Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I     31    .I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father     32    , too.” But what about the other days of the year ?

    I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day 1 went to see her. We had a nice conversation. Then she wanted to      33     . So she dialed(拨号) the number, but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen      34     , she dialed the number again “Hi, Mom…”

    Later I asked, “     35      did you dial the number twice?” She smiled, “My parents are old and      36      . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them      37      time to answer the call.”

My friend is a good girl. She is     38     thinking about her parents. You also want to be a        39      child, right? Please always remember to     40    your parents often, not just on some important days.
