    I walked into a stranger as he passed by me.

    ＂Excuse me.＂ I said.

    He replied with a smile and said, ＂Please excuse me, too. I didn't notice you.＂

    We apologized(道歉) and went for our own ways.

    Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too near. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. ＂Move out of the way!＂ I shouted.

    She walked away sadly. But I didn't feel like I had to apologize to her.

    While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me. ＂While dealing with a stranger, you were polite. But with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You will find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?＂

    I quietly went and sat down by my daughter's bed.

    ＂Honey, I am so sorry.＂ I said. ＂Are these the flowers you picked for me?＂

    She said, ＂I found them by the tree. I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue ones.＂

    I tearfully（含泪地） replied, ＂Sweetie, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn't have shouted at you.＂

    ＂It's OK. I love you anyway.＂ She said as she kissed me on my cheek.

    If we can be polite to strangers, why can't we do the same for the ones we love?

    Is a nearby neighbour better than a faraway cousin? An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it's true. Her kind neighbors once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.

    Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However, she was too old to mow（修剪）her lawn（草坪）. Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison!

    Luckily, her neighbors, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. ＂We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some help, ＂said Sam Adams, one of the boys. ＂That's the least we could do.＂

    The Adams brothers took their mowers（修剪机）and came to Mrs Lane's house to mow her lawn without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbors saw what was going on and joined in the effort.

    Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs Lane saw what her neighbors did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears（落泪）. ＂I cannot believe this, ＂she said. ＂They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn't even know their names. ＂As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her.

    Last night, a school night, my 11-year-old son's baseball team played a game that lasted until 9:30. By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30-an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.

    As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We sign them up for dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses（培优课程）or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievements.

    However, the irony is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colorful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.

    Parents make bedtime routines and carry out（执行）strict rules about nighttime. But in fact, these measures（措施）aren't enough because getting our kids, enough sleep isn't just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, bout parents and schools should make an effort.

    Young children don't have the skills or knowledge to stay safe in heavy traffic. The following tips (忠告) will be helpful for you to keep your children safe in heavy traffic. Children learn about road safety by watching others. As parents, make sure that you always set good examples. Your children will follow you and think it's OK to do like you. Teach your children to pay attention to traffic lights when you cross the road together with them. This helps them understand when it's safe to cross. Make sure that you walk between your children and traffic, and hold their hands all the time.

    When your children are a little older, you can start to tell them the importance of traffic knowledge. Let them start to understand the reasons why they need to be so careful. Talk with them about road signs and traffic rules.

    Ask your children to play in a safe place. Never let them ride bikes on the road without an adult present at rush hours.

    The most important thing you can do is to keep your children from getting hurt, so parents encourage them to follow traffic rules. After knowing about traffic rules, they'll volunteer to obey them. In this way, they'll be careful enough to keep themselves away from danger.

It's a good habit to keep your room t（整洁的）every day.

We should save e（能源）by turning off the lights when leaving a room.
