Jean is a bright young lady who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly (几乎不) find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.

So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名的), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself. He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favourite rock singer. But when she knocked David’s door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you might simply say something like this, “I’m afraid I’ll have to find a cheap place because I don’t have 1) _______ ________.” The other person may say, "OK., I'll meet you at McDonald's. "This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, "Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson's ", or "I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It's great. "This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him, and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may simply say, "Thank you. That would be very nice."
American customs(习俗) about who pays for a date(约会) are much the same as those in other parts of the world.3) In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a woman who is a university(大学) student or is working in the business world will usually pay her own way during the date. If a man asks her to dinner, outside the normal working hours ,it means "come as my guest(客人). " So you can see it is better for you to make the question clear at the very beginning.

There is no doubt that a mother plays an important leading role in the lives of their children. But what about a ①   ① ? Fathers play just as important a role as mothers.

Fathers give us support. They are the shore（岸）we swim to when our arms and legs feel tired. ②They are the strength we rely on （依靠）as we take our first steps into the world. Fathers can be gentle and powerful, but they probably have the simplest love we ever know.

For sons, the father is their first hero and possibly the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving.

For daughters, the father is the first man they admire and the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them. He is the first man to fall in love with them.

For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can believe in to watch over the babies as closely as we would. We are protectedin the knowledge of their love. A father is the person on the planet with whom we can do whatever we want ... one who will be just as interested and never feel bored in the face of our devotion.

Without fathers, we wouldn't be mums. I would like to thank them from all our hearts for this honor and for being our partners in the business of raising children.
