One day,I stole 50 cents from my father's room because I wanted to buy a scarf. But my father found that right away.
"Who stole the money?"he asked my brother and me. I was too afraid to talk and my brother said nothing,either. So my father said,"Since nobody wants to admit(承认),you both should be punished!"Suddenly,my younger brother said,"Dad,I stole it!"He took the punishment,for me. That year,my brother was 8 years old.
Several years later,we were accepted into university. But my parents couldn't pay for both of us. My brother said,"Dad,I don't want to study any more. "Father became angry,"Even if I have to beg(乞讨)for money,I will send you two to school!"
The next day,my brother left the house,leaving a note on my bed,"Sister,getting into a university is not easy. I will go to find a job and send money to you. "I held the note,and cried. That year,my brother was 17 years old and I was 20 years old.
During my brother's wedding reception(婚礼)with a farmer girl,someone asked him,"Who is the person you respect(尊敬)and love most?"
Without thinking twice,he answered,"My sister. When we were in primary school,one day,I lost one of my gloves. My sister gave hers to me. When we got home,her hands were shaking because of the cold weather. From that day on,I promised that as long as I lived,I would always take good care of her. "
All guests turned to me. And then,tears(眼泪)were running down my face again.

Do you know that some people don't do their reading tasks?It's shocking,but it's true. Some students don't even read short texts that they are assigned(布置)in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason,it has to stop today. Here's why.
Reading makes your mind active. It is like exercise for your brain. When people are old,their muscles(肌肉)begin to get weaker and their strength(力量)leaves them. Exercise can prevent(预防)this loss. The same thing happens to people's brains when they get older. Brain power declines with age. Reading helps your brain work better and prevent these declines.
Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore,reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games?Do you want to design clothing?Reading can teach you all this and more.
Read everything that you can at school. Reading enlarges your vocabulary. Even a"boring"text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak,write,and think more intelligently(智慧地). What's boring about that?
Reading helps you become open to new ideas and perspectives(视角). Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a wider perspective on things. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind. Reading can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can get away from your troubles for a moment when you read. So next time you get a reading task,take as much as you can from it. Squeeze(挤压)it for every drop of knowledge that it has.

Firstly,you make rules for Internet use with your parents. For example,when you can go online,for how long and what activities you can go online.
Secondly,don't give your password (密码) to anyone else,and never leak out (泄露) personal information such as your real name,home address,age,school,phone number and so on.
Third,never send a photo of yourself to someone in e﹣mail unless your parents say it's OK. Check with your parents before going into a chat room. Different chat rooms have different rules and attract different kinds of people. You and your parents must make sure it's a right place for you.
