Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone.lt is nice to have a friend to talk, to laugh, and to do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don"t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend. No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don"t get along well. That doesn"t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. It could be that we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. When we have friends, we will be very happy. Being happy helps us stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares.

Families and cars Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van (大蓬 货车). A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. A van can hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together. Mr. Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. Its sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many things when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents" home, the things are brought into the two seats, and then it can carry the grandparents. Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are traveling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes. | |

"I don"t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry," said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children"s eyes? One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent; he or she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of their life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on yourself? It"s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you"re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don"t call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children. | |

In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most students sleep less than nine hours every night because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also some students don"t know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV programmes or playing computer games. They stay up very late. Some students have to get up early every morning onweekdays to get to school on time by bus or bike. It can be a long way from home to school. Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that the children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night. As we all know, children are our country"s future. They should be well cared for. | |

Experts say that students usually need eight to ten hours" sleep at night, but many Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard. But not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy begged for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of student "early birds" in China, he has to get up before six every morning. A report shows that without a good night"s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night. Experts have ever said that students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, but they are able to work well in class. | |
