Working parents feel that they are not giving their children enough care. They think that their children feel　1　and　2　 to spend more time with them.

Scientists in some colleges have found that working parents believed that they knew　3　 their children, but 　4 had ever asked their children what they thought. So scientists interviewed (采访) over 1,000 children of working mothers or fathers to　5　 what they wanted. They asked the children　6　they wanted their parents to stay　　7　 and some　8　questions．After they collected the answers, it was   9  that only 10% of the children in their study said that they wanted more time with their parents. _10_, the children who were interviewed said they wanted their parents to give more   11 to them. They said that their parents were as   12  as a bee. When they were asked about what they 13   most, a large number of the children said that they wanted to feel important and   14 .

So parents should know what their children really want and how to get along  15  with them.

Mrs. Green opened the door so hard that the door almost broke. Then she looked 　26 the window and saw her neighbor, an old lady, crossing the yard. “She is in my 　27 again. Those are my strawberries, not　　 28 . Maybe I should call the police.”

Her friend, Alice, was sitting at the table 　29 a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.

“Of course,” Mrs. Green answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your garden　 30 your permission(允许) and picked your strawberries?”

“I would say, it’s better than the bees.” Alice answered.

“The bees don’t take my strawberries, but the 　31 does,” said Mrs. Green.

Alice said, “That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and she 　32 picks some bad ones. Why 　33 you pick some of your good strawberries and give 　34 to her?”

“Are you crazy?”

“I don’t think so. Don’t you remember what happened when you were 　35 in hospital last year? She went to see you with some chicken soup. If you give her the strawberries, you can tell her that you still 　36　 that.”

Mrs. Green felt very guilty (内疚). She was so 　37 that she almost forgot what the old lady had done for her. Then she picked a basket of good 　38 and went to see her 　39 . Through the window, Alice could see that the anger（愤怒）on Mrs. Green’s face changed into(变成) a big 　40 .
