My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria in Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a big plate full of food came up to him. She sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and choose what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

 “I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend later, “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you want to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

A happy family life doesn’t happen by chance. It is a result from husband and wife who carefully and diligently create a home where there is love, respect, forgiveness, patience, service and selflessness.

         36   The love of husband and wife makes their union last forever; the love of parents for children enables them to feel safe in the world; the love of children for parents lightens the burden that the parents bear; and the love among children reduces quarrels and fights.

       A couple who respect each other never blame their spouse(配偶). He or she doesn’t think much about her or his weaknesses but helps her or him overcome them.   37   

       Forgiveness cannot be ignored either. Conflicts often arise in a family but they can be settled right away. The one who is at fault should immediately ask for forgiveness and the other should choose to forgive.   38   

         39   If there is patience in the family, anger will be controlled and there will be peace and harmony.

         40   Small acts of service in a family make people’s hearts glad. Children learn simple acts of service by giving their parents a glass of water, and a couple serve each other by taking care of family members.

       A. Live in harmony.

       B. Love is the greatest of all virtues.

       C. If there is respect, there will be encouraging words.

       D. If there is forgiveness, there will be no anger or misunderstanding.

       E. Being patient is difficult, especially for parents with babies or teenagers.

       F. If you do something wrong, you must make an apology.

       G. The best service is always found within the walls of homes.

 I watch TV until 12 o’clock, so I couldn’t go over my lessons. This morning I got up very late that I had to go to school without breakfast in hurry, but I was still late for the first class. When I entered the classroom, the math teacher had to stop explain an important problem, and all the eyes were fixed upon me. My face turned red. Something even worse was happened to me in English class. The teacher asked me recite the text. However, I could say nothing and sorry, for I did not spend some time preparing my lessons. The teacher looked at me with his coldly eyes. I stood at my bench without daring to raise my head. How a terrible day I had! I will never do anything like that..
