Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you’re you. And they would do anything for you.

Like a lot of middle school students， Zhang Li has a problem. She and her parents don’t get on well. “I really want to be my daddy’s good girl. But it seems he just doesn’t understand. He talks to me but doesn’t listen to me，” said Zhang Li， a student from Grade Three.

Do you and your parents also have problems?

Well， why don’t you take a walk and have a walk on Saturday? May 15 is International Day of families（國(guó)際家庭日）. On that day， people around the world give thanks for good things about families and work on family problems.

A study last year showed that 1500 Beijing families had the same problem as Zhang’s family. The children， 12 to 15 years old， didn’t like talking with their parents much. They weren’t happy at home. Of course， lots of other children feel that way. But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends.

Here are some ways to have a good talk with your parents: find a good time to talk， like when you’re eating dinner， going out for a walk or watching TV. Tell them something you’re interested in， or ask them about their lives when they were young. They love to talk about that! Listen to them carefully， and look at them in the eyes. Be honest， your parents will trust you more. And a trusting family is a happy family.

My 10-year-old Donna said， “Mom， I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.

“Sure， honey， that sounds great.” I said， thinking back to my own best friend， Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights， New York. We met at the age of 10， too. Like my daughter， I was shy， but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school， with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.

In senior high school， Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon.” she told me. But three days later， Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon， my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her， tears came into my eyes.

The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi， Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”

My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon.

閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填寫表格 (每空限填一詞)。

Do you go to school by bus? It is very important for you to know how to be safe when taking a bus， no matter whether you like it or not.

First， don’t run to the bus stop， but walk. While you are at the bus stop， you should wait in a safe place. Do not run or play while waiting. And never get into a car with a stranger.

Second， don’t talk in a loud voice when you are on the bus， so the driver will not be disturbed(打擾). If you need to talk with the bus driver， you’d better wait until the bus stop. Never throw things on the bus or out of the windows. Never play near the emergency exit(緊急出口). When there is a fire， the most important thing is to break the window with a hammer or any sharp things and then jump out.

Third， when you are getting off the bus， make sure you walk(not run) three more steps away from the door. This is the best place to be around a bus. Stay away from the bus wheels and watch out for moving cars!

Last， if you leave something on the bus， never return to the bus to get it. The driver may not see you come back and he may begin moving the bus. Also， if you drop something near the bus， tell the driver before you try to pick it up， so he will know where you are.
