My tears run down when I talk to my parents on the phone. What are they doing when I 41 them?
Dad works from 7a.m to 9p.m. Mum does all the 42 . She also has to work in the vineyard (葡萄园). But I can’t do 43 for them. Every day she got up earlier than Dad. When I 44 call her at 7:30 in the evening, she is still working and 45 supper. How hard it is for a daughter to stop the 46 in heart! And even harder to keep back the tears. 47 only thing I can do is to promise her that I’ll study hard in the university. I also 48 her to take care of herself and dad. I can not live 49 them.
Mum says the happiest time for dad and 50 is when my sister and I return home. We play 51 in the room, watch TV or do anything we like, with dad 52 mum cooking together in the kitchen. It is 53 the happiest time for me. I’ve never thought my holidays at home could be so 54 . I wanted to do more housework because mum really needs more rest.
Love, sometimes, doesn’t need too many 55 . We may be too shy to say the warm word out. Then give them a call and tell them you miss them.

Dear friends,

When      worries me.  I always go to her for help. I can tell her anything because she can keep secrets. We like to talk with each other because we always have the same     .

Do your parents ever say, “Act like a lady” or “Be a gentleman” to you? But in the eyes of today’s teenagers, what qualities (品质) should a lady or a gentleman have? Let’s take a look.
What is a gentleman?
The girls have their say:
Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou: A gentleman is not a strong, stupid guy. He doesn’t get angry. He cares about others’ feelings. He’s always ready to help. There is a boy in my class I think is a gentleman. I didn’t do well in the mid-term English exam. He comforted (安慰) me by saying I would do better next time. His words made me feel happier.
Chen Tingting of Henan: A gentleman always says, “ladies first”. When cleaning the classroom, he does the heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There aren’t any gentlemen in my class. When there are snacks, the boys in my class are always the first to grab them!
Boys tell us what they think a lady is:
Wu Yifan of Dalian, Liaoning: A ladylike girl is gentle and quiet. But she’s not shy; she’s not afraid of expressing herself. She is kind and beautiful. To me, actress Dong Jie is a lady. She is pretty and gentle. She also has a kind heart. She does a lot for charity.
Wang Lichao of Tianjin: A lady is not just pretty-looking but wise too. She never says rude words. She is not noisy. She is always calm and at ease. There aren’t any real ladies in my class, I think. Most of the girls are of a style I call “wild beauties”.
