Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I   26   . I buy a present（礼物） for my mother on Mother’s Day and of course on Father’s Day I give my father   27  , too.” But what about the other days of a year?

I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day I go to see her. We has a nice talk（谈话）. Then she wants to   28  . So she dials（拨号） the number, but then she puts down the phone. After about fifteen   29  , she dials the number again. “Hi, Mom…”

Then I ask her, “   30   do you dial the number twice?” She smiles, “My parents are old and slow. They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call  31  . I just want to give them enough（足够的）time to   32   the call.”

My friend is a good girl. She is   33   thinking about her parents. You also want to be a   34   child, right? Please always remember to   35   your parents in every situation（场合）, not just on some important days.
