Now a lot of families keep pets in their houses. Most pets are small animals, such as cats, dogs, fish, snakes, birds and so on.

Dogs are the favorite pets. The second favorite are cats and the third favorite are birds. These small animals are very cute and friendly. People usually have them as their family members. They look after them very well, they let them wear beautiful clothes and their pets have nice names. They also give their pets nice food to have. They buy food for their pets in pet shops. They keep them clean every day.

Pets are all very happy. Many pets have their houses and beds. They often go out to relax and take a walk with people in the park in the morning.

Some children like pets because they need a friend to play with at home. Many old people don’t live with their children, and they keep pets at home just because they often feel lonely. The pets are like their children and they love them very much. So pets are very important. I think every family needs pets.

Family rules are useful. They help your children to grow healthily.     36     But how to make family rules? Let me help you.

Have a family meeting. Having a family meeting is important.     37     And you can ask what you think is good family rule. Then they are happy to follow the rules.

For every “Don’t”, give a “Do”. It doesn’t work to tell children not to do something.     38     For example, “Do your homework first; don’t watch TV before finishing your homework. ”

Keep the family rules simple (简单的). Children don’t know what “Be good” means (意思是). But they do know what “Use friendly word.” means     39     You need to keep the family rules to 5-7 rules.

Write down the family rules. You must write down all the family rules. When family members see them, they know that they have to follow the rules.

Every family needs family rules.     40     So now make your own family rules.

Do you feel unhappy when people play music or videos (视频)on the subway? It’s not a problem for people in Shanghai now. There are some new rules for the Shanghai subway now!

The first new role is “no using loudspeakers” (扬声器). Subway riders must follow (A) it when taking the subway. They have to use their earphones when they listen to music or watch movies on their phones. (B) Some people don’t follow the new rule so subway workers stop them or take them to the police.

There are also some other rules, like people cannot bring bikes into the subway stations; people cannot eat in subway cars people cannot drink in subway cars. People can see them near the subway station and on the subway.

Many people welcome the new rules, and they think the rules can help subway riders. They also want the same rules on buses and trains.
