I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.
In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson¡¯s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I  1  a room with two double beds and the bathroom was too 2  for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad¡¯s second marriage was   3   and my stepmother had   4  us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no  5_   of what to do with me. And that¡¯s when my other family   6  .
Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home   7   their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I   8  with them for the next seven years.
Barb washed my skirts the same as Su¡¯s. She   9   I had lunch money, doctors¡¯ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders. As far as I could tell, for the Beaches there was no 10 between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I 11  college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance they _12_ when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.
The Beaches knew 13  about me when they took me in ¨C they had heard the whole story from Su.        When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _14  his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely   15__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.
   16  the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (·ßÊÀ¼µË×µÄ) woman. They gave me a(n) 17  that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed(Âé±ÔµÄ) by my _18 , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.
Now I   19 family. For me, it wasn¡¯t the family that was there on the day I was 20  , but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson¡¯s on Interstate

Sometimes, people are required to fill in personal information when they register online, which may lead to some unexpected trouble. Recently, the BBC is reporting that a 17-year-old girl in Australia posted a(n) ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿  of her grandmother at home counting a large sum of cash that she  ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿  hidden in the house. Just eight hours later, two armed men  ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿  the girl¡¯s house. They demanded to speak to her to find out where the grandmother¡¯s house was,   ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ4¡¿  they could get the money they had seen.   ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ5¡¿ , the girl was not home at the time, so the robbers ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ6¡¿ a small amount of cash from the mother and left.
Because the ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ7¡¿ is still under investigation(µ÷²é), local police aren¡¯t saying ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ8¡¿ else about it. It¡¯s not known yet whether the girl had used privacy setting on the Facebook profile page, and even whether the robbers ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ9¡¿ the girl in the past.
Two other ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ10¡¿ were at home then, a 58-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, the girl¡¯s father and brother. Luckily, no one was ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ11¡¿ . The robbers left peacefully after  ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ12¡¿  that the girl was not home and that no one else there knew anything about the  ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ13¡¿  that had appeared in the photo.
Police in both Britain and Australia are using the case to ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ14¡¿  citizens of the dangers of posting personal information on social networks and to suggest users of websites  ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ15¡¿   doing so. The police say it is  ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ16¡¿  that the girl posted a comment in the past that gave clues to the address,    ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ17¡¿  that the robbers knew the girl in another way.    ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ18¡¿  , they suggest, a posting by a friend on their site could have   ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ19¡¿  such information. To find it, the robbers would only have had to search for those posting on other pages that  ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ20¡¿  the girl¡¯s name.

My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the   36  of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then    37  the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on   38  his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he   39  belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be   40  , I didn¡¯t think much of it, but I had   41  to warn my neighbors of the drawings   42  appearing in their letterboxes¡ªI just didn¡¯t have the   43  to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I   44  Mary, my elderly neighbor,   45  at her mail box. She said, ¡°Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?¡± I was at once   46 , ¡°Oh yes, Mary, it is. I¡¯m sorry. I meant to tell you¡­¡± She cut me off, ¡°Jodie, I just love his mail. I¡¯ve   47  every item he has sent. You don¡¯t know how much   48  the letters has made my day. I just love them.¡± While I was walking down to school after our   49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn¡¯t have a lot to fill her days,   50  she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small   51  of getting some mail¡ªpictures drawn by the hand of a young child¡ªhas brought   52  to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should   53  this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most   54  make their day.
It¡¯s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big   55  in someone¡¯s life.

China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto£¨Æû³µ£© market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.
Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.
Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.
Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year£¨Í¬Äê±È£©, compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.
Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's ZhejiangGeely Holding Group Co acquired£¨¹ºµÃ£©the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.
Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(¾Þ´óµÄ) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement £¨ÅÅÁ¿£©cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters£¨Éý£©, and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.
"As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.
Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.
Bentley, the famous British luxury£¨ºÀ»ª£© carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release£¨ÐÂÎÅ·¢²¼£© by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.
Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines£¨´óÐͺÀ»ª½Î³µ£© to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.
