It's very common to meet different people in public places.

    When I was  12 years old,I got a small job in a    16  ,On my first day at work,I didn't come home for lunch. When I came home at night, Mum asked, “How did you    17  your lunch, dear?”I answered,“I made some new friends in the supermarket, twin brothers, their mom and dad. They were my customers. They invited me   18   lunch."

Mum was happy that I had made new friends but she wanted to know what kinds of    19  they might be.

Several days later,I asked my friends to come to the supermarket where l worked   20  let Mum meet them. Mum was very    21    to find out that the twin brothers were joined at the chest（胸部）.She felt very strange because I didn't tell her about that before.

    When Mum asked me about this,I said,“I know that too. But do you know that their mom has to make all clothes because it's    22    difficult to find anything to fit them? They're also good    23    .That day, Joe, the one on the right, made me noodles for lunch."

    When Mum saw the twins, she must have thought how strange they    24    .But to me,what I cared about was that they had difficulty——25    clothes and they were good cooks.

　　Laws(法律)for children are good things. One hundred years ago in some countries, children worked eighteen hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.

　　Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think if children do something wrong, they should be punished(惩罚). Other people do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents do not beat them. If the children go too far, their parents will punish their children by making fun of(取笑)them.

　　Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can beat their children at home, but a teacher can’t beat a child in school. This is also true in Germany. Instead, in Sweden it is against the law for anyone to beat a child. Swedish parents can’t beat their children. The children also have a government official(政府官员)who works for their rights(权力). There is even a plan(计划)for children to leave their parents, though this is not a law yet!
