When I was a foreign teacher in China，every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China．One day the topic mined to saying “I love you”．I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers，nor had their mothers said it to them．“Does your mom love you?” “Of course，”they answered．
“How do you know?” was my logical question．They responded that their moms cooked and Always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earning．I was strummed. So mom’s cooking and criticizing read our as “I love you”．”Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough，so I repeated these queries in clauses over time．Gradually，I began to get different responses．Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms．
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl．When she came home from university，her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her．This had never happened before，but her mom said，“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself．I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you．”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot．While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment，it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning，even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love．
【小题1】The foreign teacher _________．

In Canada, you can find dogs, eats, and horses in almost every family．These are their pets．People love pets and regard them as their good friends．Before they take them to their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections (预防针)．They spend about two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food．When you go to Canadian people's homes, they will be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them．You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden．All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal．They are free to come and go and nobody is able to kill any animal in Canada．They have a law against killing wild animals．If you kill an animal, you will be punished．

People in Canada love animals very much．Do you know why? One of the reasons may be: in their families when children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life．Then the old people fed lonely．But pets can solve this problem．They can be good friends and never leave them．
