A
When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right.” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“ Wait a minute,” Mom said. “ You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This really infuriated me. I tore my clothes off shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls were walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“Who’s there?” I heard.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “ Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from
home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I begged, “ Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “ Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.
“ What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

Commuting(乘车上下班) doesn't have to be terrible.I used to hate jumping on the train or taking the bus，but not anymore now.I always have a book ready，or my iPod loaded up with material for me to listen to.I've learned a lot while sitting on trains，buses and airplanes.Here are a few things you can do while commuting：
1．Read a Book

If you're commuting and can't really read or write，you can always buy audio books and audio courses on many different topics.There really are no excuses to waste your commuting time.
4．Learn a Language

Dear Jenny,
How nice to hear from you! In your letter you asked me how to keep healthy. I would like to give you some advice.
As we know, you teenagers grow very fast, so you need to keep a balanced diet. You should eat m ore fish, meat, and beans, especially fresh vegetables and fruits. You’d better not eat too much sweet. Also, you should take physical exercise regularly instead of studying in the classroom all the time. For example, you can play basketball or swim after school. What’s more, having enough sleep is very important. So I advise you to have at least eight hours of sleep every day and not to stay up too late.
Only in this way can you keep fit.
Yours,
Li Hua。
