One day, on the way home from school, my mom told me she was going to make some new rules for me and my brothers and sisters. Before this, we knew she wanted us to be good, but we really didn’t have any rules. On Sunday, she started giving us the “house rules”.
Clean your rooms every other day.
Be ready for dinner at 7 p.m. (that means sitting at the table, with clean hands). If mom is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet ( that means turning down the music and the TV). Be ready for bed at 9:30 p. m. (that means lying in bed, with clean faces). Get up at 7:30 a. m. to get ready for school (that means your feet are on the floor, not just hanging off the bed). Take the garbage cans to the curb (路边) on Monday morning before school.
Clean the bathroom on Thursday.
Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. At other times, it can be tough (困难的，难办的). For instance, if your room is really dirty and you can’t finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with anything else you have to do. That can be hard.
Mom made these rules because she loves us lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and neat (整洁的), and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules.

Nick hadn’t tasted plums and really wanted to taste them. He said to himself, “No one will notice if I take one.” He looked around and didn’t find anyone in the room. Then he took a big plum and ate it quickly. The plum was really delicious.
When it was time for dinner, his mother counted (数) the plums and found out that one was missing. She told her husband about it.

The father said again, “Plums have small stones inside. If you swallow (吞下) a stone, you will die the next day. That’s what really makes me worried.”
The father’s trick worked. Nick became very upset. He stood up and said. “I didn’t eat the stone. I threw it out of the window.”

The Blacks didn’t have enough money and Mrs Black was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things she bought in the supermarket.

【推荐2】Rules or laws are good ways to control some bad behavior. It is common that someone plays music on his or her mobile phone loudly when you are taking public transportation. Sometimes the peaceful environment will be broken when others make noises with their mobile phones. It brings terrible experiences and feelings. So a rule has been made to stop such impolite actions.
When you are in public places, it is easy to be influenced by others who play or talk on their mobile phones loudly. The sound of someone’s mobile phone can break up the quietness in the library where almost everyone is busy studying or reading books. While sitting in a restaurant, the person who is watching videos loudly may influence your mood of having dinner. With mobile phones widely used, the daily environment has also been changed.
With the rules made, the public environment will be improved. Some people who break the rules will be punished. Firstly, workers in public places will advise them not to do those things. If they do not make a change or stop their bad behaviors, the police will come and take them away.
Public places are an environment where everyone can enjoy relaxing feelings. In my opinion, keeping quiet in public is a necessary rule for everybody. No matter where you are, try to consider others’ needs instead of only yours.

【推荐1】Every time I felt upset or sick, I liked to go to a special place where I could relax myself. It was the club. I joined the club one year ago. My sister recommended this place to me. She told me that I could find lots of fun there. It’s near my house and our hospital. I usually stayed there for 2 or 3 hours and went home. I loved the club because I felt comfortable there!
The club only allowed women to be members. I didn’t worry about my privacy. The club was the biggest women’s club in my country where there was a lot of space to do different activities. You could see a beautiful pool that was filled with warm water. You could find many big rooms behind the pool. There was an exercise room, an MTV centre, a massage centre, and two restaurants.
Working in the hospital, I had much stress. I needed to find a way to relax myself. It was the best choice for me. I often took a shower first and then swam for 20 minutes to relax myself. When I finished the exercise, I liked to watch a video and take a short sleep.

【推荐2】Leo was a small and thin boy living in a small village. Some boys in the village often bullied him and Leo was afraid.
One day, an old wizard (魔法师) went by the village and saw Leo being bullied. So when the bad boys left, he gave Leo a lion’s tail. “It’s a magic tail.” the wizard said, “When someone wears it and acts bravely, he or she will turn into a strong lion.” Leo hung the lion’s tail behind his body and decided to teach the bad boys a lesson.
But when the boys came, Leo was afraid and tried to run away. Yet they caught him. Suddenly, Leo showed the tail and remembered what the wizard had said. He became brave. He looked them in the eyes and said he would make them regret doing that. Leo felt the goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) all over his body, “This means that I am turning into a lion.” he thought. The boys ran away in fear. Leo wanted to catch them, but he found his legs were as short as before.
When the wizard saw it, he came to Leo. Leo was very happy, though a little disappointed because his lion body had lasted only a short time.
“You are great.” said the wizard, “But have you ever seen a lion fighting? No one fights with lions because they know how brave and strong lions are.” Yes. Leo had never seen a lion fighting. He suddenly understood that he didn’t really turn into a lion and that what really worked was his brave heart.
