Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I 31 .I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father 32 , too.” But what about the other days of the year ?
I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day 1 went to see her. We had a nice conversation. Then she wanted to 33 . So she dialed(拨号) the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen 34 , she dialed the number again “Hi, Mom…”
Later I asked, “ 35 did you dial the number twice?” She smiled, “My parents are old and 36 . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them 37 time to answer the call.”
My friend is a good girl. She is 38 thinking about her parents. You also want to be a 39 child, right? Please always remember to 40 your parents often, not just on some important days.

Have you heard of the term “etiquette” And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 1 very useful to understand?
Etiquette is not the same in every culture 2 in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However; if you do this in Europe, some 3 people might feel 4.Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is 5 .For example ,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is 6 .Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice 7 in public places. In fact, we should also 8 not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.
If we see someone 9 the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 10 ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example, if someone cuts 11 you in a line, you could ask them, Sorry, would you mind 12 the line? If someone is smoking on the bus you could ask, Excuse me, could you please 13 that cigarette? People don’t usually like 14 , so we have to be careful how we do this.
Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, 15 is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask them, Would you mind picking it up?

Once there was a king who told some of his people to dig a pond (池子).The king then told his people that one person 15 each family had to bring a glass of milk during the night and put it into the pond. So, by the morning, the pond should be 16 of milk.
After 17 the order, everyone went home. As one man prepared his milk, he thought that since everyone was bringing milk, he would just 18 a glass of water and put that into the pond instead. 19 it was dark at night, no one would notice it, so he quickly went and put the water into the pond and 20 home.
In the morning, the king went to visit the pond. To his surprise, the pond was only filled with water! What happened? Yes! Everyone had the same idea 21 that man. They all thought, “I don’t have to waste my milk. Someone else will do it.”
Dear friends, when you plan to help poor people or people in trouble, do not think that 22 will take care of it. 23 , it starts with you. If you don’t do it, no one else will, so change yourself and make a 24 .

People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to 15 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest（抗议） against heavy trucks which run 16 through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it 17 to sleep at night, but they are doing damage（损害） to our houses and shops of historical 18 ,”
said John Norris, one of the protesters.
“ 19 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a 20 village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.
Harry Fields also studying 21 said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof（隔音的）, so they probably don’t 22 . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
I asked if they were 23 that the police might come to stop them.
“Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no 24 against practising.”
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
