How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.
31__. A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.
Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you’re off on your own. It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 32
Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it’s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are
human beings and make mistakes. 33 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 34 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 35 Seek help if you are being abused (虐待) in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.
A. Forgiveness is the key.
B. Tell them you love them every morning.
C. Parents will in turn express their love to you.
D. After this, share your feelings with your parents.
E. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can.
F. Please remember parents are as important as friends.
G. There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example.

写作;
Dear Tom,
I’m writing to ask you to do me a favor. My good friend Zhang Hong will go to Canada to study for a month. You live really close to her school, so I’d like to ask you to pick her up at the airport and help her rent an apartment.
She has never been to Canada and doesn’t know anybody there. Therefore, I hope you can take care of her. Her flight number is Star888 and she will arrive at 10:00 am on September 10. She is also a high school student who not only has good character but also does well in her study. I think you can become good friends.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: Thank you.When will you come?
M: The film doesn’t start until 8:15.I’ll leave here at 7:20.It’ll take 20 minutes to get to your house.
Text 2
M: You know you can park at the airport, right?
W: It’s got to be so expensive to leave your car overnight, though.
M: No, it’s not that much.Besides, the subway takes too long to get there.
Text 3
W: Excuse me, I’m here to pick up my daughter Mimi.Is she all right?
M: I think she ought to stay here for at least another 24 hours.She still has slight fever.Why don’t you telephone tomorrow?
Text 4
M: It seems that we will have another fine day tomorrow.Let’s go to the seaside.
W: OK.But we’ll have to leave very early, or else we will get caught in the traffic.

W: Excuse me, but is it half past four yet?
M: I’m sorry, but I haven’t got a watch.Try the old man with the walking stick.He has one.
Text 6
M: Look at all this bread! French, Italian… it all looks really good.I don’t know when America started its bread revolution, but I’m sure glad it happened.I could eat bread all day!
W: Me, too.This isn’t the kind of bread we ate when we were young.That sliced bread(切片面包） had more artificial（人工的） things in it than you can count!
M: Yeah, but our parents didn’t realize it was so unhealthy.These days, you can find a lot of freshlybaked bread with only four or five ingredients.
W: So, what are we going to buy? That long loaf of bread looks really good.
M: ⑦I’d rather have something lighter and thicker so I can make a nice big sandwich with it.
Text 7
M: ⑧Look at this place! If I didn’t know it was the place I grew up in, I’d swear I was somewhere else.
W: Yeah… so many houses are empty or broken down.It wasn’t like this when we were kids.
M: We used to play ball in the streets all the time, but it looks so dangerous now.
W: And ugly.Look at all that trash in the streets. The wind just pushed it along.What a lonely place!
M: ⑧This used to be a great town.People came from miles around to work in the shops and eat in the restaurants.⑨What a sad sight!
W: Yeah, let’s go.There’s nothing left for us here.

W: George, why are you a vegetarian? Your whole family eats meat, except you.I can’t imagine how you chose to live this way.
M: Oh, it happened a long time ago when I was about ten years old. We had some friends who lived on a small farm. (10)They had chickens, goats, sheep, and a few cows. One time, we were invited over for dinner. We came early so we could play before we ate.I was running around the yard with my friends, when I saw the father preparing the meal. He had just caught a chicken and was cutting off its head.I felt very sick when I saw him do it. After that, I would think about the poor chicken every time I ate meat. (11)I ate less and less meat, until I stopped for good when I was twelve years old.
W: I see. (12)What did your parents think about your decision?
M: (12)Well, since it didn’t happen all at once, they probably learned to accept that I would be a vegetarian. It wasn’t easy for them—especially for Mom, who had to cook differently for
me.
Text 9
W: Well, (13)I’m really worried about how I’m going to deal with university life.Maybe if I knew the university a bit better, that might help.

M: Well, let’s look at it together.OK, we are here now in Dalton House.Opposite this building is the Arts Block where you will find the computers. (14)The computer rooms are open from 9:00 am till 8:00 pm weekdays.
W: Fine.
M: Another important building is the Students’ Union.To get to the Students’ Union you keep going down University Lane, past the Science Block on your left.Opposite the Science Block are the Chemistry labs and (15)the Students’ Union is just on the right, next to Lab B.
W: Fine.But I get a bit confused about the directions.
M: (16)Probably the best thing to do is to walk around and familiarize yourself with everything.Now I need you to fill in this form.Take it away with you and then make an appointment to see me again and we’ll go over it.My telephone number is on the form.You can ring me anytime, except on Thursday.

W: Attention please! (17)Now I will give you a brief introduction to the Winter Festival.It is a free event for all people to enjoy, and is organized by a team of volunteers.The government provides $15,000 to the festival.They also persuaded the businessmen around the town to offer about $5,000.
There will be a free art exhibition on 18th, 19th and 20th, December in the Center Park of the town. (18)The opening hours are from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and there is an opening night only on 18th, from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.Different from other exhibitions, (19)this art exhibition is really especial one because the public will have the chance to watch the paintings which are from the town’s school.And all the paintings are created by the students.
(20)It is great that the Festival is going to host a wonderful sound of music in the Main Exhibition Hall this year.This program means to show some of the musical talents that we have in town.Everyone watching the performance had better not wear formal clothes, but fancy dress.
