Sometimes you may not understand your parents．One minute they’re friendly，the next minute they’re shouting and screaming loudly enough for the whole street to hear．So who makes them so 1  ? You，probably!

    Is your room untidy? Do you leave things on the floor ?You may find it hard enough to keep one room tidy．So imagine what it’s like for your mum and dad trying to keep a whole house in order．

    When you take your clothes off．remember to 2  ．Get into the habit of taking glasses and plates down to the kitchen．Before long you’ll be doing it without thinking．

    Even though you may not realize it，your parents have bought you many clothes．But they’re not buying themselves new things every week，are they ?The simple truth is that there are more  3   things to spend money on，like the electricity bill and food．

    You may hate missing a party to visit some boring old relatives．They may go on and on about what a sweet baby you were．You have no choice but to listen．Even if you 4  ，your parents won’t change their minds．Parents like to show off their family．The best thing you can do is to help entertain your relatives．Your parents will be so pleased with you afterwards that they’ll probably allow you to go to the next two 5  ．

    You might not want to eat，but think of it from the parents’ point I of view．If you cook two meals a day．It means 730 meals a year．Can you imagine how boring this can get? Imagine how your parents feel when you say you’re not really hungry．  6  ，your parents are probably worried that you aren’t eating enough．

    Eat fewer snacks and leave room for your meals．Finally，offer to  7  after the meal．Your offer may not be accepted，but your parents will be pleased．

完形填空。

I was not quite seventeen when I decided to join the US Army. My mother tried her best to    1     me out of my dream, then finally signed the papers that would allow me to be a solider.       One day, nearly two years after the Philippines (菲律宾) became my     2   , I was told to go to the office of Lieutenant Colonel (中校) Boyd. He seemed to be a kind man, but I was pretty sure that he hadn't called me in to    3    the time of day.        Standing before his desk, I waited     4    as he read through some paperwork. Then he looked up. "Why, Private (二等兵), haven't you written to your mother for more than six months?"         I felt weak in my knees. Has it been    5    long? I thought.         "I don't have anything to say, sir."         Lieutenant Colonel Boyd told me that my mother had got in touch with the American Red Cross, which in turn informed me about that. Then he said, "Go to that desk, and you'll find some paper and a pen. Sit down right this minute and write to your mother, Private?"        "Yes, sir."         When I finished a short letter, I stood before him again.         "Private, I'm     6    you to find something to say to your mother at least once a week. Do you understand?" I did.          Some thirty-five years later, my     7    mother's mind was not as good as it used to be, and I had to place her in a convalescent home (疗养院). As I     8    her own things in a big old strong box, I found some letters tied with a bright red ribbon (缎带).          They were the letters I had     9    from the Philippines. I sat on the floor of her room that afternoon reading each one, tears (眼泪) running down my face. I now realized how deeply I, as a    10   , had made her worried by my careless thoughts.          The lesson I learned may have been too    11    to help my mother, but it's still    12   me good.          These days I don't need an officer standing over me to write my loved ones on a regular basis (定期).
