I learned all about taking responsibility from my mother’s tough love. My mom had a wonderful way of helping you        up and realize that your life is going to be what you make it.

She had this circular way of      you took responsibility for your decisions and the person you would      . She would say,“ It' s your      .”      “What you want and what you get are sometimes two       different things.” And then, “No one ever said life was fair.” And she would      these comments together in such a way that you could never      an argument, and yet, the      was that you realized your life is going to be what you make it.

So I might go to my mom and say, “I’d like to      football”. And she would say, “Well, it's your life. If you want to go out there and get      and hurt and break your knees and limp around the rest of your life, that' s fine.” That is      I would say, “Well, you know, that won’t       . I' m really fast.” And she would reply, “Well, we don’t really have the money.” And then I would     , “Yes but that' s not fair.” And she would reply, “ Well, life isn’t      .” Then I would say, “But I’ve been itching to." And she would reply, “Yes, but what you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.”

It was the combination of these       that allowed my mother to lead me down the right path under her      but let me feel as if I was making the decisions      my own. The sum total of that     was, in the end, you’re      for the life you lead. That' s the best advice I’ve ever gotten.

Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn’t understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression (敵對(duì)心理) towards the people to lack of appetite(食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.
As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.
But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
【小題1】The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.

A.paying a visit to Chile as a touristB.experiencing Chilean life as a teacher
C.studying Chilean culture as a college studentD.studying knowledge as an exchange student
【小題2】On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?
A.Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.
B.Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.
C.Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.
D.Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.
【小題3】In the first week in Chile the author _ _______.
A.was not used to eating Chilean food B.had some friends to have a chat with
C.couldn’t communicate with peopleD.couldn’t express his thoughts in English
【小題4】What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?
A.Wonderful and worthwhileB.Difficult but meaningful
C.Difficult and meaninglessD.Boring and disappointing
【小題5】 According to the passage, which of the following statements about Chile is TRUE?
A.its official language is Spanish and English.
B.It is a developing country without foreign students.
C.It seldom rains and natural disasters often happen.
D.Most Chileans are not friendly to foreigners.
