When we got to my Dad’s home，we found Dad still coughed a lot，but his smile was as sure as ever. He was sick. My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend，we had to return to our jobs on Monday. But I wanted to let him know that we also cared about him，even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered when our children were small. Before leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit，each child would write a love note to their grandparents. For days，their grandparents would smile as they read these notes of love.

So when I cleaned Dad’s kitchen and made the bed for him, I wrote some notes. Some were like this，“Dad，I put the food in the fridge.”  Some were like this，“Dad，I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were put downstairs he would stay for several weeks when he was. But I put one note upstairs under his pillow(枕头), “If you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

These notes helped improve his health. A few weeks later, I asked Dad how he was doing on the phone. He said, “Much better. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”

Smoking is bad for you, but what if your parents smoke? You might be worried about their health, be tired of smelling the smoke, or even a little embarrassed by it. You can’t order your parents t o stop smoking, but you can help them to give up this bad habit. Tell them smoking is not good for their health.

If you think it will help, you could find some articles like this one and give them to your parents. Many states now have free program s to help people give up smoking. You might even see them advertised on billboards(公告栏) in your town. Point these out to your parents and help them to find out more about these programs.

What if your parents get angry with you for mentioning the topic of smoking? People don’t like to be told that they are doing something unhealthy, so it is possible your parents will be angry, especially if they are worried they won’t be able to give up smoking. Maybe they have tried before but failed.

Remember to be kind and show respect(尊敬) when you discuss smoking with your parents. Also remember that it is not easy to give up smoking. Some people have tried several times before they’re able to give up. Instead of shouting at them, tell them that you love them and want them to enjoy many healthy years ahead. They may finally realize you are right about smoking.

If your parents agree to stop smoking, be their biggest supporter. Ask if there is anything you can do when they feel the desire(渴望) to smoke. Maybe you could go for a walk, do a puzzle, or listen to music together. As they reach their goals, such as a month without smoking, remember to celebrate the achievement.

  I was fifteen months old and a happy kid until the day I fell. It was a terrible fall and my eyes were____41____(严重地) hurt. Trying to____42____(挽救) my eyes, mum found a good doctor . He said that my sight was lost but he would try to____43____(把……留下) my eyeballs with me. So when I walked with my face looking at the floor, people would not see my blind eyes. However, when the kids played games, I was always____44____(单独的). Sometimes I ____45____(隐藏) myself in my room. At that time mum encouraged me, "If you hold your head up high, it will be okay."

     In high school I was ____46____(成功的) and I was even elected____47____(班长) of our class. But Sometimes I still felt lonely. When things got really terrible, I would____48____(哭) to mum and she would look at me lovingly and said, "Hold your head up high and____49____(面对) the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside."

     Now in my home we often say "Hold your head up high". The____50____.(礼物) from my mum has passed down to my children. I think we will live with it forever.

Friends are very important in people’s lives. No one can live alone in the world without friends. I think it’s easy to make friends with other people and build a friendship b  (1)   each other. H___  (2)  ____it is not easy to get true friendship, I think.

So what is true friendship? In my opinion, true friendship includes:

First of all, true friendship must t   (3)   their friends loyally(忠诚地) and help each other. In other words, you must not take advantage of(利用) your friends, and you mustn’t cheat them. For example, some unfriendly people make friends in order to cheat m  (4)   and feelings, or get a c  (5)     secret and so on. I don’t think these are true friendship.

Second, true friends must try their best to help each other. For example, i  (6)   a friend is indeed in need of money to escape from some t  (7)   , true friends might lend it and help him or her.

Third, friends must share their happiness and s  (8)   . One of the greatest men o     (9)  said,“If you tell your happiness to your friend, you will get double happiness. If you tell your sadness to your friend, you will get h  (10)   .”

He comes from a small village far from any big town. He is the son of a farmer. He is Wu Yulu, a common     61     (invent) from a village.

Local villagers thought Wu Yulu was crazy.       63      , he never gave up his dream. He  spent most of his time on robots with different     64      (skill) and didn't care about farming.

So far, he      65     (create) more than thirty robots. Some clean, some wash the dishes, and      66     pour water, light cigarettes or serve food.

Influenced by Wu Yulu, his son Wu Wangyang loves robots, too. He is so crazy about robots    70    he always loses himself in his inventions. In the future, he and his father Wu Yulu will surely invent more useful robots.
