Working parents feel that they are not giving their children enough care. They think that their children feel 1 and 2 to spend more time with them.
Scientists in some colleges have found that working parents believed that they knew 3 their children, but 4 had ever asked their children what they thought. So scientists interviewed (采访) over 1,000 children of working mothers or fathers to 5 what they wanted. They asked the children 6 they wanted their parents to stay 7 and some 8 questions．After they collected the answers, it was 9 that only 10% of the children in their study said that they wanted more time with their parents. _10_, the children who were interviewed said they wanted their parents to give more 11 to them. They said that their parents were as 12 as a bee. When they were asked about what they 13 most, a large number of the children said that they wanted to feel important and 14 .
So parents should know what their children really want and how to get along 15 with them.

Bees live in a house that is called a hive. There are three kinds of bees: workers, drones (雄蜂) queens. Only one queen bee can live in each hive. If she is lost or dead, the other bees their work.
Workers are very clever and busy. They all join together small rooms called cells of wax for their honey. Each worker bee does its own work. Some go out and collect honey from the flowers; stay at home and work inside the hive. The cells have six sides are made by worker bees. Did you ever look into a glass hive and see them while at work? It is to see how busy they always are. Before winter comes, all the drones are driven from the hive they don’t eat the honey they did not collect.

Once there lived an unhappy king who slept badly and didn’t feel like eating anything. This made queen and his people worried. A doctor was called in to him. The doctor said it’s all in his mind instead of his body. So medicine nor rest could help him but a shirt of a happy person.
The prime minister was called to the palace. When hearing the king’s situation, he said, “Although I have much power, it doesn’t make me . I’m always worried about losing it.” Then, the king’s banker came and said he had lots of wealth, but he also worried about losing it. He was never happy, either. Next, the palace singer came and his words were almost the same.
Finally, the top general was told to find a happy man in time. Luckily, he found a poor man without power, money or fame singing happily on a street. The general asked him made him so happy. The poor man answered that he had everything he wanted and he didn’t want those he couldn’t have. His songs came from the happiness in his heart.

Every year when Mother's Day cards show up in the stores, I remember my mother. She never cared much for .I could just send a card or give her a call, and she'd be very happy.
A few months later after her death, I was in a store out a Mother's Day card when suddenly I realized I had one to send it to.
Each Mother's Day, I choose a different theme (主题) to remember her. This time, it's some of the things she said. For example:
When I asked her not to send my brother to a boarding school, she said, "They'll teach him to read Braille (盲文). he wants to have a life, he has to learn to read."
When I that she ought to get a life, she replied, "I work five days a , clean my house on Saturday, go to church on Sunday. I don't need a 1ife. I need help."
When we fell on hard times, she said, "Life is a . Sometimes you give, other times you take. Either way, it's al1 the same one. But try to remember how hard it is to take, because one day, you will do the giving.'"
My mother was rea1ly a woman. I remember my mother. And some day, when I'm gone, I hope my children will remember me.
