When you stay away from your home for a long time, you start to miss your good old bed, your good old parents. Believe it or not, you're feeling homesick (想家的). You can help yourself to feel less homesick. Here's how:

      ●  1.   If you're going away from home, bring your favorite pajamas (睡衣). You can also bring some pictures of the people who you may miss. You can look at them any time you want.

      ●  2.    The busier you are, the less time you'll have to feel homesick. Spend your free time on music, sports or books. Try to join in activities wherever you are. 

      ●  3.  You can make a plan for when you'll call your mum or dad. You can also keep in touch with family and friends by emails or text messages.

      ●  4.   Sometimes, telling someone that you're feeling a little homesick will help you feel better.  Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick and the two of you can do something fun。

We kids have different ways to get in touch with each other now. And for the old, they’d like to go to the market or     26      each other’s houses, but for the young, we kids needn’t follow the     27     of doing so.

The easiest way for us to get in touch and make    28     is to use the Internet services, like QQ. A lot of websites such as www.qq.com have     29    in the last few years and offered such kinds of     30     for free. So we can make friends    31     through the Internet.

Here are two stories from different parts of the world. They seem strange but, believe it or not, they re all true!

John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with. There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman. Lee told the police he hadn't done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee's body would fall, did not open. They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years. At all times, John Lee said he hadn't killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging.

The police in Venezuela (委内瑞拉) in South America followed a man home one night. He was the thief they wanted to catch. However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia (哥伦比亚). Venezuela's neighbor. When the police entered the house, the man ran upstairs to his bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer (律师). The Venezuelan police were not allowed to enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom. They asked the police in Colombia to help. The Colombian police refused to help because the man's crime (罪行 )was not a crime in Colombia. In the end, the Venezuelan police gave up and went back to the police station.
