Nearly every parent says that we never grow up．In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old．In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things．For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can make their children live in a comfortable world．They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and often a thousand-Yuan-cost bike．They think that they have done everything that they can for their dear children．In return, they only want their children to get good results in the examinations.
But why their children still can’t understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material （物质的） things? No．In fact, what they want is a true family．What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside．From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation （安慰）, and we can get happiness．And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more．Then, no children will be regarded as little ones.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.The writer couldn't see everything clearly through the window because_____.

| D．the woman's window was still terrible |

When some plates(版块) of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They often happen near the mountains.
During the earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even
crack(断裂)open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed. Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “ earthquakes belts(带)” In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.
