Jessi remembers that when she and Joey first started staying at home alone, they weren't allowed to open the door for anyone or invite any friends to their home. Now Jessi's allowed to invite over any friend that her mum knows well.

Every family has different home alone rules. Here are some common rules:

“Closed door” policy (原则)

Don't open the door for anyone except a brother, sister or parent.

Keep all doors locked, at all times.

Checking in

When you get home, call your parents to let them know that everything's OK.

Phone calls

Only pick up the phone if it's a parent, relative, or friend who your parents know.

If you answer the phone and the person asks for a parent, just say that he or she is busy and can't come to the phone. Never tell a stranger on the phone that you're home alone!

Snacks

If you feel nervous about using appliances like the oven, you may have some snacks instead of (代替) cooking food yourself.

Visiting friends

Most children have a rule that no friends are allowed in the house when they're home alone. This may be no fun but in the end, is safe for everyone.

Staying inside

Your parents may want you to stay at home and not to go anywhere—not even a friend's house, park, or store.

No Internet

Many parents, including Jessi and Joey's mum, ask their children to wait until a parent is home before going online.

These rules are very important. Follow them when you're home alone.

Wechat is popular among us, but if someone deletes you or blocks(屏蔽)you on it,does it mean you’ve made him or her angry?

It depends.

Maybe you have just left messages too often without much valuable information. For example, the questions are those like ‘how are u? ’ ‘what are u doing? ’ ‘do u love me? ’ too often. You know, people may feel bored after answering such kinds of questions time after time.

Another possible reason may be that you’ve sent something unpleasant to your friend or in your friend circle. I just blocked one of my middle school classmates yesterday because she was trying to sell fake goods in the friend circle, and I hale it quite much.

Some people delete the one's name from friends’ list because they no longer want to see it (maybe ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend) and they don’t want the one to see their“ Moments” (动态) on WeChat (maybe they publish very private pictures or life or thoughts they don’t want to share with him or her.)

So why you are blocked may depend on his or her mood or preference (喜好), and the reasons a person gets blocked are various from person to person. So I suggest you to write an email or make a phone call to that person if he or she really means a lot to you to see why he or she is dissatisfied with you ,and to find out how you can make up for the case.

1.From paragraph 3, we can know if you are blocked that is because ______.

A. you are asking too many boring questions

B. your friend is angry

C. your friend doesn’t like answering questions

D. your friend has no time to reply

A. the goods B. the name C. the private life D. the friend circle

3._______causes of being deleted or blocked are mentioned in the passage.

A. 4 B. 2 C. 3 D. 5

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Friend Circle B. Why Are You Blocked?

C. A Popular Way of Communication D. How to Make Your Friend Satisfied
