Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I . I a gift for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father , too.” But what about the other days of the year?
In my family, my parents like very much because my aunt and uncle come back from Beijing to see them. All the family members get together. They are very happy. In the evening, we eat moon cakes and watch the .
I have a friend. Her parents in another city. One day, I go to see her, and we have a nice talk. Then she wants to . So she dials (拨打) the number, but then she puts down the phone. About 15 minutes, she dials the number again.”Hi, Mom…”
Later, I ask, “Why do you dial the number ?” She smiles, “My parents are old and , so they can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I only want to give them time to the telephone.”
My friend is a good girl. She is always about her parents. You also want to be a child, right? Please always remember to your parents at anytime, not just on some important days.

This month, we had the honor of interviewing and six local change﹣makers aged from 11 to 17. These weren't stopped by their age or size or lack of resources, they saw a（1） in the world around them and to step help where they could. They support female soldiers raise money through their efforts, teach other kids about life lessons, and use their free time to （2） the old trees we love so dearly in the community. Each of them had adults in their lives encouraging and supporting their work．
We were also honored to interview a famous writer for his new book, Start Now! You can Be a Change﹣maker．The book explains some of the world's big problems﹣hunger，health and animals in danger﹣in a way that young children can understand．The book shows them，through other kids' stories，how they can make a （3） , too. In our interview with the writer，he shares that each time his children take a small action，such as recycling，he talks with them．He uses the moment to discuss how small changes can achieve a great effect．It's a step any of us can take to help children realize how（4） they are．
At this time of year，we often hear lots of questions from parents．The most one is，"What volunteer chances are there for young children under 16?"The kids in the interview and in the book show us that parents don't have to find an organized event for their kids to take part in．They can create their own chances．As parents，teachers，aunts，uncles，and friends，it's our job to （5） for what speaks to a child's heart，help the man to take that first step，and watch what their little hands can do．
Start now，and you can raise a change﹣maker．

Hi! I 'm doing a survey on teaching materials in school． What kind of textbooks do you use？ Do you think the use of photocopied（复印的） netbooks and newspaper articles in the classroom can be accepted？ Please give your （1） ． |
|
The use of such materials is certainly not （2） for writers． Textbooks are like other creative works． Many people have to put their efforts in the writing of a book． The efforts of the writers and publishers will be totally wasted if everyone photocopies their textbooks． I can't imagine that! |
|
I don' t think it right to use photocopied materials even in the classroom because it's against the law． Teachers should set a good example for their students by （3） the law． |
|
Copied books are as good as copyrighted（正版的）ones， but they don't （4） much， usually less than half the price． In addition， it is so （5） to use copied materials． When we want to share something good we just have it photocopied． I think photocopying is OK because publishers are still making a lot of money anyway． |
|
Most of the time， teachers make sure their students do not use photocopied materials． But I know some teachers do use photocopied newspaper articles sometimes， as their students are eager to learn more to widen their views． As you know，teachers always put the （6） of students above anying else． After all， you can't expect all the students to buy newspapers． |

Children like to copy（模仿）what they hear．They copy their parents，their friends and even the TV．This teaches them how to speak the language．Copying is also（36） for students of a second language．When you listen to foreigners speak English，repeat （37）____ they say．
