examples for children. They also 47 to teach children better
_ 48 . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to 49 themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that 50 is not as important as winning.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 36 teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 37 the same things thousand and one times, do not 38 me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 39 you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 42 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you 43 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the 44 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 45 to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 46 I need to and when not. When my 47 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 48 , the same way I did when you gave your first 49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 50 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 51 my mistakes, I always wanted the 52 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me 53 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 54 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
