Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I     31   .I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father     32   , too.” But what about the other days of the year ?
I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day 1 went to see her. We had a nice conversation. Then she wanted to      33    . So she dialed(拨号) the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen      34    , she dialed the number again “Hi, Mom…”
Later I asked, “    35     did you dial the number twice?” She smiled, “My parents are old and      36     . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them      37     time to answer the call.”
My friend is a good girl. She is     38    thinking about her parents. You also want to be a       39     child, right? Please always remember to     40   your parents often, not just on some important days.
