—__________ We won the match 4-0.

    One morning, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen as he just finished loading his car. “I guess filling my thermos(保温瓶) is all that I have left to do, and then I'm off.” Down the drain went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.

    With a nostalgic(怀旧的) look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.

    “Oh honey, I know she's watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,” I responded, tears in my eyes.

    One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, ‘Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense. Well, of course it would!

    He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.

    Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.

    The lasting memories don't necessarily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary times. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.

    Robert is nine years old and Joanna is seven. They live at Mount Ebenezer. Their father has a big property. In Australia they call a farm a property.

    Robert and Joana like school very much. At school they can talk to their friends, but Robert and Joanna can not see their friends. They live 100,perhaps 300,miles away and like Robert and Joanna, they all go to school by radio.

    Mount Ebenezer is in the centre of Australia. Not many people in “The Centre”, there are no schools with desks and blackboards and no teachers in “The Centre”.  School is a room at home with a two-way radio. When all students answer, lessons begin.

    Think of your teacher 300 miles away!

    But the 8didn't end here．The best part of it was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates to 9 in the company equally instead of just distributing them among members in his 10 ． So it was so touching for me to see this.

    I find it really hard to 11why we，who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies，do not feel like12but just think about how to get more．13 ， Babu，who earns only just about enough to raise his family, was so generous and did not even 14one extra chocolate for himself．I want to request all of us learn from Babu for being so 15and caring!

    I went online to check if my pay was in my bank 1. To my amazement I discovered that not only had I been paid, a 2 I'd never worked for had also paid me!

Dear friends,

    It is real a good chance to have met all of you here. We have spent several precious weekend in learning in the English Club. Although we have been members for a short period of times, we have made a great progress. That is because we are all very much active and the activities are not only enjoyable and also helpful. Besides, the foreign teachers here work hard and try his best to make the activities lively and interested. I am very pleased to say that all of us greatly improved our spoken English so far. I am looking forward to see all of you again in the near future!

    Children in kinder gardens have a lot of chances to interact（互动）with other children at their age．If your child is not in it, it can be fun and helpful to create chances to play with others．Here are some things you can do to support your child's early partner relationship.

    Schedule regular playmates.

    Start when your child is around one year of age, set aside a few times a week for playtime with partners． .Even so, you still might want to give your baby a chance observe and communicate with children who are at the same developmental level.

    Join a playgroup.

    Many communities have organized playgroups for young children．，and learn to feel comfortable in a new setting．As an added benefit, while your child plays, you can talk with other parents who have children the same age as your own.

    You can organize a playground in your own home．It may involve just one other child, or as many as three or four．.Remember: safety first.

    Offer guidance when needed.

    If you see a child playing in a way that might hurt another, certainly you need to help her find a safer way to have fun．．But remember that some children need to watch for a while before they feel comfortable joining in —encourage everyone to join the fun, but don't push.
