Many people are so busy these days that they have no time to cook at home. This becomes a problem because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and a family meal can bring everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only chance everyone gets to see each other at the same time during the day.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child's sweet tooth. He or she is sending a message (信息). The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.” There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of cooking makes people happy. It makes most of us feel good and loved--even if we're the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood (心情,心境).

It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework,   16  newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see   17  do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful   18  she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked   19  she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:
I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite   20 . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world   21  you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as   22  as you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to   23  . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at   24  tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to   25  the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

I’m taking my family to other countries to have a trip. My wife and I and our two children are all going along. My elder brother will go with us, too.

We’re going by train to New York, and then take a ship to Europe . When we arrive in Europe, we’re going to some countries for sightseeing (观光). We’ll go to places either by train or by bus. We’re going to fly home.
It took us a long time to decide where to go, but I think we’ll have a very interesting trip. We’ll go to England, France and Italy. We also talked about how we would go to Europe.
