【推荐1】Every year, during Chongyang Festival, citizens of China show their respect to the elders in their families and communities. It's a special tradition which is rooted in the deep value that Chinese culture places on honoring their elders.
Sadly, many of our aging population are seniors without sons, daughters or grandchildren to visit. While they may have great friends, they no doubt miss the tender and loving relationships unique to families. To fill this void(空虚),many volunteers turned up at nursing homes around the country in order to spend time with the residents(居民). In some cases, they performed humble(谦逊的) gestures(表示) of kindness, such as combing their hair or washing their feet.
While the kind acts were appreciated, one embarrassing story out of Anhui Province raised a valuable question. Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers. Is this genuinely(真诚地) caring for the elderly? Many of the residents at the nursing home said that those gestures do not make them feel cared for at all. Their family members or community volunteers may drop by for a few hours of token(象征性) time, but soon they disappear back into their busy lives.
There is nothing we can give that is more valuable or appreciated than our time. While you may feel like there is barely enough time to care for your many responsibilities, might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with a senior who lives in your community? Just five minutes is not going to prevent you from getting your homework done, but it may totally change a day of loneliness into a day of joy for one old man or woman. Do you live far from your grandparents? Why not pick up the phone and let them know you're thinking of them? Or maybe you could remind them of the "good old days" and mail them a short letter. Imagine their surprise and joy!
We live in a complicated(复杂的) and busy world, but kindness and caring is still a very simple thing.
1. How many times did one old gentleman have his feet washed during the day? (不超过2个词)2. Which gesture can make the elders feel cared for? (不超过8个词)
3. What may the family members of the residents at the nursing home do? (不超过13个词)

Thailand’s Water Festival marks the beginning of its New Year. It is one of the largest water celebrations in the world. During this festival there are more than one million visitors every year. People play happily with elephants in the water.
In India, the tradition of celebrating water came from the following story. A god asked a clever boy when the glory of men would appear. The boy answered that it appeared on the face in the morning, on the chest at noon and on the feet at night. So, Indian people wash these body parts during their Water Festival to wash away their bad luck.

Do you know how the kids in different countries spend their holidays in spring?
In China, when spring comes, students have difficulty sitting quietly. They want to be outside. Teachers know this. In spring, schools usually organize a spring outing for kids. It might be a trip to a mountain. But typically, teachers take kids to a martyrs' park (烈士陵园). They can show their respect(敬意)for those who lost their lives in war. And also they can enjoy spring.
In Japan, things are a little different. The school year begins in April. In some parts of the country, the first day of school is also the start of the cherry blossom(樱花)season. 这是一年中孩子们旅行的最佳时间。People go to parks early in the morning with their family and friends.
UK children have many great choices when it comes to school trips. They can visit the seaside, or a theme park. They can look around a castle or a stately home (庄园). One special place to go is a wetland and bird center. The kids spend time in a beautiful place and also learn about the natural world. The people at the center are scientists. This means they're able to teach kids about the knowledge of nature. They also find out how some animals today are in danger.

Once kids hit the teenage years, parenting becomes more difficult than ever. Establishing (建立) effective house rules is one of the best ways to educate teenagers. House rules must respect teenagers’ needs to be independent and make sure they do proper behaviors.
How can effective house rules be established?
First of all, get your teenager to take part in making the rules, which can help keep them following them. Ask their opinion about what kinds of things they think are important when creating the rules and try to include some of their ideas.
When creating the list of rules, don’t list every single rule imaginable. Instead, try to limit it to the ten most important rules. I’ve seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a rule book rather than a list. Remember, it is important to make the list easy to remember and to be a basic guide.
Then, it is important that you write out the list of rules and hang them in a prominent (显眼的) location. Keeping the rules on the refrigerator or displayed somewhere everyone can see them is a good reminder. Revise the rules whenever there’s a need, not very frequently though.
Give a clear explanation of the consequences (后果) when a rule gets broken. But ensure (保证) that none of your consequences are equal to abusive (辱骂的) parenting. For example, take off the rule that says—“if you don’t get home by 11 at night, make arrangements to stay elsewhere until morning”. Let helping with small household chores like cleaning up their own rooms serve as consequences for disobeying rules.
Following these tips on establishing effective house rules accompanied by constant positive reinforcement (执行) will help improve your teenager’s behavior. Hope you can direct your teenager to become a responsible and independent person with the help of house rules!
