He was a single father, raising a 5-year-old boy alone. He worried about his son growing up without a mother to care for him.
One day he went away on business, leaving the child alone. He was worried about the child all the way, not knowing if he had eaten. But his child always told him not to worry. He went home quickly after finishing his work.
When he got home, the child was deep asleep. He was tired out. When he was about to sleep himself, he was surprised to find an overturned bowl of noodles under the quilt. He spanked his sleeping son angrily:"Why are you so naughty, making the quilt dirty? Who will wash it?" It was the first time that he had hit his boy after his wife's death.

Our class had a weekly class meeting this week． We talked about how to deal with lies， hoates （骗局） or rumors（谣言）． Here are the stories some students told．
Zhang Wei： Yesterday my friend Jim went to school without his homework． He told his teacher that his dog ate it． It was just an excuse， he made it to cover the fact that he didn't do his homework． The teacher knew about that and made him stay to finish his homework after school． Sometimes we think we can avoid trouble by making excuses when we do something wrong， but we're really making the things worse．
Chen Ping： Last week I got a menage． It said， "A little girl called Julia has got brain cancer． The girl will get three cents from America Online each time this message is forwarded（转发）． So please be kind and forward this to everyone you know． If not， you will have bad luck for a year．" In fact， it is just one of the silly chain letters to cheat you and waste your time．
