Sometimes you may not understand your parents．One minute they’re friendly，the next minute they’re shouting and screaming loudly enough for the whole street to hear．So who makes them so 1  ? You，probably!

    Is your room untidy? Do you leave things on the floor ?You may find it hard enough to keep one room tidy．So imagine what it’s like for your mum and dad trying to keep a whole house in order．

    When you take your clothes off．remember to 2  ．Get into the habit of taking glasses and plates down to the kitchen．Before long you’ll be doing it without thinking．

    Even though you may not realize it，your parents have bought you many clothes．But they’re not buying themselves new things every week，are they ?The simple truth is that there are more  3   things to spend money on，like the electricity bill and food．

    You may hate missing a party to visit some boring old relatives．They may go on and on about what a sweet baby you were．You have no choice but to listen．Even if you 4  ，your parents won’t change their minds．Parents like to show off their family．The best thing you can do is to help entertain your relatives．Your parents will be so pleased with you afterwards that they’ll probably allow you to go to the next two 5  ．

    You might not want to eat，but think of it from the parents’ point I of view．If you cook two meals a day．It means 730 meals a year．Can you imagine how boring this can get? Imagine how your parents feel when you say you’re not really hungry．  6  ，your parents are probably worried that you aren’t eating enough．

　　The train would start off on time. Just then an old man rushed on to it. He began to look for a seat, but could not find one. After some time, he saw an empty seat near a young man. He found that there was a bag beside him on the seat. He asked the young man if the seat had been taken. “Yes,” the young man said. “My friend had just gone out. He'll be back,” in a minute.” “I’ll leave as soon as your friend comes back,” the old man said. Then he sat down by the young man.

　　A few minutes later, the train started. The old man said to the young man, “Your friend has not come back. He has missed the train, but would not miss his bag.” With these words, he threw the bag out of the window.
