I have learned a lot from getting along with him.After he was born, I almost became a babysitter. I had to amuse him after school. I would make faces and sing to him when he was crying. Sometimes I even carried him everywhere in our yard to refresh him while my parents were busy. What I liked to do best was to feed him when looking after him. How cute he was as he tasted his favorite food! My parents often praised me happily, “As an elder brother, you’ve made contributions to looking after your younger brother.”I have got happiness from sharing. When I was young, I was the only child in my family. I could get what I wanted from my parents and get my parents’ whole love. I was a “LittleE mperor”. But now, as long as I get something good, I will share it with him. I remembered the year when he was three, he was fond of Rubik cubes (魔方). I bought one for him with my lucky money as a birthday present. When he got the toy, he was so happy that he laughed, hugged me and said, “Brother, I love you!”Thanks for spending these years together with my family. It has taught me whatresponsibilitymeans, what unselfishness means and what friendship means. Not only should I look after myself, but also I should pay attention to my family and my friends.1.

新目标九年级1---15单元Reading的翻译Reading 我们如何处理我们的问题无论是富有还是贫穷，年轻还是年老，我们都有问题。

如果我们不处理我们的问题，我们会很容易变得不快活。

担心我们的问题会影响我们在学校的表现。

它也会影响我们和家人相处的方式。

那么我们怎么处理我们的问题呢?有许多方法。

通过学会忘记------我们大多数人可以同我们的朋友，父母或者老师生过气。

或许他们说过某些你们不喜欢的事情，或者你们觉得他们不公平。

有时，人们可以为一个小问题生气几年。

时间流逝，良好的友谊可能失去了。

然而，当我们生气时，通常我们自己就是受影响的那个。

可能我们看见过小朋友们在一起玩耍。

有时他们有不同的意见，并且决定互不讲话，不过，这通常不会延续很久。

这对我们是很重要的一个教训:我们可以通过学会忘记来解决问题。

通过把问题看作是挑战------许多学生经常抱怨学校。

有时他们可能觉得他们有太多作业要做，或者认为校规太严。

我们必须学会如何把这些"问题"变为"挑战"。

教育是我们发展中的一个重要部分。

作为年轻人，我们的责任就是尽力在老师的帮助下应付我们教育中的每一个挑战。

通过想更糟糕的事情-------通过把自己与别人比较，你会发现你的问题并不是那么可怕。

例如，想一下斯蒂芬霍金，一个非常聪明的科学家，他把他的很多身体问题看得不重要。

他既不能走路也不能说话，但他却非常有名非常成功。

我们很可能相当健康和聪明。

让我们不要担心我们的问题吧。

相反，让我们直面挑战吧。

Reading 他过去常常惹很多的麻烦马丁默里是一个十五岁的男孩。

他曾经是一个"问题少年"，但是近来他同母亲的一次谈话改变了他的生活。

他以前并没有给她的母亲造成很多麻烦。

但是，几年前他父亲去世后，马丁的生活就变得困难多了，他的母亲支付不起孩子的教育费用。

为此，她不得不工作，所以就经常不在家。

他的母亲尽可能的好好照顾他。
