Mike is 15 years old and Rose is 13 years old. One day they went to see the doctor. Because they had bad colds and coughed terribly. After checking, the doctor gave them two bottles of medicine to take. There are the words on the mark of the bottles:
Tuesday, Jan. 6, 9:50 p.m.
We were sitting in our warm living room. The TV was on, and everything was peaceful. Suddenly the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Then the rain started, and everything went black. We found the flashlight and some candles and went to bed.
Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7:30 a.m.
My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly, the power (电力供应) didn't come back. After I looked out of the window, I felt even sadder: it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back, so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.
Thursday, Jan. 8, 12:30 p.m.
The snow started. The poor trees now had to carry the heavy snow. The storm seemed to last (持续) and we had nothing to do but stay at home.
Friday, Jan. 9, 6:00 p.m.
Still no power. Even though we lit (点燃) a few candles, it was still difficult to do anything in their weak light. I was sitting near several candles, but I had trouble reading.
Saturday, Jan. 10, 1:00 p.m.
The storm stopped this morning, and I drove my car to look for an open store. The trees along the roads were broken. I only bought the most necessary things: bread, some fruit, more drinking water and batteries (电池) for the flashlight. On my way home, the power came back and people were very happy.
Your mom tells you to put on your hat and gloves. But as the cold winter season gets closer, it's so cold that even mom's advice does not work.
That means it's time to put on your qiuku! This is a kind of "thermal underwear(保暖内衣)" or long underpants that keep people warm in the coldest months of the year.
In Western countries, qiuku is usually known as long johns but they aren't popular. Long johns in the US are usually two pieces, a long-sleeved(长袖的) shirt and long pants, worn under other clothing or sometimes even used as pajamas(睡衣).
Long johns first appeared in England during the 17th century. We call them long johns because the US boxer John L. Sullivan wore them while he boxed. But this is not a historical fact.
In the US, it gets quite cold and snowy in many places. And while parents often push kids to wear more clothes and long underwear, it's very special when young people actually(实际上) put them on.
Part of the reason might be because it's not very fashionable(时尚的) and another reason might be because people don't spend much time outside during the cold months. So they just deal with the freezing(冰冻的) temperatures when they have to leave the warm building. But in their parents' eyes, staying warm is more important than looking nice.
Some students cheat(作弊) 1 they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without 2the time studying. Other students might feel that they can't 3 the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a "good reason" for cheating, it isn't a good 4.
A student who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test 5 to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some better ways together. Talking about these problems and 6 them out will help feel better than cheating.
If a student gets caught(被抓) cheating, the teacher may give a "7" on the test, send him or her to the head teacher's 8, and call his or her parents. Worse than the 9 grade may be the feeling of having disappointed (使失望)those people, 10 parents and teachers. A parent may worry that you are not an 11 person and a teacher might watch you more 12 the next time you're taking a test.
There are lots of reasons why a kid shouldn't cheat, but some students have already cheated. If that's you, it's 13 too late to stop cheating. Cheating can become a 14, but a student is always 15 to act better and make better decisions. It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or friend.
A. Let them in your life
B. Do more jobs around the house
C. Have fun together
D. Express your love
E. Say more "yes"
F. Show your kindness and respect
Here are some advice for you to get on well with your parents.
.
Tell them how things are going for you, even if it's a small thing. You can share something about your school and friends every day with them. You can also talk to them about your troubles. They may have advice.
.
Find things you all enjoy and do them together. You'd better leave your computer games and spend more time with them.
.
Always respect your parents even when you disagree with them. Don't be angry or shout to them.
.
You probably want your parents to do that, too. Parents are more likely to agree with you and say "yes" when kids are cooperative.(配合的)
.
Consider doing something special for your parents on their birthdays. You can tell them you love them by trying a hug, a note, a kiss, or a simple thank-you.
