My friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed (移民入境检查) at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order. But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at the end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end he’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend. “Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you are willing to pay the money. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I     31   .I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father     32   , too.” But what about the other days of the year ?
I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day 1 went to see her. We had a nice conversation. Then she wanted to      33    . So she dialed(拨号) the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen      34    , she dialed the number again “Hi, Mom…”
Later I asked, “    35     did you dial the number twice?” She smiled, “My parents are old and      36     . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them      37     time to answer the call.”
My friend is a good girl. She is     38    thinking about her parents. You also want to be a       39     child, right? Please always remember to     40   your parents often, not just on some important days.
