Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange
but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children. In return, they only want their little boy to give them good results in the examinations.
But why their little babies still can’t understand them ? Does it mean that they still want more material (物质的) things ? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation, and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.
So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their child to let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no boy will be regarded as a little boy.

“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my‘real-life’friends.”Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction (瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug (毒品) use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab. He was surfing the net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace（网络空间）than in the real world of friends and family.
Is“surfing the net”a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms (症状):
●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
●You can't wait for your next online time.
●You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
●You go out with your friends less and less.

B. internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep
C. some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted

“I haven 't come back. Tom. I've never been away.”
“Aren't you a ghost?”
“No, it was a trick.” I said.
Then I told him that I wanted to rescue(营救) Jim—a slave.
“I'll help you,” Tom replied excitedly. He loved an adventure more than anything else in the world.
When we got back to the farm, Tom said that he was Sid, Tom's younger brother. Aunt Sally was surprised to see him but was happy to have his two nephews.
That night, Tom and I went out to look for Jim. There were lots of huts in the garden. One of the huts was locked. So we guessed Jim was locked in the hut.
We dug a tunnel under the wall of the hut that night. Finally, we succeeded.
Jim was very surprised to see us.
“Hello, Jim!” Tom said. “But we aren't ready to do it yet, you'll have to wait a couple of days.”“Don't worry! you'll soon be free!”
Then we crawled back and talked about a rescue plan.
“I'm going to write a letter to Uncle Silas,” Tom said.”“Of course I won't sign it. It'll be anonymous. I’m going to warn him that somebody's planning to steal the runaway slave (奴隶).”
I didn't understand why we had to look for trouble but I didn't say anything.
“Well, Huck, if Uncle Silas knows, he'll try to stop the thieves,” says Tom.
So Tom wrote the letter and I put it under the front door. Uncle Silas found it in the morning. After reading it, he went out at once.
At night, We successfully rescued Jim. We are very happy because Jim is a free man now. Though Tom got a bullet in my leg, it was a great adventure.

It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.
Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror”the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.
“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．
There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (使受益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.
There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes halfclosed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(冥想)，”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?。
