One day, I walked into a stranger as he walked by me. "Oh, excuse me." I said. He replied with a smile and said, " Please excuse me, too. I wasn't watching out for you." We apologized(道歉)and went our own ways.
Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. " Move out of the way." I shouted. She walked away sadly. But I didn't feel like I had to apologize to her.
While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, "Dealing with a stranger, you were polite, but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?"
I quietly went and knelt down by my daughter's bed " Honey, I am so sorry. " I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She said, "I found them by the tree. I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue ones."I tearfully replied, "Sweetie, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn't have shouted at you." It's okay.I love you anyway." she said as she kissed me on my cheek.

Few students like homework, but it is an important part of middle school life in the UK.
The UK has these rules for homework: Grades 7 and 8(ages 11 to 13): 45 to 90 minutes per day; Grade 9(ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day.
Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer. For example, preparing reports, using the Internet or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after normal hours. In this way, students without computers or the Internet at home can use the schools' facilities(设备).
Sometimes, students are given extendedlearning tasks. That means they need to do more research and analysis(分析). But however big a task is, teachers always give feedback(反馈) to help students find the areas where they can improve.
Some schools send students home with home diaries. They advise parents to check on their children's progress. Sadly, not every parent takes much interest. In a survey of 1,000 students aged 1l to 18, over 10 percent said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said their families did not support them enough.

Britain was once covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live here. There were wolves, bears and wild cattle with less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
However, all this changed. Now Britain's population has increased to 65 million. Three﹣quarters of Britain consists of fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is countryside,new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. Britain is one of the few countries in the world without a large wild carnivore(食肉动物).
Some people want to change this. Some say that Britain needs to become more natural again and suggest trees and plants that once grew in Britain should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in Britain should be helped to return and live wild. They call this " rewilding".
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees have been planted and there are plans for more﹣but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests﹣but soon there might be!
